Make that "regarding question"
Someone on Culvers Forum asked this question :

"Last edition had an article about what is possibly an "experimental" Garand icon

.
The article states that the custom made gas cylinder has "no gas cylinder lock".
Yet it uses a lock screw.
Does anyone have any idea how that gas cylinder is secured to the barrel?
Just curious.
Chris."

I went back and reread the article thinking I could answer his question but

Hope Bob Seijas icon

or someone else can answer this question. Thanks.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I never thought of that when I examined the gun

Tony is aware of the question, promises to look and answer it when he can dig it out.

I'm new to this forum and have been lurking to see what you folks are made out of.
I asked the question "over there".
Curiosity gets the better of me and eventually I would have asked here.
Chris.

Mr Seijas

informed me that the question has been posted on this forum. Have not been here in quite awhile, so I joined, and will post the answer to your question here shortly and hopefully some photos. I suspect the front sight screw is key to the attachment. Tony
