This is a trigger group that came with a mail order CMP SG. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Thanks
Justin

Seen lots of WRA housings like that from rough milling.Is it lower than the rest of the metal?My guess would be bad forging that was still deemed usable.

The high spots are flush with the rest of the housing. you can run your fingernail across it and catch the ridges...

Looks line someone took an angle grinder to it!

I think I'm going to repark it, should even it out a little bit..

Some earlier SA parts are ever bit as roughly machined as WRA parts

Justin, Here is my 8-SA with the swirl. It is not as rough as yours.

Any heresy, if I repark it? I don't know what Garand parts are worth more than any others...

Nope, go ahead and get it reparked. It's not a rare part.

Didn't think so. Thank you sir.

Definitely a [bad] milling job and nothing to do with the forging itself.

Ha, I had a Fly-cutter bit slip in a bridgeport once, did not tighten it enough..It cut grooooves like that in a pump part..I had to tighten it and run it again, before Quality contol caught me, I know that one needed double gaskets to seal up..But i was sweating bullets, because i did not like mistakes and neither did they??It seems i might have a trigger housing like this one too, somewhere around here.??

Musket Jon, are you currently a machinist? I did like working in a Mach. shop, but on production, your mind can slip and it got boring, Esp if it involved 5,000 pieces and you could see the pallet loads..

I don't miss being in production, but it was nice to have some machinery to work on projects... Current job keeps me moving around the area..

It's nice to be able to do the occasional "G Job" when life calls for it. Out of the 40-some rifles I own there are only a couple that I've never laid hands on.
