Here's the gas cylinder, lock, and screw that I'm going to use on this project rifle.

It looks great. If only it could talk. How parts do you have? Do you count them in pounds or tons?.

LOL.....I've been very fortunate to have access to a large number of gas trap and pre-war parts. A few of the guys that I get parts from here in NJ don't ever go on any forums, and don't even have email addresses. It helps to be close to the old Raritan Arsenal grounds as well. There are still parts here in oddball places.

Some more progress made....

The op rod is a placeholder since it's a -9 curve side. Matches damn near perfectly, of course. The short fork follower rod is good and used as is the op rod spring. Hard to tell, but the op rod catch is actually in the white, just very dirty with good patina.
