Real Parts are Getting Scarce, But I Scored Plungers

[painter777]

I've been trying over the last year to buy up NOS Real USGI spings. Ejectors, Mag Plungers, Mag catch-Safety Plungers, Plunger springs, trigger springs, Sear springs .. etc.
And I've noticed they are getting very scarce and many are Repro being passed off as NOS USGI. To be safe I just receive 2 bundles of Replacement Bolt tool pawls from nenel3 (Andre') 20 in total.

My order for just Plungers from the auction I won on GB was sent out promptly by the seller. But has hit a snag, I tracked it to Detroit but then the next day it was in Fort Wayne, IN, then left. Current tracking since Jan 10 shows it left Fort Wayne and is still in route and will arrive late. But no updates... I have a gut feeling the bubble wrap bag split apart and they rolled around the floor like bb's. I paid ~$50 for those 12 Plungers which included money order and shipping.

But I ran across a listing on the CMP with parts listing galore. I picked up Plungers from sealed bags for a total of 20 Plungers. Besides servicing my own carbines and for friends I also service the carbines owned by my Rifle club which get heavy/hard use.

I suggest you think hard and consider stocking up on the misc parts currently listed on the CMP WTS Carbine section, while they last. The seller is a member here and other forums in good standing.
