Don,

That looks nice. Very nice.
Right around the range for the start of adj sight. If I had to be picky, I don't know about the checkered safety, I don't think they used them. The type lV mag catch appears to have been changed. He must have wanted to use a 30 round mag.

Is he still alive? Have you taken it apart? Curious as to the markings on the internals too. And the oiler and sling marking.

We lost the Colonel several years ago, so many WW11 heros are departing. I'm leaving Arizona until next winter, will take it apart in October. S/F, Don

will take it apart in October

Boy that's a long tease, but we'll stay tuned.
We honor his service.
