Hello Gents,

I'm going hunting again for the first time in many many years. I have a short time frame to get a rifle set up with a hunting load. I no longer own any scoped hunting rifles and I...

Does anybody have a pic and/or some info on the original colour and finish of a fiberglass M14 stock. I would actually like to "restore" mine instead of paint bombing it pink marpat. It had epoxy...

Here's the whole story, SDH

oops that wasn't the google search box...

Well I've joined the cult- I now have all the parts to build a semi auto M14 with all USGI parts on a chinese reciever. No comments please, It's as "milsurp" as I can legally make an M14 here in...

Tiriaq, I do understand and am sympathetic to your concerns about the ethics of deactivation. Slippery slopes. I appreciate the info Gentlemen. Jeff

Can anyone describe with some detail what is required to deactivate a firearm? what gets welded, or cut etc? I would imagine it is different for individual weapons, but what is the general principle?...

It has been my experience that there are lots available in eastern Canada. In the last 5 years I only saw one in a gunshop in Edmonton. There were 3 or 4 at the big Calgary show last spring, priced...

Thank you Echo. Much appreciated. Jeff

Thanks Claven, that Hornady manual you mentioned is a tricky bugger to find. I think it's edition no. 5 that has the Garand section, but I can't find it at any retailers. Anybody got it and care to...

Any chance for some pics, Gothmog?

Thanks, everyone. It has been a concern of mine to find a light load that will minimize wear in my 6 Garands. Reloading data for the M1 is all over the map. Just concidering a 150 grain bullet and...

Stevo, 46.5grns IMR 4895 and 155 SMK's is giving me consistent 2.5" 100 yd benched groups in my Breda with the best barrel. Thats an 8 shot group though, and typically 5 of 8 are in a nice 1.5"...

I'd like to hear what loads people have cooked up for their M1's. I'm using 46.5 grains of IMR 4895 with 155 Matchkings and A-max. I've been trying to find a gentle load thats still accurate, 42-46...
