    op rod catch looks refinished as pin is not in the white. It was probably replaced at some point. Hard to tell what manufacture the butt plate is as there is to much wear to the metal
    Nice Garandicon

    I have 5104988 which originally came back from Korea with a bent LMR barrel in the mid-90s from Navy Arms. I have since put a Douglas NM .308 Winchester barrel on the rifle.

    Very close number...and I don't blame you. I did one that was a Danishicon return that had an as new bent barrel, bent where it was thickest. Bet they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't group or zero correctly...

    Op rod cacth woukld not be correct, to much ear on the butt plate to tell what manufacture it is. Hard to see in the pics but looks as though the follower rod is not correct, cant tell about the follower arm. Are there hash marks on the side like the one I have pictured?

    no there arent any marks the finish is almost like a blued finish not so much a parkerizd like usual on all 3 parts. I did check the front sight screw and it had the same marks as yours.

    The last show I was at a guy claimed to have an IHC national match and had what appeared to be a copy of the org. paper for it. He didn't have the weapon with him and I told him they didn't make one and to go away. He wanted an awful lot for it but It appears I was very wrong about it being real.
