Scroll to the very top of the page.  Ya think the G.I. aiming the M1A1 might take out more enemy if he'd stuff a loaded magazine into the mag. port?

Uber rare Rock-ola sear here. It's a heck of a lot easier stamping it on top than on the side! :)

A submission by Tim "I think you spelled RSG wrong"

Tim, I think Robert Michael Chutney transferred that stock to his Saginaw. Previously he was making rare nosed stocks.

Yes, you are correct! The misquoted post on page one of this thread has been corrected.

Precisely identical to what I've got.  Closer inspection of mine denies a circled "IS"; the afforesaid 'circle' is more like a rim on the bottom of the cylinder from when the cylinder was formed.  Black colored cap w/ no identifying marks other than scratches from normal use.  I Googled "IS oiler military rifle" and amongst other stuff I found a non-chromed M1 carbine size oiler stamped "BK".  Also found similar size oiler for the WWI British Enfield which is brass w/ no identifying stamp

Ha, no O on the cap, just a scratch or stained spot.

I guess those "IS" oilers are not what we thought they were.

Don't think this one has been modified, very rare "Ontario M4A1". Maybe the seller meant to say it is an M4 plus 3? Good luck attaching it to a carbine.

Were they rebuilt? Yup! I have a M3 blade on a M4 Bayo.
The rubber grip and wood grip bayos are rebuilt USGI. The question is who rebuilt them. Most likely not by US contract.

There are not rivets. They are taper pins. Early M4s had a hole opposite to drive the in out for repairing a latch.
Some non USGI M4s used roll pins.
The LOL above certainly is a winner!Clown

Maybe so.
As Roger mentioned the tang peen is not the "sunburst" peen that would have been found on a PAL M4, although Case did use a peen similar to this one. PAL also used plastic spacers on each end of the leather grip. My guess is that someone put that nice new looking leather grip on this thing.

Maybe I could grind the rough edges off the pommel on my PAL, booger up the rivets and get $380 for it?

Maybe you can convert your PAL to shoot the Tok rounds?
