degree markings on 34 rec

Post by crash520 »

Team,
has anyone seen markings like a +3* ( indicating +3 degree's) or +4* on the side, front and back of a 34 reciever at all??? I have one with such, cant post pics right now due to computer issues. Interestingly it has no serial number either, has an eagle stamp on it, finish and machine marks match my Brno rec exactly indicating to me that its of origin and not a current manufacture as such.

any info appreciated.

Would these marks be how much the connecting post has been tightened to make a snug fit with the barrel jacket? There was a special tool and process for making a snug, but not too snug fit between the two parts.
