M1 Garand Gas Cylinder
I picked up this gas cylinder not knowing if it is a SA or IHC. May I ask for some opinions on which it is? There are not any marks or numbers as I would expect on the SA but not sure about the staking on that stacking swivel. As always, thanks for all of the collective knowledge.

There is a IHC for sale on the CMP auction that ends tomorrow.There are great pictures of the IHC. One picture when enlarged shows the bottom of the gas cylinder. It shows a taper at the front of the bayonet lug base. I've read this is described as football shape. The CMP descripton shows the gas cylinder as correct. I have an IHC about 1200 lower and to my knowledge almost correct as bought in a private sale years ago. These Garands are twins right down to the lighter wood front hand guard. I'm waiting for Waynes book to verify the small parts.
