m53 bolt hold back question

[Embalmer]

Does anyone perform this mod to hold the bolt back for idle range time/cleaning/barrel changes? I saw one thread about itbut no pics of what they did.

Thanks
Matt

Something good to think about. A bolt hold open to prevent cook offs.
Next a bolt hold open device.
Thanks for sharing the thoughts.
Thanks for the pics Tomcat.

Seems simple enough. Anyone sell that or was it fabricated from misc parts? Anyone offer that mod welded to charging handle as a service?

i'm pretty sure that is off of a fal or l1a1---it the part that holds the bolt back after the last round---weled to the chg handle and it catches the end of the ratchet plate
