Where can I find out about these parts ? I read through a thread where someone offered to ID them if they would post them - I'll look them up or they are: 7267064-2 SA 7790186SA A00021 Another bolt marked 7790186SA F00164 Thanks - |
Not that one though, that's one of the newer ones. Lee's work, 1987 Springfield Armory, Inc. Recall Notice Springfield Armory, Inc. issued a recall of specific bolts and safeties in 1987. Some Springfield Armory, Inc. M1A, M1 Garand and BM59 rifle firing mechanism safeties could be disengaged by pulling on the trigger with a heavier than normal amount of force. These rifles would not fire after the trigger was pulled the first time but would fire after the trigger was released and pulled again with a normal amount of force. After unloading the rifle of all ammunition and pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, the firing mechanism should be tested as follows: 1) cycle the bolt 2) place the safety in the off position 3) place the safety in the on position 4) pull the trigger with more than a normal amount force then release it. Perform this test several times. If there is any forward movement (disengagement) of the safety, the firing mechanism should be removed from the rifle and Springfield Armory, Inc. contacted. The 1987 recall applies to M1A bolts marked as follows: 1) No numerical or alphabetical characteristics on either the top or back of the bolt (completely unmarked) 2) Any bolt with any numerical or alphabetical markings at all on the back of the bolt 3) Any bolt with the top marked 7790185 and with SA RRR centered below that number 4) Any bolt with the top marked 790185 and with SA centered below that number |
