What to do with

I found this in a box in the garage. Have had it over 20 years. Keep trying to forget I have it. Looks to have been pretty worn, so then got reparked with the leaf sight on. :thdown:

Really don't think it can, or would be worth trying, to restored it. I don't do reparking, any thoughts? I guess it could be a shooter. Don't know what to do with it. :dunno:

Easy, offer it up for sale. I'm sure somebody would love to take it off your hands, repark & all.

Heck, I'd take it off your hands if I was bucks-up. It has a certain charm....

I don’t have anything like that laying around in my garage, just old yard tools, lawn mowers, etc. Looks like a good project for Charlie.

OOOOHHHHHH,
A Flip sight I can take apart !!!

If it will come off.

What mag catch is in it???? And is it the original one? Just for my own guilty knowledge. I would buff the new park off, buy all the required parts including stock required for restoration, assemble, bury in back yard till that really worn ugly but just right look came back. I just cant stand fresh park on a carbine.

Jim,
In your last pic....
Look to the left of the D marking on the slide...
On the left side of the barrel...
Just above the (hidden) gas cylinder....
Are those markings?

Frank wants it ;-)

Looks like a very small flaming bomb directly under the "D". However, these tired old eyes may be playing tricks on me. I zoomed in to 200% to see the marking.

Jim, I'll give you top-dollar... how does two easy payments of $19.99 sound? I'll even pay shipping.... But wait... if you call in the next 20 minnutes, we'll include this free steel cleaning rod so that you can ruin your crown and rifling just like the real GI's did!!!

Good eye! Looks like an import mark, but could be just random marks. If you want a nice surprise, put it on Gunbroker and see what it sells for. I'd love to have a 'shooter' that's all G.I. If you do, be sure to describe the bore and gauge the muzzle wear.

I call this my S'G' piece of Crap. Came to me in a parking lot sale at the Great Western Show when it was held in Pomona. Mixmaster, wrong stock, looks to have had a ton of use. Swallows the guage. But it did have some good parts. Park is not as bad holding it. I think the flash enhanced it some. Think I paid $225 in 1989 or 1990.

Charlie, no markings on the side of the barrel. In fact it is a W barrel. Looks to have been turned on the upper end. I assume someone took off the import mark.

Curt, mag catch is marked S'G' as was the safety. original, probably not to this gun. I don't think anything was original when I got it.

Leaf sight is WSI
Trigger housing S'G'
Sear SW-IP
Front sight N
Bolt S'G'
FP II
Extractor Rock-Ola

That's all I have on the sheet that I put with it.

Swallows the guage? sounds like its been counter-bored.

Charlie, you're right about this Frank, I still dodn't have one.....Frank
