I have a bent steel plate that fits over the flip sight. I don’t know if it was a tool they made for installation, or if it was just a visual gauge to show when the flip was centered on the heel of the receiver. Keep it in my box of carbine specific tools.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but if you want to get the pouch to fit better and to put the mags in, turn the mags around. If you noticed the way there in one side is rounded and the other is squared. It will make the pouch a bit lose to get them in. I don't know if anyone mentioned it but I thought I would.

That castle nut set screw is the biggest pain the ass to get back on. I tried tightening it back on with an Allen wrench, but it just wanted to keep cross-threading on me and the SOB just broke on me. Do I really need that screw if I'm just using the rifle for recreational shooting?
@norwich93CMP24 күн бұрын
The screwdriver tip seems to be best as you can feel the resistance better than an allen wrench in my opinion. When threading screws back in I will align the best I can and turn counterclockwise to hear/feel a click and the screw will fall in a little bit which tells me the threads are aligned before tightening. Great question and hope the info helps.

@@norwich93CMP Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I'll just leave it as it is without the set screw. I really don't feel like paying $3 for a part that probably didn't cost them 3 cents to make.

I have my late father's. All matching and pretty scratched up from many miles banging around in the saddlebag of his old Gold Wing. He was a desert rat and took the firepower he was trained with from his service days as his companion. But, I have it and it's got a great classic feel and shoots well with a new Wolff recoil spring.

Also , the second part. The bolt should close into full battery on. Go gauge. Not close on a No Go gauge. When it wouldn’t close on the NoGo, there seemed to be a problem? I’m confused. Your videos are very helpful! If you could give Some clarification about this one discrepancy.

Should the Carbine's Recoil Plate screw be screwed down tight with no wobble or movement on the Recoil Plate? Or Should it be loose?
@norwich93CMP2 ай бұрын
Good question. Just prior when I reassemble I ensure the screw is about half way out of the recess. Once the action is the stock and hand guard in I will first tighten the barrel band then tighten the recoil screw last. If it is stiff when putting the action in it might split or chip the wood around the tang of the recoil plate.
@roguefive5122 ай бұрын
@@norwich93CMP I took the action off, then unscrewed the Recoil Plate screw until the head of the screw stuck out. I then placed the whole action back onto the stock (with the Hand Guard also in place) then tightened the Barrel Band (not super tight, more like finger tight snug just enough no wobble). Lastly, I screwed down the Recoil Plate screw until it was flush with the Plate. Afterwards I wanted to check if there was any play on the Recoil Plate, so I took the whole action out again and there was some play on the Recoil Plate but i didn't tighten it anymore and left it as is. Is that Okay?

A WORD OF CAUTION - if the rear handguard band is glued in place real tight with old linseed oil, when you re-assemble the handguard onto the rifle, you will bend the handguard and it can snap along the grain. Take a guess how I know that.

I never oil the firing pin. Just a coating to the extractor leg and light coat to the extractor spring. The firing pin is designed to float in the bolt. If oil it then deposits will build up after a while and could prevent the firing pin from moving freely.
