    Their safeties were unmarked. Now if you have the earlier production run M1A1 with serials numbers between 70,000-950,000 than you need the checkered safety with the beveled end, or a plain end unmarked, either one is correct. If you have a later production run M1A1 with serial numbers between 5 million and 6.25 million than you need the plain end unmarked push button safety. If you have a rotary safety than it was refurbished and not correct for your carbine. Only 140,000 M1A1's were built so I assume they were built within those serial number ranges.

    good luck with your rebuild, Thor
