Revision 0 operating rod with relief cut

[RCS]

Revision 0 operating rod with modification that I had from years ago. I remember when Paul White had a bunch of top marked revision 0 op rods (all with relief cuts) that can with the parts kits imported from Canada (no receivers) and somebody bought them all. This op rod with the relief cut came off a rifle from Paragon Inc

Unmodified Top and bottom O marked op rods are very difficult to find indeed.

My D 35382-0 top marked operating rod (uncut)is shown on page164 of Duff's "The M1 Garand: World War 11" book First Edition 1993.

Question: what kind of value could you place on the revision 0 (bottom marked) operating rod with the relief cut and new piston tip ?

600$ is about what I’ve seen lately.

Yes, I agree with Scott......about $600ish +/- a few bucks.
