All I mostly see are 1950's USGI stuff still greased up in the wrap but has anyone here seen WWII USGI stuff still wraped and greased? Love to find a 2SA bolt and a early NOS SA gas cylinder with drawing number on rear ring still in the wrap.

Rare. In the 50's, 60's and into the 70's the Govt. was refurbing a lot of parts. Those are the ones in the brown paper wrappers. Anyway, things like lower bands, followers, etc were inspected, refinished, and packaged for I don't know what reason. Sometimes new parts were added to the mix. Tony Giacobbe has a lot of that stuff. It's fun opening up bags of barrel bands and finding new WRA and early Springfield in with the mix. I think those sources are pretty much drying up though.

I keep nagging Tony to make him set up a "store" over here so we can get first dibs!
I've bought 3 receivers and some parts from Raw Pain. Good stuff!!!!!
