    Housings and bolts on 4.2 million SA Post War garands

    Asked this on other sites but thought i woud ask here as well. I am trying to get some clarity on "correct" parts on a 4.2 million 1953 SA Garand. A few sources (namely Poyer and Babcock) state that these early post war SA M1icon's had "no dash" trigger housings, ie housings stamped 6528290 SA rather than the more common 6528290-SA. Is it generally agreed that the -SA housing came later, around 5.5 million? Second, Babcock claims that several 4.2 million M1's had late -19 bolts rather than 65 bolts. Is this correct? Help appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
