Re: New owner with questions.
Too late. LOL I just dremelled the inside just enough for the cutoff to fit through. It works perfectly now and it didn't open up the holes on the side of the receiver. I'm a mechanical millwright so I tinker. I used to buy cheap guns with minor problems, fix them and re-sell. This is a keeper thoug...

Re: New owner with questions.
Ha. I saw my foot in there but was hoping nobody else would. LOL Yea I figured somebody drilled the holes for a scope and filled it with a screw. It is threaded. I'm hoping I can get in there with a dremel and get it down close for the cutoff to fit.

Re: New owner with questions.
OK I figured out why the cutoff wouldn't go in. It looks like a factory thing where they drilled 2 holes on the side of the receiver and installed plugs or something in there. You can see on the one pic where the cutoff is hitting one of them.

Re: New owner with questions.
Looks like I was finally able to put a pic up. If you look inside where the bolt slides it looks like there was a hole drilled there. Anyone seen anything like this? I got the cutoff and it won't slide all the way in.

Re: New owner with questions.
Well, I tried multiple ways to add pictures but none worked. Thanks for the info using the long shaft on the cutoff. I want to keep as original as possible. I knew about the different angles for the cutoff. I'm sure mine would fall into the second type that you described. I can guarantee it is a car...

New owner with questions.
Just gonna jump right in on it. Springfield carbine Serial 272XX. It has 1895 on it but assume it's a '96 by the serial number. It's missing the cut off. I seen 2 different lengths. 2 and 2 1/2 inches. Which would mine take? It needs a butt plate. It has 2 holes cut in stock for the cleaning rods. W...
