NC-30 Date

Got me an 30-NC project. Right now it's sitting in the back of my truck. It's true, this thing is built like a tank. I think I got a fair deal at 350 bucks. It needs paint, gaskets and the baffle boards are useable but dinged up. The build date is 7/09. I don't believe it was used too much because there is still paint on the bricks and the latch doesn't have a grove worn in it. Just curious what your date code was and when these were fist produced. I'll get some pics soon.

Thanks begreen, I fixed it. I've got it all apart now and found a few things. The front two tubes are arched up not down. I did also find the blast beads in the bottom. Kind of wonder if this stuff is under the damper control making it noisy.
