A First For Me

[Greg V]

I know, it's probably not a big deal, but it is the first one that I have come across.

I broke down the bolt on one of my latest acquisitions, an 1,871,xxx S'G', and found this early extractor. I have been through about thirty or so M1 carbines and had never run across one until tonight.

The bolt is an OI2 flat, with an NI type 2 firing pin.

Thanks for looking, Greg V

Greg, curios as to what the rest if the bolt looks like. That extractor does not seem like it has alot of wear on it from the the pictures.

[Greg V]

The bolt and plungers look really good too. The bolt looks brand new, although I don't know if it has it's original finish, a very smooth light gray park. I really don't think the rifle was fired after rebuild. It was a "white bag" carbine.

Do you have a picture of the plunger? I have one exactly like that in an early Inland with a "cone" shaped plunger.

[Greg V]

This is not the actual plunger, as I have already reassembled the rifle. It is identical to the one that's in that bolt with the early extractor.

I would not shoot it with that plunger mated with the extractor in the photo. I do not shoot mine with the correct parts, don't want it launching pieces and springs all over. My extractor does appear to be a little different.

Yea, I don't plan on shooting this one. It's a really nice "white bag" rifle. I wouldn't want to have to replace any broken parts. I have others that I do shoot.

I'll be keeping an eye out for the right plunger, which will be the only part I will ever change on this rifle.

Found a couple more pic's that might be of interest.
