| Trouble getting op rod off Springfield M1A
I'm having a bear of a time getting the op rod off, the dismount slot is in the rear under the sight and there just is no play to get it off. Any tips? About to break out the pliers.

no pliers, but the gentle use of a flat screwdriver will do it.

Same problem with mine. It requires some pulling and what amounts to almost bending in the exact same manner you would use with an M1. My M1 almost falls off but my M1A is a b******.

One more with a problem child. The op-rod on the M14 I trained with back in '75 would lift right out with a little twist; same with my M1. My M1A, though, sorely tries my patience.

It is feasible to have a competent gunsmith add the notch in the lower rail? If someone has a close up picture of a rifle with both notches, I would like to see what it looks like. | ||
