I've got a friend's rifle that has a beat up op rod. I have looked but I can't find anyone that is selling a new forged op rod. LRB says they are out of stock. Any body have a source?

Don't know of a new production oprod right now, but get a usgi one and have the tab reworked by Columbus machine and tool or jywolf, then it might as well be new.

Heard mention bula forge may be working on producing forged oprods but can't confirm.

EDIT: I went to bula defense website, they do have a picture of oprods under products.

Fulton has USGI oprods on their website but they are a little expensive.

You might consider just having it rebuilt.

Just to update: the guy decided to send it back to Springfield for warranty service. Not what I would have done but it is his rifle. I also noticed that there was some defect inside the op rod spring hole. Couldn't see what it was but I couldn't seem to scrape it off with my scriber. I think I would have bought a new op rod from LRB since they came back in stock, tightened up his gas cylinder, and relieved the stock where it was hitting the bottom of the gas cylinder. His other major problem was that the rear hooks on the hammer were stoned too short and the hammer would sometimes drop when the trigger was released. I had a good hammer that I had taken out of my M1 and it worked perfectly in his trigger group, but I put the original back and Springfield can deal with it.

I'd be interested in what S.A. does under warranty and what they say about the trigger. Would appreciate it if you could post a follow up report when all is said and done.

Thanks.

I just ordered a re-tabbed op rod from treelinem14.com.

I can't take her anymore. Just looking at her makes me want to vomit.
