So you have a carbine with a mismash of parts, it might have came that way originally. One of the great things about the garand and carbine is for the most part the parts are interchangeable.Īnd in the carbines case, some manufacturers really didn't make any of the parts, they wer put in from others postal meter, just from memory, was like that. Or, you just leave them alone realizing they were intentionally designed for mix/match on the battlefield.
Winchester m14 op rod serial number#
You can go to the serial number range, and find the parts with the right revision numbers, just winchester isn't good enough for some, it has to be the right revision number. I have mixed feelings about putting them together. There are not many of them in country due to the import/export laws. I finally managed to get a Howa m1carbine recently, these were made in japan after the war for thailand. I also got him an Erwin Pedersen M1 Carbine he has rebuilt.Īn erwin is one i never managed to acquire, but there are some variations that are even more rare, try maybe 200 or them in existence. I am glad he has the Winchester and am glad I have a very accurate Korea-era Springfield that I shoot often.
He has gone over the Winchester and has replaced about everything with Winchester parts. Knowing how much he wanted a Winchester to add to his collection, I told him to keep it and give me one of his good shooters. A friend who collects Garands took it for a while to get it back into shape for me. I got a Garand with a Winchester receiver for about $65 back when I was in about the 10th grade and shot it off and on for many years. Here is a link which may help better than what i wrote: The early ones were flat screwed, the later ones had a phillips head screw which is the easiest way to distinguish them, and it was as a gas relief. That is also the reason why the gas piston screw on the front was changed. The uncut ones are highly prized in the WWII vintage guns because of that they are rare. When the changeover came new ones had that cut, and during arsonal rebuilds, the cut was made.
Supposedly they were breaking from the stress of firing rifle gernades, so the cut was there as a stress relief. Originally there was no moon cut in the op rod. If there is a half moon "cut" there it is a cut op rod. It is basically where the joint is i would call it. When you pull the op rod out, look at the section where it is thickest right about where it would sit on the right side of reciever before it narrows up into the arm going forward. What also is meant by cut and uncut op/guide rods and how do I tell?
