Hi ArtR that is a huge help thank you very much for sharing, i will start looking and see if i can find one :-) it looks like the spiral nail has worked loose by the size of the hole in the stock however i may be mistaken as my wifes tells me i always am Cheers :-)

thanks for clarifying that i should have guessed

Hi TinSoldier Thank you for you input and feed back also, i have not figured out how to reply to an individual post yet so will keep trying, meantime you you mind sharing what a IMO Buttstock is please ? many thanks Richard PS i have just discovered that if i hide my location behind a VPN i can view the Numrich website so happy days i will see if i can find my missing parts on there :-)

Hi ArtR Thank you very much, i believe this is the front cross pin ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/266549555475 if so i will have to see if i can get one here as there are a lot of new rules about shipping parts out of the US and in New Zealand. I will keep digging on the the other locking tab to, failing that i will ask my gunsmith, as he has a repair to do in the split bayonet lug and being ex NZ forces has an eye for detail too. Cheers Richard

Hi Guys Apologies for the delay, things have been a little busy here so i have only just managed to strip the old girl down, i have attached a few photos for you, a couple do not want to up load so i will have a look at those in the morning as it has been a big day. It appears that the barrel, firing pin, and magazine have been swapped, as for the extractor, i am guessing that the 4 may have been misread as a 1 as the other bolt numbers match however i would well be wrong. I sincerely appreciate all of your help and assistance. Cheers Richard PS many thanks again for allowing me to join the group

Hi Phil and Tin Soldier Thank you very much for the advice and feed back, i am about to head away for a week however when i get back i am looking forward to stripping her down and checking everything out so i will get some photos of the serial numbers and get back to you all asap. Its great to have a new addition to the family(so to speak) in which the parts can be so well identified and verified, greatly appreciated Cheers Richard

HI Guys I am very pleased to be a new member of this group so thank you all. I would like to share the details of a new much treasured addition to my family, any information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated please, the only visible damage is the bayonet lug, and it came with a reproduction sling Many thanks in advance Kind Regards Richard
