Hi, I was trying to figure out what the parts are on this gun I just bought Bolt-7790186 66118-EE, Trigger Housing-7267030-HR-N, Safety-H, Hammer-5546008-HR-N, Rear sight-BME, Barrel-Winchester 7790190-May-61-12, OP Rod-7267064-HRA. Are these are GI parts? Is their any other parts I missed. I didn't see any other markings.

THANKS

  These just represent successive attempts by Springfield Inc to develop a scope mount that will not shoot loose from their rifle.
  
  1st gen mounts have a single knurled, slotted mounting screw that tends to come loose from recoil; some shooters use Vice-Grips and/or Lock-tite to minimize that, but you really shouldn't have to do that. 2nd gen mounts were their 1st attempt to improve the mount; I can't recall the specific changes. The 3rd gen mount, their current offering, has a second mounting screw & other engineering changes that make it less likely that the mount will come loose from recoil.

  Honestly the only mount I like and tust is the ARMS mount. You remove the stripper guide and it bolts in the side comes over and has three seperate spots that it holds to. When you remove the optics from the mount you can still use your open sights. If you have ever seen the movie Blackhawk Down, the sniper who uses the M1A is using an ARMS mount with an aimpoint scope.
