Charlie,

Thanks for the picture and the link. I read it, and it feels painfully familiar.

If my receiver is salvageable, I think I am going to have 2 bolts properly fitted for it while its at...

Here are a couple more super close up pictures of the damage. The white fibers are where I wiped the grease off with a tissue.

Also,

Is there anybody out there with the same receiver that could post a few close-up pictures for me of the same area where mine is damaged?

Additionally, pictures looking down from the...

O.k. I will try and do my homework. It will take a few days as I have time to do it.

I cannot have this much sunk into a wall hanger! As sad as it is, I will have a new receiver and bolt installed...

Painter777,

That looks like the correct bolt for my carbine. Do you think Fortune Telling Bruce would take $250.00 for it? With the expense of the receiver, that's about all I could offer...

Great information. If I can have it safely repaired, I will.

Jeff

Thanks for the advice!
Jeff

Thank you for all the information. I will be careful who repairs it, and will check my barrel.

Jeff

Thanks for all the replies. I am talking with several qualified gunsmiths to determine if it can be safely repaired.

Bob,

I see what you saw on the right side of my receiver. I have inspected that area and am sure its just a scratch.

Painter777,

I looked at the diagram on page 76. I cannot quiet tell what I am seeing in the area where my damage is, but I can certainly see mine is chipped/broken. I have posted picture again...

How true. I KNEW better! I will inspect the remaining rounds and touch bases with him regarding the load. Right now I am just upset over the damage. Again, I know I can get a bolt, but was pretty...

The right hand side looks fine on close inspection. No other notable damage other then whats in the pictures.

Sadly, and I must admit it out loud, it is an ammo issue. I was shooting reloads from...

Hello again everyone,
Well I got a lot of help from you guys regarding identifying parts on my mostly Rock-Ola M1. But now... tragedy has befallen my meager existence!

Went and shot it today...

Any info, or rough value would be appreciated.

Jeff

O.K. everyone,

A few more pics of the safety.

Also, If I post a few pictures of an M1 Garand, would you all give me an approximation of value and maybe some details? looking at buying it, but...

Bob, I see you are in the Columbia River Gorge. I am in Hermiston. What part are in?

Jeff

Great information, and thanks everyone. I am leaving it it as is. Its defiantly been re-parkerized, as far as the stock goes it really looks nothing like the flash in the pictures makes it seem. I...

Thank you all! I have shot it and love it!

So tell me more about mag catch....
Jeff

Thanks for the information. Yes, the slide is a type V. It was a typo on my part!

Thanks for the reply! Our snow is melting as I type, cold rain.

I wonder if this was rebuilt at an arsenal or by an individual?
