@David P: Thanks for the welcome, nice to have finally found a place that has helpful and knowledgeable people on the subject.
Thank you as well for the kind words regarding the photos; photography is a bit of a hobby of mine and always love a good reason to get out my camera, whether it be to take photos such as these or a landscape.
Thank you for yet teaching me something else I hadn’t yet known, was wondering what the term “in the white” meant as I’ve seen the term used often and also was not aware that these were blued separately by hand.
@DavidJU: I had actually just recently noticed the pin you mention was sticking out just slightly, I wasn’t sure if that was normal or not, but with your explanation it make perfect sense.
Also, thanks for the suggestion to look at mismatched shooters as well for the rear toggle link, the thought had not yet occurred to me.
@Anybody: Does anyone have any suggestions as to where a good place would be to look for a modern replacement magazine and also what the best ammo to would be use? As I said in an earlier post, I don’t want to risk causing damage to the originals when/if I decide to shoot the gun.
