the recuperator

.. doing good this week; sold a complete bolt & another collector got a recuperator. always questions & phone calls about them. some early G41 "W" rifles have a small finishing nail ( red arrow in stock channel) installed to hold the recuperator in. sometimes this gets missed or bent; & makes getting the recuperator out or in tight. or it goes back in crooked... a small thing, but it is the little stuff that can drive you nuts. ... ;.. and also, make sure it is installed correctly and op-rod is right ( red arrow). more than once i have picked up a rifle at a show & when you open the bolt, the op-rod slides back into the magazine,... good luck........... t

Hey T,

Just picked up an early G41 AC that didn't come with a recuperator. Funny you posted this. :laugh: I need to look inside the stock next time to see if there's that "nail" style key cutout!
