  1. This gun shows lots of similarities to the NAC 1928 A1 at Rock Island last September:

    The receiver and trigger frame color don't match. The knob is not curled. Fire control levers not correct. Stock is not correct for a British lend lease. just seems awfully coincidental that the exact same issueare present on both guns? Makes me think NAC was doing some type of standard parts change out or upgrade and both guns where imported back to USA in same batch. Also have to be a little concerned lowers were changed out and renumbered to match receiver.

  2. John Norrell in Little Rock, Ark. is a great guy. He recently went thru my trigger pack. I had broken a hammer spring. Also had him make a spare antibounce bolt and plunger.

     

    The registered NFA part on the Ruger 10/22 is the S&H sear. I think around 2000-2500 were done by Curtis Higgins from Oklahoma. Most were purchased by John and used in his trigger pack design but some sears were purchase by other gunsmiths whose conversions closely copied Norrell's design on the trigger pack. The good news is the sear is the NFA part and not the trigger pack. So, if trigger pack wears out ,spring breaks etc, John can rebuild or make from scratch. The sear is not likely to "wear out". The NFA form should read the legal part as " S&H Sear". So, I wouldn't let some wear on the trigger pack worry me at all as long as it's the S&H sear conversion.

  3. Frank, just wanted to give you heads up on the machinegunbooks web site. There is now a clickable link "ordering information" up on the site for American Thunder III but when you click on it you get a page of nothing but computer code, it doesn't take you anywhere to order the book.........................................scott
