Is that a block for .308?

There is no op-rod?

the op rod is there....

Part of your bolt assembly is laying in the front of the chamber. It looks to me like more than just the extractor too. Like the bolt sheared off.

Gentlemen,
Nice try but sorry to say that your not there yet. It is my evil brain working. You must unite and bring your knowledge against ME. HAHA
Thanks for your comebacks. Have fun with this one.
Thanks again

A chunk of something lying in the breech area obscuring part of the oprod catch arm -- piece of the bullet guide? It's at an odd angle, like it had broken off and jammed itself into the receiver. Doesn't seem to be interfering with the catch itself and the clip is ejecting...

Piece of bubble gum droppped into the receiver...

I give up...

It's a piece of someone's thumb that ultimately made it into a customer's bowl of chili at Wendy's.

There are several discrepancies in the photos from a typical M1:

1) The receiver is more blocky. The front of the receiver (towards the barrel) seems to be more square rather than rounded off.
2) The left wall of the receiver on the M1 is milled to a step, this one is straight.
3) Just behind the chamber, there seems to be a flat piece, maybe a piece of an early ejection mechanism?

The following two may be due to video perspective:

From the above, I have two guesses:

1) Early prototype of the M1 as we know it
2) Post M1 prototype of a 50BMG version of the M1

Are we going to find out the story about these pictures, or what?
Don't leave us hanging!

I agree with these three. I think it's an early M1 proto in .276 with the ten-round en bloc.

The bolt didn't lock back

Gentlemen,
Sorry about no answer on this post. Answer on the way.
Just wanted to get an interest between you and the new guys.
Here's the answer quick and dirty. After first pic I drop a few frames so what you are seeing is one more round under the case coming out in the first pic. Then I picked up with the last round and the clip coming out. BTW that's part of what was holding up the answer I was trying to cut it down for you guys to SEE the whole Clip. It is all in slow MO I don't think I can post the clip(sorry about that) because it is pretty big. I also stated let's have some fun with this one. I was sure that someone would have pick it up.
Thanks again
Clancy
