Krieger conversion fourth screw ?

[uhjohnson]

excuse the photos but the only way i could reduce the file size from my smart phone, was to crop. i just got this 81 and noticed this rounded protuberance on the left side sticking out approx. 3/32 of an inch. according to this forums info a Krieger should always have 4 screws (Fig 4). The head of the magazine indicator assembly was drilled and secured with a flat-head screw. as you can see mine does not. is this because mine is a pre-flat screw or was there a problem and this was the fix to keep the assembly in. the area around the protuberance that is a different color than the bluing is lacquer that made it on the receiver from someone refinishing the stock and the white line is a reflection.

thanks

I'd say you have a legit Krieger, but I've only seen one other with such a protrusion instead of a screw head. Maybe the men at Krieger tried a few methods of securing the magazine indicator assembly before deciding on the one we see the most.

the gun you are showing has made it's way to me, so there is no---one other
