I did recognize FGS in the list. It's the first one to contact, I agree.

We're checking the duck out--how it walks, quacks, and otherwise behaves. As soon as it f@rts, then we'll know!

Hope you get that GI Tgun mag. Let us know if it works. Best to you, Vince
I bought two at the Rochester gun show this weekend. I gladly paid $30 apiece, in excellent condition, vintage/pre-ban. They're only $20 online, but those, I couldn't hold in my hand to check condition. At the moment, I have them marked and ready for the die grinder to extend the holes. My mag catch may be round, but the current carbine design yields around 1/8" difference in height of the lower frame. Somebody on the Gunboard said it was to prevent installation of original full-auto parts in that space. I think these new mags show much promise; I'll let you know how they feed after I get them to click in snug.

Great! That's what I'm talkin' about! Doug, imuy bien! I'm hoping we can wind up with a puzzle piece in place, if you could do that. If there's enough time, maybe you can get a peek at this alleged collection.
