Don't limit yourself, most post 2k parts will fit also.

The only difference will be the velocity adjuster, which went from a sleeve held in by the beaver tail screw to a threaded cap in '98. If the body isn't tapped for the IVG, you can either have it tapped, or get a Rex kit. Be aware of the fact that Rex kits use shorter hammer springs because the adjuster takes up some of the room on the lower tube.

The hammer, valve, jam nut, cocking rod (unless it has circa 96 1" thick at the bottom back block) from any year for a standard body will fit.

The valve springs are a bit odd, since in 98, they made the valve chamber deeper, requiring a longer valve spring. Before 98, they used Nelson valve springs.

In short, other than the velocity adjuster, just about any lower tube component will fit.

What year body is it, anyway?
