I picked up a 5.8 SA Service grade at the south store yesterday, nothing special including the ho hum late war/post war op rod - until ten minutes ago when I unstocked the critter.
Apparently I picked up a square cut Winchester op rod on my service grade, never seen one of these beasties before.

A squard cut WRA late op rod is always difficult to find even with the relief cut it is still worth alot to the Win 13 collector.
Here is a photo of a rev 0 op rod which is also hard to locate
Yes, it is the rather rare Win 13 op rod. Very nice Easter Egg.
Yep that's a really sweet op rod, actually the rev 0 op rod is the one I keep looking for when I buy a rifle but no joy so far :)

Another op rod to look for but difficult to find
Looks like mine.
Unfortunately mine has a relief cut, I bet yours has not....
My revision 0 top marked is machined just a little different on top and without relief cut.
Rev 2 are also difficult to locate with a very short window of time
I know where a cut -2 is but I can't get to it....
No revision 2 here but I do have a revision 1. I'm sure you have at least one of those as well.Quote:

I'm still catching my breath after the gas cylinder, top marked op-rod and the stock.
