    T PAX marked gas plug ...correct for ?

    Guys can you just confirm that a T PAX is indeed correct for a WW2 M1icon Garand..then if it is one of the WW2 makers..is it correct for a 2.5million Springfield ?

    Regards

    Lloyd

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Not WWII

    The actual time period the T-PAX screws were used is unknown but they definitely were not used during WWII. They are post war screws and most likely were replacements used after 1959 rather than used on any original Garands.

    Thanks

    A million thanks Latigo1..so this can go straight back to the seller who advertised it/sold it as a WW2 part.

    Incidentally...does anyone have the definitive list of WW2 makers ..and what should my 2.5 million Springfield have on it

    Kind Regards and thanks again

    Lloyd
