It was a NIB gun, bought from the original owner in March, 2003. It would not fire three rounds in a row without jamming. After seeing earlier comments about his work, I shipped it off to Delta, CO, for some of the PK magic.
He is milling the receiver to GI contours and bringing the whole gun into GI specs. It will be completely refinished and will resemble an early GI M1, with no-crossbolt stock, M1928A1 mag catch, "bright" M1 bolt, Lyman "L" rear sight, milled gripmount and sling swivels, and plain paddle-style pivot and safety. All small parts will have a finish resembling the original GI blue. The barrel and butt plate will be sanded with 120 grit paper, and then deeply blued. The receiver and frame will be sandblasted and matte blued per the original specification, yielding the characteristic "frosty" appearance, and will be the only parts on the gun not original USGI.
I've requested that Paul put a small Diamond "K" logo where the original ordnance inspector mark would have gone, as I believe that his work will become ever more widely recognized and will further enhance the value and enjoyment of any gun.
I can't wait to show the board members the results of this work! Look out, pumpkins!

TSMG Guy, are you supplying the non-crossbolt stock? Or is PK? |
