Likely shipped late in 1958. At serial number 17253 it could be either a Type 2 or a Type 3. The Type 2 has the "offset" ejector rod housing while the Type 3 has the "straight slot" housing. Can't quite see the full length of the housing on the left side of the barrel.
There was a mixture of both of these from about 17000 to about 18600 . . . give or take a few.
There's no factory record of which style housing was shipped on any particular gun, and they are easily swapped out . . . thus dubbed by Bob C as "screwdriver variations".
