The rattle you are hearing is probably the hammer block and is perfectly normal.

It is the long piece with the loop at the bottom.

Here is an entire thread about it on another forum.

Thanks for the info Iggy, I'll look into the thread!

K-22 (model 17) & K-38 (model 14)

While taking a break from loading .357 Mag ammo, I shot this pic of my 19-3 and my 1942 SA M1. The 19 is wearing Ahrends Retro Combat grips, and the M1 is (unfortunately) wearing modern, but pretty wood.

One thing about it, S&W has a gun for everyone.

Nice wood on the Garand Grizz, DGR?

Thanks for the gun and photo feedback. I might end up photographing the 19-3s together tonight.

I got the Garand from The Garand Guy. I'm not certain, but I think he uses Boyd's stocks.
