OK, here's pics of my two carbines. The sick one is a duckbill BUT since it's probably MISSING both the piston extension and piston return spring two bad things happen.
1. It's just a straight pull 30 round bolt action the way it is.
2. Since I CANNOT remove the handguard the piston rod is in the housing where the piston extension SHOULD live.
You can see where I used a ink cartridge to try and put the piston in place, beat on barrel and butt plate, no soap.
Outside of cutting the handguard and piston rod is there another way I can get this sob apart??? The first two pics are from my "good one" that disassembles like it should.
This is proof... if it seems like a good deal from a gunshop at York Gun Show.... it might not be. Little doubt he knew of it's issues and he was probably holding his breath hoping I wouldn't notice.
