Rekraps Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Actually, it looks like a NOS cosmolined up blish. Clean that baby up and I bet it works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiller Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) You don’t see the wear on the right and left ears from use? I’m not questioning if it will work. I have several others with the Same wear pattern. It looks like it has already been working and not new was my question.

reconbob Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Yes, that is a used blish lock. I would also say that the wear rises to the level of damage vs. normal wear. In a properly functioning gun you don’t see wear like that. A lot of people sell used parts as new either because they are dishonest or because they don’t know the difference. There was a breech oiler listed as MINT/NOS up on GB for the longest time and the felt was worn and dirty and the bluing was 50% gone and you could see the ring shaped wear marks where the buffer hits. Really at a glance you knew it was not MINT, but there it was. You have to be careful with cosmoline. I bought some NOS mag catches from a reputable seller, they were packed in little zip lock bags and all gunked up so I just put them in the bin. Months later when i degreased them to use them they were all badly pitted. I am sure the seller did not know and was duped by whoever he got them from.

Motorcar Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Yes to what Bob said, also may have been run in a West Hurley that has the slots cut at the wrong angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiller Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Thanx for conformation. Sell er probably doesn't look at the parts he sells with any care. Guess it could happen to anyone if they arn't paying attention. R/s, Hiller...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
