Late rock island questions

[mitchell6776]

Would a 1919 dated rock island be expected to have all parkerized parts, including barrel and bands? I read in one of my references that all RIA barrels were blued. Also- the RI grasping groove stock is marked with a single Y inspectors mark. Could this be correct as well?

Thanks

If you are referring to the rifle I think I know, JB said, on another forum it is a "parts queen".

Not sure.. Do you have a link to the thread? I can't seem to find it.
