If only I could..... Picked up one that was supposed to be in 'very good' condition. My gunsmith was able to slip 3 .005 shims on top of a shell and close the bolt. and the lugs and facings are badly worn. But its a nice 'hanger'.

Thanks for the info Banshee. I'd heard something like that about 25 years ago, but had forgotten the details.banshee said:the wire wrap was to keep from blowing the hand guards off while launching grenades
