Can you elaborate on the incident? How did you notice it happen? What ammo were you using? What actually happened when the lug broke? Did the receiver twist, parts flew out of the rifle, bolt ...

Interesting thread. Do you have your correspondence and the decision documented? Because if yes, this would apply to other demilled rifles that are not demilled per published ATF standard (weld...

Yep, the CMP barrel is parked, so I had all the metal parked to match and look like the WW2 era rebuild. I was worried about bolt setback on the receiver, an early Winchester, but it turned out to...

Just a little followup...

Was in a box of parts I got.

Has serial and green finish that reminds me of M1 carbine, or M1 rifle parkerized finish.
Has rounded back end, like it fits on a side...

Lux is gone, parts used as payment for the Egyptian. Egyptian adjusted, tested, refinished, put in a nice Belgian stock.

So I got 1, oh well, for about $200 after all fees and stuff added up.

So, the rifle is with Guy Snelen at AMG. His analysis. It's gone. Not only bent, but also supposedly heated sometime in the past, and metal is no longer hard. The receiver can be bent easily. ...

@Alan de Enfield : Thanks. Yes, I found the bolt fitting article shortly after replying to your question.

@browningautorifle: Yes, I know it can be a money pit. Just exploring...

No, other than headspace it with a Field Gage, I do not. Reading Peter Laidler's CHS article is the extent of my education. If it fails on Field Gage, see if there are longer bolt heads that would...

Thanks!

It's missing bolt, safety and magazine, so not going to shoot it anytime soon. On the other hand. It was $50 and I have a NOS front handguard and a NOS walnut forend in my parts bin, so...

So I picked up this project 1940 dispersal No1. It has black paint on the metal, which some say could be Indian, or it may be a post war BSA FTR work. The stock is a light wood stock, no stock...

So, what's the approach?

30-06 bolt with safety stop? (but 8mm extractor?)
30-06 bolt carrier
two piece firing pin with the safety slot cutout?

Will that fit?

CMP estore showed 4 in stock, I placed my order, now shows 3...

Yes, if you look at the P14 stock Liberty Tree had for sale they have arsenal repairs in exactly that style, rectangular patches.

The band, maybe. The box came with some 03 parts as well. Yes, I got a P14 stock and metal in the same box of parts. I will be selling/trading it and some other parts to fund the m1917 restoration.

Thanks! Already sent a note to Chuck. I have some trade fodder, so I'm hoping someone has a M1917 barrel they would wan to trade before I pay for the CMP one, but it's a good option.

So the box of parts that had the FN49 actions in it also had everything to put this together. At first I thought all I had was the receiver and the sights and stripped bolt, but then I dug into the...

I'll post an update.

Thanks deadwood! That was pretty useful. I already have an Egyptian FN49 and this was always a gamble. The same seller had a bin full of stocks, other parts and these FN parts. Yea, the whole...

Again, unknown. I paid $250 for a box of FN49 parts. These two actions were in that box with all the other stuff. Missing receiver end was disassembled. No history. Look at the history below.

Thanks for the replies . The Egyptian trigger group is probably a red herring. I picked a box of parts few days ago and it had two full fn49 actions in there , out of stocks, one Lux and one...

Don't know how this happened, but when i got this, it was out of the stock, and a trigger group form an Egyptian FN49 was bolted. It's almost as if someone really tightened the rear bolt...

I just picked up a Luxemburg barreled action and upon closer inspection saw that the back of the receiver is bent down. Is there anyone who could assess if it is repairable, and perhaps repair it...

Can anyone help me decipher these?
