Posted December 25, 2009 · Report post 19PM42: Someone will have a front sling swivel and, judging from the one on my JSAR, it looks identical to the one on my Garand. If your receiver does NOT have an A or B prefix (just a numeral s/n) the site admin. can give you mfg. data on your rifle. To release the bolt, pull back slightly on the bolt handle and press the magazine loading gate cover, which acts as the follower, and the bolt will go forward. Enjoy your bit of history. B.T.
