[Milsurplus] Repaneled Receivers

Mon, 04 Feb 2002 11:35:03 -0500

I am wondering if this is the case with my BC348. There are no filled holes 
where the handles and name plate should go but it has the cover plate on the 
front for the sub chassis and the tabs for the screws definetly are not home 
cut.   John K4KWM
