You're very welcome. You do NOT want to fool with the mag until you understand how it works! Another tip, the bolt must be open before attempting to open the butt trap, but should be closed while operating the cutoff!! It's a goofy system - in fact many specimens have had parts of the mag assembly broken or removed. Gun looks to be complete, and just in need of a little TLC. The cleaning rod is of special length, and, yes, the bayonet has a slightly larger socket to fit the 28" barrel. The one in the pic is most likely incorrect, but, it's a Benjamin towards keeping the rifle! :D Book, signed and postpaid, is $25 to POB 1367 Colusa CA 95932. Others welcome, too! :) |
