Got a plastic container of parts, tried to get pics of the markings.  There are more parts, probably enough to build a trigger group at least, along with other gas cylinders and a barrel.  Just sharing and looking for any info.

I bet that IHC trigger housing would get some interest if being sold alone or assembled.

Nice assortment.  

Just a FYI from a 1953 Ord TM.

DM marked hammer is Dennison Machine 1968-70 M14 hammer.  Still works in the M1.

I see the part, but don’t understand what you mean by “gas trap”?

The first production Garands were “gas trap” cylinders.  They were found inadequate and quickly upgraded to ported clyinders.  Early parts are desirable for those that want to return an early rifle to that configuration.

So based on the type of part it means it was used on one of the gas trap type guns? Since it is way back in the trigger, not sure how they could tell, other than part numbers, I guess.

I still need to get around to actually going through all of them.  Too much busy life.

You could sell that ‘O-16’ bolt to a M1 bolt collector as a non-shooting part (i.e., historical interest only).

Or a drill rifle/dedicated wall hanger.
The only hyphenated names I like are cartridge names......30-06, 30-40, 38-55 etc.
