I bought a Blue Sky SA Garand, had it for about a week. Then, with a good, used SA barrel, correct for production-date, it became a USGI SA Garand. If your only concern is the import stamp, change...

I carried a TRW in the First Southest-Asian Wargames and it was SA-only. No Happy-switch. I traded a guy DEROSing the M16 I was issued for it. I just traded another new guy when I DEROSed and turned...
Bodyman, I believe I bought one of the HRAs you guys spoke of and handled. It's a 5.66 mill I bought from another CMP member about four months back. When I received it it had a SA Stockset on it....
I just bought a 39A and it has a nice Simmons Deerfield 4x32 WV scope, problem is, it's sitting on an old set of Holden Ironsighters. They're like the Weavers, with the extra hole so you can use the...
Yeah Mark, a couple of 5.8mill SAs, posted about it on the CMP forum. Lucky guy, last consecs they auctioned on the CMP went for a little over $4,000.00.
I remember that last few years I was in the Air Guard before I retired, they were slowly offering Surplus weapons to Guardsmen at low prices. I got a S&W Victory Model for $50.00. Don't remember any...
Steve, they don't become parts-kits til somebody buys them!!!
There ya go Mike, the majority of them were pretty bad but, they did turn out a few good ones. I was checking over my records after Rick's post and one I scrapped out had a almost-new SA-NM barrel on...
Boy! The ATFE would have a field-day with that thing!!!
If any of you Gentlemen are members of Battlerifles on the EOTAC forum that recently changed domains and can login, would you be so kind as to ask Fernando if he would send me a Temp.Password so I...
If done properly, Gorilla-Glua, although it does expand, make the best repair.
1.) lightly clean both sides to be glued.
2.) Apply the Gorilla--Glue to the inside outline of both parts, slightly...
If you're not interested point him at me. Underwoods are some of the better, more accurate carbines out there. I own one. Here's what an Underwood barrel can do.

Rick, nobody said they were all good receivers. AAMOF any of them with a SN under 2000 was/should be highly suspect. According to CAI( I did some lengthy research on this five years back) they had a...
Other than a report from I believe, Fulton Armory on one(Which BTW, mentions no problems with out od spec receiver, headspace, or other dangerous conditions) you won't find anything but second, third...
Can't remember, I do remember the picture was obviously taken in a shelter or bunker and the cans of M1s(one was opened to show contents) had the Civil-Defense Emblem painted on two sides. the author...
Did any of you guys notice the Drawing number on the receiver leg?? It's a WIN-13 receiver!!! That puts it in the right time-frame for the story, 1945.
They also stored them like that in certain Bomb Shelters in the 50-60s, usually in big Cities. Removed them all by the early 70s.
That's a CAI receiver, Centery Arms International. If it has a VAR barrel(Danish), the barrel is worth more than the receiver. they were made in St.Albans, Vt.
I've got a 2.8 Underwood with, believe it or not, a slight ring 1-1/2" back from the muzzle. Can't tell it from the outside though. Anyway, It'll do a five-shot 3/4" group from a bench at 50 yards...
Um...yes it was. Jaws with Roy Schieder
Gus(Fisher) explained this to me once. He stated that a barrel with a high TE(Above 5) would initially hold black but, as the barrel heated up(usually about twenty rounds or so) accuracy would drop...
I'm going sunday, gotta work tomorrow.
Very accurate, little warm(Clocks around 2800fps in my rifles). I still got three cases of it.
you can tell it's a movie, every Korean Garand I've seen is beat to hell! That one looks new!
Hmmmm. Odd! Usually I reach for a 7.62x51 when a 30-06 is too much...
