My take on the subject.

I guess you just busted up a "Correct" HRA. Pass the Kool-Aid. Until someone shows me an invoice from HRA for the purchase of Wartime and Post-War SA parts and vice-versa I will continue to believe that HRA's came with HRA parts, and SA's with SA parts. My 5.8 was all SA with the exception of the gas plug and the complete trigger group. I switched them out. I just can't convince myself that the rifle was "Correct" in that configuration.
Yes there are known exceptions dealing with receivers.
