Recoil Spring Housing

Should all M1's have one? Mine does not. All parts diagrams I found show housing, spring and guide. I have spring and guide only.

rocky, if you mean a spring tube, no. Most had the lower right side of the receiver drilled out to hold the spring and guide. HTH.....Frank

Only Quality HMC used the spring tube throughout production. Other manufacturers who used it early on in production went with drilling the deep hole instead.

Here's a tip for rocky and other members ....

If you want to simply Thank another poster, there's a quick way of doing it that saves both thread storage and transmission bandwidth for members in reading threads.

On the narrow bar at the bottom of every post, there's a series of buttons that members can use. One of them says Thanks and has a small hand with a thumb pointing up. Click that icon and you'll be able to thank the member who made that specific post and he'll know by user name who appreciated it.

Regards,
Doug
