Finally got around to filling the spare parts pouch, shown below are 2 charging handles, 1 bolt, 1 extractor, 1 ejector cover, 1 cartridge guide spring, 1 magazine pawl spring, 1 magazine catch, 1 feed pawl, 1 gear stop, 1 magazine loading tool, 1 pull through cleaning rod and string, 1 broken shell extractor and one spring scale. There a few more odds and ends I might add to this. But it's looking pretty good so far.

Yes this has been in a cellar for at least the past 40 years, I re-discovered it recently when clearing out the cellar covered in dust and cobwebs. Not sure who the person is possibly a relative on my late fathers side of the family1 point
