Here is the data on JSAR #7970:

Received from Cranston Arms 3/4/42

Stock #2

BBL #0560F

Hammer block #2963

Hammer #6583

Bolt #6699

Locking cam #8170

Firing Pin #4916

Extractor #8465

Magazine #A2403 

Transferred to NPC 3/5/42

These are the components on the rifle when it came from the factory.  It is most unusual for "issued" rifles to have original components unless they are the Chilean contract 7mm, many of which came back from Chile in "as issued" configuration.  Let us know what is original on yours.

Brian,

Thank you so much. So far the bolt matches your info. The barrel does not. I will let you know the final tally when I feel comfortable enough to field strip it.

Better late than never, I finally got around to taking my rifle apart and I am very pleased at what I found.

The stock appears to be a # 2 but it is difficult to see clearly. A #2 would be a match

The barrel is #8714E - not matching

The firing pin is #A8483 - not matching

The extractor is #8693 - not matching

The hammer block, hammer, bolt, locking cam and the magazine are all matching. 

Thanks for all the information. This is a great forum.

Hi kennethg

Better late than never, as the saying goes. And well done!

5 out of 9 definite matches is great, and if you can confirm the stock, it would be really great.

You have joined a rather small group of individuals who have rather unique JSAR's!

Nice to see Brain's name on the posts again! Looking back on all he contributed here over the years, he sure is missed!

 

Nice rifle to have some good matching parts!
