GARAND GUYS... Help to identfy my op-rod

[Joe Amorosi]

Bought a Garand from Vulcan Gun 5 or 6 years ago. Beautiful rifle in a Boyd's stock, functions flawlessly but, I can't identify the op-rod that's in it.

From the limited info I can find on-line. it is:
Curved Face
Slant Cut at handle
NO relief cut (uncut op-rod)
And absolutely NO markings on it whatsoever (no part #) This is what I can find no info about

Who made this op-rod?
Is it collectable?

Any input greatly apprecated

Send the question back to Nick at Vulcan.

There are US Garand collecting forums where someone will have any answer before you can stop typing.

My Guess Breda or Beretta
They didn't mark all of them

Italian op-rods are all flat faced and straight cut. They also all have the relief radius cut where my is un cut

I've never seen an op rod that wasn't marked with a drawing number, and I've seen a lot of them. Parts were subject to multiple inspections/gauging during manufacture, but there is an ouitside chance that some may have gotten through without markings.

Slant cut with curved outside I believe was early Winchester production.
