[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1668075, member: 13284"] Here's a data sheet that I started for the rifle, but haven't completely finished. As far are I can tell the incorrect parts are the bolt, op rod, gas plug, safety, and the hammer spring guide (buttplate is new repro, but I have an original SA that is not installed). I believe that the safety is an SA M-14 refurb replacement which makes me think that it was arsenal rebuilt sometime in the 60's. The finish is uniform on all of the metal parts including the bolt and op rod. Did all receivers and metal parts get reparked during the rebuild process (like your LEAD rebuild)? Is there also a possibility that the HRA parts could have been swapped out by the CMP? I'm not sure to what extent their gunsmiths may "rebuild" service grade rifles. Thanks for the info on the Duff book mblaney...I picked up Poyer's book after purchasing the rifle, but wasn't aware at the time how much better Duff's books were. I have a couple of the post war books on my watch list on eBay and will be picking one up.
