MXR Safety on 5.3 SA

[mojalajab]

I have heard that it wasn't uncommon to find a MXR safety on a 5.3 SA Garand and that this was discussed in GCA Journal Vol. 15, No. 2, Spring 2001, pgs. 10-13. As I can't order a back issue of this journal from the GCA, would somebody happen to have a scanned copy of this article available? Or could somebody just re-type the paragraph discussing this as my 5.3 SA has this safety. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Better research on the MXR safety can be found in the Fall 2010 issue, page 7, "Unexpected Parts in Late SA Garands." Oddities are found starting in the 5.3 range of the rifles examined and up from there.

Until those guns were examined and the results documented by John and Rick, most of us thought the MXR was an M14 part -- 'taint so! Never too old to learn.
