Powder Valley has primers at better prices than most places.
Maybe. It's at least as likely that it was intended to disguise the origin, to keep someone from knowing that the Chinese were supplying ammo to insurgents.
This specific conversion is one of the few that makes sense, sort of, in a late '40s context.
Most shooters wouldn't have known that the .257 Roberts is made from the 7x57. By running a .257...
Front sight looks like a Redfield Olympic.
If it is, click here.
The Kimbers were being phased in as the EPA started closing down indoor ranges all over the country. The Army now uses pellet rifles for JROTC so the high schools don't have to build an EPA/OSHA...
If you'd picked up a case of Aguila GE at the same time, it would fit neatly into that SAW can you're using as a prop.
Dunno about the history, but there are three or four in varying states at the A.W. Peterson Gun Shop in Mount Dora, FL. One even has a rear sight.
Have never seen one of these. Got a link or a photo?
The Havlin scope mount does not fit to the holes for the rear sight. Only a few of the CMP 44 US rifles are drilled for the scope mount.
Sgt. Schultz carried a Krag! :madsmile:
That would probably work with .300 Savage, .308, etc. The cartridges headspace on the extractor. I've even heard of a .45 ACP round being fired in an '06 this way.
I thought the base dimension...
Limited production item, IIRC. Had a burst of popularity with CAS shooters.
I bought an adjustable sight model in 1984 or so when they first came out and inherited a couple of the "Baby Vaqueros"...
Don't know the metric designation of the .303 British round.
The 7.7 Arisaka service rifle round is the 7.7x58, IIRC, and is rimless.
See no way for these to interchange. Only common element...
Could have been a personally owned weapon. Not sure where you'd get ammo, but it's a possibility.
The great foolishness was no more apparent than in the '60s when troops assigned to SE Asia had to have special different uniforms issued, which were prohibited for wear back in the CONUS.
I was...
I'll work on that. Do you just want the German-unique markings?
I hate to say "never", but it seems unlikely. Came from a step-uncle's estate. I was relieved to see that no one had cut the...
ETA: Backstrap is stamped GRP, presumably for German Railway Police. The Augsburg marking is engraved on the left side of the frame.[/SIZE]

I have a .38-200 (the British Victory Model) in .38 S&W, 5" barrel, that is marked Railway Police Augsburg. U.S. markings otherwise.

A more basic question: Why were major modifications of the M-1 rifle designated with a letter (M1C, M1D, etc.), but major modifications to the M-1 Carbine were designated by a letter and number...
This may be a matter of state law being more restrictive than Federal.
Click here for ATF's position on this.
It says, in part, "The above parts consisting of an M2 selector lever, selector lever spring, disconnector lever assembly, M2 disconnector, disconnector...
Interesting. The ATF classifies the M-2 hammer as part of an M-2 kit, but Plainfield shipped commercial M-1s with M-2 hammers installed. I bought one used in 1974. The space occupied by the...
