I got around to taking better pics after my initial joy over my awesome new 3,446,XXX SA FG M1 Garand.
Trigger Housing: 6528590 - HRA N
Hammer: HRA 5546008
Safety: HRA
Stamped Trigger Guard.
The trigger group is mint. It actually looks as clean as the trigger group that came in my HRA SGS. (Just realized I should compare the condition of the two different trigger groups)
The stock has awesome color and was saturated in cosmo. These pics are before the mineral spirit wipe down and pure tung oil treatment. The stock has the usual scuffs and dings, but I am very happy with it. The stock has been sanded. "SA GAW" is faint, but still visible, as is half of the crossed canons cartouche. Circle P is partially sanded off the grip. Like MajSpud's SA FG beauty, this stock has a number punched into the keel of the buttstock (majspud gets credit for correctly describing it as being on the "keel" of the stock) and also the disk cutout on the heel of the grip. No disk though. The handguards match in color and patina, but the rear handguard has a crack at the front by the lower band. Anyone got a suggestion for a repair? The buttplate is worn, but not worn to hell like some FG I have seen.
Bolt: D28287-12SA 011A<> The bolt has seen some use, and looks like it was reparked.
Op Rod: 6535382 HRA. There is surface rust and pitting on the tip of the op rod handle. Suggestions?
Barrel: S-A-3-52. ME 2, TE 4. Chamber is gonna need some scrubbing, rifling looks good.
High Hump Gas Lock with some old black paint flaking off.
Gas Cylinder has no markings, and looks like your regular run of the mill wide base gas cylinder.
Gas Cylinder Lock Screw: T, no finish left on it.
Rear Sight Elevation Drum/Pinion: "IHC", "W" in a hexagon, line through W
Rear Sight Windage Drum: "W" in a hexagon, line through W.
