[QUOTE="Cold Smoke, post: 3925538, member: 44374"] Yes, the firing pin is the floating type with the tang. From the article you linked to, the Redux models were in the 300xxx serial number range. I think this one is a very early sample. It does have the adjustable rear sight, the heat shield stock band is the bayonet type, the fire control group is the early pinched type with the rotating safety switch before they went to the rectangular one. According to that website the very early ones were 99-100% compatible with GI carbines. Guess I need to disturb the dust on the precision tool box and start mapping it out. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but it looks like the tappet block had broken and been re welded before. I’ll drag it out and try to get some better pictures. Right now it’s like I put up a photo of a whatles eye and asked you to describe the rest of it. [/QUOTE]
