    Shouldn't the stock be an NFR and not a GAW? Is the -9 op rod a flat or radiused side? Is the safety -11 or _11? There is a huge difference.

    Not trying to be a wet blanket here but it's apparent you know very little about the M1 rifle, and that's ok. None of us are born with the knowledge. I've been studying, collecting and shooting the...

    I was gonna' ask the op if the hammer was cocked or at rest when he tried to engage the safety. OP, the hammer has to be in the cocked position to engage the safety.

    It also is a a sign of an uneducated or ignorant mind. It's akin to the excessive use of the F-bomb because one is too unlearned or ignorant to know the proper qualifier needed.

    What's with all the "pew, pew" crap. Even a .22 doesn't go "pew". In over 50 shooting years I've NEVER heard any firearm go "pew". Pew is what one sits in in church.

    Those look more like hydraulic dents from using too much case lube during the resizing process of hand loading. Did you notice the dents before or after resizing the cases?

    It doesn't appear to have been sanded. The grain is not smooth as if sanded or handled a lot. I'm thinking maybe modern replacement wood.
