Once apart, could you see any indications of what was hanging up?

It might be the rear take down detent pin sticking out too far and catching on the trigger group? Maybe slide a feeler gage under it to lift it out of the way.

Thanks for the boards. Paypal sent.

"Overall finish and appearance is moderately pitted on upper receiver under matte refinish" What an understatement.

That is tempting, really tempting.

I expect the ATF to be on it's best behavior for the next 4 years.

The earlier covers were held in place with 2 screws. You could switch to that style cover.

I will have to look for that issue. I think it was dated in the 60's.

Some Shotgun News ads from the old days

Some dummy 45acp cartridges would be helpful to determine the cause.

I do wish for the registry to open back up. Pop that bubble.

The ban on new MG's in the registry is considered "low hanging fruit" by some 2a lawyers.

Some other names from the good old pre-internet days. Don Thomas, Quality Arms? or something like that Joe Miller FAKTS Phoenix Arms Doug Offinger, DLO Arms I know there is more.

The pieces are moving closer to reopen the registry.

Lol...I'm sure I read your listing when it was published in Shotgun News. I too remember those days/prices.
