I bought a CMP Danish issue with a Springfield reciever awhile back. Serial is 413xxx. Am I correct in believing this is a prewar reciever? Thanks.

IHC, who was basically not very well organized, are around,
but they are not particularly reliable, since there was no
pressure to keep the same kinds of records. This is explained
in all the major works on the rifle. Indeed, I have seen
all original, untampered with, untouched rifles whose barrels
bore considerably later dates than what is show in the books.
One also has to remember, those are ONLY contract delivery dates,
and apply ONLY to receivers, the exceptions and footnote are probably MUCH more vital than the dates themselves. And moreover,
a lot of this date-chasing is ridiculous poppycock, anyway; and
this is particularly so with postwar rifles, made to higher
specifications, but not with the same urgency.
