Good catch Bob!

Glad you got it all Rick. Next time your helpers will have a better idea what to look for!
I built up a Winchester Garand for an older vet several years back who said he always wanted a Garand since he used one in WW2. Two days later I get a call from a friend who had a table at a gun...
Is there any problem putting a stripped bolt (without the striker/pin/sleeve assembly) into an M1903? I assume that is what needs to be done to check headspace?
Does anyone know a good sight that shows the different rear sight ladders on type 38's? Some have large numbers, some small, some the number lines go all the way across the ladder (I think these are...
I believe Winchester used the poppet valve screw in the Win-13 series, after serial number 1.6 million. The 2.3's had the single slot solid screw.

Anybody know how to get in touch with Eddy Yuja these days? Thanks

Asked this on other sites but thought i woud ask here as well. I am trying to get some clarity on "correct" parts on a 4.2 million 1953 SA Garand. A few sources (namely Poyer and Babcock) state that...
Thanks for the replies, yes bolt number matches everything else. Must have been a civilian modification.
Does anyone know if a M96 Swedish Mauser circa 1916 swould have a straight or bent bolt? Thanks
