SA INC. M1A Op Rod vs. U.S.G.I. SA M14 Op Rod

[Greg V]

How do the markings differ between an SA Inc. op rod and a U.S.G.I. SA op rod?

Thanks, Greg V

Greg ,SA inc. markings are as follows:
7267084-2
SA
I will dig out a USGI tonite and post the markings .
Hope this helps !

I have seen some marked 7267064 SA and others 7267064 over SA. I can't seem to find any info. that says which is which. I think the one pictured is USGI, but I'm not sure.

Thanks Again, Greg V

who makes the non-usgi m1a op rods?
i hope it isn't the commies.

Some are made by SA inc., Some are made in Koreafor Red Cloud/Red white and blue, and last but not least China found on Polytechs,Norinco's and some Federal Ordnance rifles.
I have had good luck with the Chinese Op rods and have heard good things about those made in Korea,but have not tried any.
SA inc. op rods are not so great , but they do have the lifetime warranty .
