Yes, here she is fitted back as issued, basically. The ejector for some reason was relocated probably for a target sight that was removed. Per the data, 975 produced with a very rare survival rate due to its two year service life and need of conveyors.
Now this is my problem, I have not even one conveyor for this rifle. I have two patterns of conveyor clearing rods but Fultons, South Carolina and The Great White North “Shed” have no conveyors in stock. Can anyone out there help me?? Please…..

No conveyors I'm afraid- but I have some pics/ info for interested bodies to check out...
For what's involved, can you find a machineshop or gunsmith who will spin a couple up for you?
Congrats on the hen's tooth! Looking forward to a range report!

So what are the squiggly wire bits in the 2nd from the right upper photo row?
Lance's and Son's pictures are the most I've ever seen in one place of this variant. Quite enlightening! Thanks!
