    I have these M1 Gas Cylinders . . . .

    I bought a lot of them from Century when they were closing them out, and 4 of them are sandblasted on the outside, and unfortunately on the inside too. Should I even bother to find someone with a gauge to check them?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    The GI gage reject is a very small ware limit as the military had lots of cylinders and the rifles were being returned to possiable combat. For us not so fortunate and demanding I have found cylinders as large as .531 work just fine with a new oprod piston. I use Smith Ent .528 oprod pistons with the worn cylinders. Don't throw any away, sand blasting probably didn't hurt them, clean them up and measure with a plug gage. You can make your own gage out of magnum rifle cases and using a micrometer. Several years ago I posted a "HowTo" on Culvericon Tips, if that's still around. Ivan

    Ivan, I remember that "How To", and thank you for sharing; makes for a great, cheap gunshow gauge.

    Some Gas Cylinders "Slip" on, some are "Pushed" on, some are "Tapped" on, and some are "Driven" on. I like it when you must drive it on with brass and a big hammer.
