Many thanks! I was lucky

Now, speaking of lucky, here's the really good news ... It functions perfectly, and in some casual short-range plinking, it seems to group quite well.

I'm really, really, really tempted to put a scope mount on it. That way, I could seriously test its accuracy. (IMHO, most guns are accurate, just hobbled by bad sights, bad ammo and bad technique.)

However, I suspect some folks here would string me up for modifying a USGI original gun

Thanks!
Dave

dbuf,you did good,i think my eyes see a cannon cartouch ,right side

Two or three inches forward of the oiler? I've looked and looked and looked at that, and I can't tell if it's there (or if I'm seeing the face of Elvis on a pumpkin).

In either case, what would that indicate?

Thanks!
Dave
