I've had a Scout Squad for a while now and have just gotten around to doing a field strip for cleaning and lubrication.
Now I've stripped down Garands and M1As before so I know the procedure. But on this one the lug on the op rod will not engage the disassembly notch on the receiver. I can sometimes feel the two "mating" but the rod just will not engage enough to lift away from the receiver. The lug on my op rod appears to be a square while the notch seems to sloped sides, as if to guide the lug in.
Has anyone ever experienced such a problem?
