So all 15's with a heavy lug are 2's?

Look under archives in the header above, and click on shroud types for some explanation, the older model 15 had a porkchop shaped shroud.

I'd better add some pics here, to help...because pics is what I do!
Going from front to rear, the model 15 has a flush barrel nut, early style crane release, knurled ejector rod, fat rear sight. These s/n's were stamped on the frame under the crane, but moved to the outside of the frame near the end of production.
The 15-1 has a later style crane release, mushroomed ejector rod, smaller rear sight (this model only). The s/n is also rollmarked on the outside.
The model 15-2 of course, lost the Porkchop shroud & the rear sight changed again. For the first year or so, 15-2's had pinned front sights, this changed when they introduced the interchangeable sights. Hammers were straight knurled, later on this changed to a checker or diamond style knurl. All 15-2 s/n's are rollmarked on the outside.
