Question for Bill Ricca

[Rick B]

Bill is this gauge for the selector switch alignment on a M14? The other is a No Go for the piston I think? There is a package I never opened yet from the Dains. Rick B

I am surprise the Dane had M14 tools. I was not aware that they had M14's. (Sometimes things get shipped over by mistake)

Yes, one is the Gas Piston Gage. The other says it is for the location of the Selector Slot. It is a rebuild item, not Field Service.

I'm sorry Bill, I just meant the last item in the wrap was from the Danish, the rest look to all be U.S. G.I.

The L shape piece with dried cosmoline,, any idea? Thanks,,Rick B

[Bill Ricca]

Sorry Rick, but I do not see any L shaped item with dried cosmoline. Please post a picture.

Looks like first thumbnail center top left. I missed it at first but it seems to be a cosmoline covered piece of sumthin'.

[Bill Ricca]

Need to see the markings

[Rick B]

Here are a few close ups. It is exactly 2" from outside center to outer edge on both sides and 1 1/4" wide. Any thoughts? The inside from center to outside edge is 1 3/8" and the other side is 1 1/4 Thanks,,Rick B

I have no idea what it is. If that is cosmoline, then is probably quite old, and not M14 related. 95% of the items packed by 1952 were in VCI paper and cosmoline was quickly becoming obsolete.

Interesting that it is made up of two pieces bolted together. I would'nt think that is as accurate as a solid machined part yet would cost more to build??
