Saginaw S’G’ Receiver Modification

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Please see the photo below. The receiver has been “tapped
and screwed”. Has anyone seen this done to carbine receiver before? Any information
would be appreciated. 

This carbine is a Saginaw S’G’ mixmaster with a serial
number 3,622,xxx. It has a 12/43 dated Underwood barrel which seems OK based on
the data in the carbine spreadsheets.

Headspace is good – bolt closes on a “go” gauge and won’t
close on the “no go”. Checked the barrel to receiver timing with levels and
timing is OK. The bolt and operating slide run true and function smoothly.

It’s a shame someone did that to a nice S’G’ receiver.
