WWII M1 Garand 3 SA Curve Side Op Rod. D35382 3 SA marked and has relief cut MWO. Finish is 80%+/- with normal use wear. Piston is original and rod does have the 3/8 relief cut. Piston specs good at .525+. Tab is very good. A nice looking original op rod. Dash 3 "Curve Side" rods were used from approx Mar '41 thru Oct '42 on WWII M1's(ser# range 197812 thru 1,000,000). Curve Side Op Rods have a distinctive curve on the hump forward of the charging handle, hence curve vs flat side. Lot of folks ask so thought I'ld clarify.
