Rekraps

Well guys, sad news on the M76 front. I took the part to the machine shop and the price they came back with, even with multiple units was way past the pain point for even the richest of the Forum members. Sorry. So, I did what I should have done from the start and call Andrewski. As usual, he is kind and helpful and is sourcing the part to a friend of his who will make me a unit for a reasonable price. Stay tuned and when I get it back I'll post pics and price.

So, I found a source with WMTTC in Montana. Checked the reviews and they were terrible, however I decided to take a chance (using CC) and order. Much to my surprise and pleasure, they shipped that day with a tracking number UPS. Not sure what all the crying is about, they treated me well, and I have three more boxes of S&B 200 gn subs on the way.

None to be found (just one source so far and all the rest are dried up!)

Yep, once the retaining pin come loose, the handle is a goner.

Thanks for the update Bill. Glad I got the getting, when the getting was good!

TSMG is 100% correct. Mine looks exactly the same. I confused "peened" with "neatly milled off". Oh what a goose I am!

I’m no finish expert but the both look original to me. One is just a tad more used.

I have an original I can take a pic of if you want. It’s in super condition (matching to the gun).

I like your idea. They have the tools!

No kidding! Nice work. Where did you get the inner lid frame! Bill and I have been looking forever for one. Do you have an extra?

Very true. I have a factory Springfield Armory FA three digit M14. Not sure if it’s worth more on the market, but I like it!

Good advice. Those parts are pressed in, then staked.

ONLY grind the front flat tabs (there is a small one and a larger one). Flush with the base.
