D2 markings on a 2A1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a 1966 2A1 that has D2 marked on the bolt head of the matching bolt, but the lockup is a tiny bit tight, so I was looking around for another bolt head and an online parts dealer has some that they say are all marked DP for Drill Purpose Service.
What does that mean?

	Drill Purposes ONLY Basically condemned as unfit for firing & maybe downgraded n some arcane way
