Thanks, everyone. I didn't get the notification and realize ya'll had replied.

My rifle releases EXACTLY at the bottom edge of the notch. I guess the "must not release" on that side of the notch...

Hi All,

I've searched the web and the forum archives and haven't been able to find any technical data on exactly how to properly use the timing block for the M1 Garand.

I bought a homemade...

Both cases are brass and are dented up a bit. The projectiles are magnetic, but nothing else is.

The bottom of the primer pocket is solid- but I promise you that there's something heavy and...

I picked up a couple of dummy practice rounds for the M1 Garand the other day. The shinier of the two has got a headstamp of FA 53 and the other is stamped FA 56.

There seems to be a solid plug...

Wow- I go away for a bit and my thread takes off! Glad you picked up the Thompson!

Browsing the M1 Garand listings on eBay and ran across this. I guess the auction police haven't found it and pulled it yet.

Supposedly a live pick-up M2 Ball round recovered from Omaha Beach:

I bought the repo sling from CTD. (and yes, I've got it turned around the right way now!)

Picked up an M1942 bayonet at the gun show a few weeks back. It's a cut-down 1943 American Fork & Hoe, also stamped AFH for the modification.

I always told myself I wanted an M1 bayonet and not a...

That's great. I have no idea what the U.S. policy was on weaponry issued to troops after they were discharged. I don't know if they even had the opportunity to keep their service weapon, or if they...

Hi Frank- thanks for the info. Based on the other photos in his (5) photo albums (he had a photo finishers license and made pics on the side as a hobby)- I think it's in Hawaii. (I could certainly...

I got it from the Prop Store of London. Apparently, they have an office in L.A., too.

They are still for sale there, since they have multiple copies of each. The...

About a month ago I picked up a rubber stunt prop of an M1 Carbine used in the filming of HBO's 'The Pacific'. I don't actually have HBO, so I haven't seen any eps. other than the first one they...

1954, eh? That means my rifle could be in that picture...

Yep- happy, happy, happy! :lol:

I'm very pleased to have gotten a Greek return with both the USGI park and a walnut stock.

My (5) M1 books and various tools and goodies arrived in the mail from Fulton Armory yesterday. Can't...

Thanks- it's been raining here for two days, so my outside photos are going to have to wait for a sunny day.

Looking forward to having some time to clean 'er up and take some more photos.

I posted this in another thread- but I'll put it here, since this is where my rifle pics are already posted:

Is this what is considered the...

Has my Greek return got what's considered the "black" parkerizing?

It doesn't appear especially black (as in the photos posted above)- and it doesn't appear especially greeen, either.

I'm just glad he stopped carving- his name was probably Papadopoulos! (grin)

Popped the stock off - the op rod is also an Harrington & Richardson part and is numbered 6535382 HRA

Good to know! (grin) Keep the advice coming!

Hi everyone- just joined the forum today and have spent hours going through all the past postings. Great to find y'all!

Well, I had planned to buy an M1 Carbine in May, since one of my two...

Hi- I just got a 5.4 Garand last weekend. It appears to be in incredibly clean shape.

Mine was on consignment at my local gun shop, I didn't get it from the CMP. It appears to be a Greek...
