Modified gas trap front sight, original on cylinder in photos. These front sights use to sell for around $1500 plus, with the ears removed, very difficult if not impossible to restore

Very sad to see. I have one that belonged to Mac. Haven't figured out what to do with it yet. As you said, very hard and expensive to restore.
Too bad it isn't a flared sight with either drawing number, I could use that one.
Attachment 23584Attachment 23583This early follower and slide was a gift from Mac (about ten years ago) - note the bevels
Later I found out serial number 4016 also has a follower like this one
Very Nice. I am slowly restoring/recreating two gas trap recievers Mac had.
I saw your photos on the other website. here is a quiz that I sent to my friend: only one part in eack photo is an original Springfield part.Attachment 23593Attachment 23592Attachment 23591
These pics make one jealous to the max. I had a chance to purchase a receiver in the 35000 range but didn't because trying to restore a gas trap in Canada would be a pipedream. I'm not even sure we have one here. Anyone????
pm sent, answers to quiz.
Just a guessQuote:

Mark, the barrel in the center is an original gas trap barrel and marked D-28286 heat lot T-2,
the other two barrels had threaded sleeves installed then machined/threaded to fit the gas trap cylindersAttachment 23633
