Hey Carl,
I have 2 that I will sell. I have a nice figured early one that’s not for sale now.
Mike has already spoken for the refinished one, but no money has been discussed. They both have buttplates that are probably numbered to the stock.
Send me your email

Re: Barrel jacket off center
Sir, Be sure to look at the juncture between the barrel jacket extension and the barrel jacket. If it’s been repaired incorrectly, that may be your problem. Look for signs of welding/ braising, or soldering. This was sometimes done by people who didn’t know what else to do.
Thanks for your time

I’ve purchased M8s with the mag spring installed backwards before. But I’ve never had one break before. There are always first times for everything though.
Usually they just fail to load/ eject correctly. You can look that tidbit up in Henwoods book.
