Wolfe Publishing Company, publishers of RIFLE and HANDLOADER magazine produced a paperback book called "Manufacture of the MODEL 1903 SPRINGFIELD Service Rifle". Mine has a 1984 publishing date. It...

Large rifle primers, whether standard or magnum, are taller than large pistol primers. If you are going to use large rifle primers in cases that are made for large pistol primers normally you are...

Thanks, I hope that with this we can figure out what is missing.

The 6.8 uses the standard (.225/5.56) AR lower, so a standard AR lower parts kit will work for a 6.8. Depending on the make/model of .308 AR you build will determine how many of the standard AR...

The Douglas barrel is more than likely one of their "heavy" match barrels. Champions Choice put a 308 on one of my receivers. They are a really nice barrel, however, they are not "USGI" contour. ...

A friend's 48C is missing some parts on the elevation slide. The slide can be moved down by turning the screw, but does not move when the screw is moved upward. There are also no clicks when the...

I have used CCI 400, CCI 450, and WSRs in .30 Carbine with H110 and Win 296. The 450s will work fine with H110 or Win 296, you just need to reduce the charge a little. You shouldn't need 450s with...

I saw the info on pages 473 - 475. I was hoping someone had a Lyman parts breakdown so we could figure out what parts are missing from the sight. Thanks.

Does anyone have a parts diagram or schematic of the Lyman 48C sight that was mounted on the M1922 series rifles? The sight on a friend's M1922 MI has no clicks on the elevation slide. Figured out...

This rifle was not upgraded and is still in it's M1922M1 configuration. It has an "I" instead of a "1" after the M1922M. I am familiar with the fact that most of the M1 variants were converted to...

Hershel,
Thanks for your response. I sent to my ex-brother-in-law. He is the one with the rifle. The rifle was sporterized in the 60's by a German gunsmith. Nice re-blue and era period stock. ...

Anyone have a picture of what an M1922 M1 magazine? I have looked in Brophy and the Batha without luck. Are there any identifiable markings on the magazine? All Brophy comments about is that the...

I saw the 1903A3 and the 1903 barrels when I was at the South store yesterday. Both had the from sight key way present. I didn't look too close, but the same cut seemed to be present on both...

I checked the underside of one of my Plainfield and one of my USGI receivers for any numbers on the front lug that retains the trigger housing. The Plainfield had a "1" but the USGI had no markings....

Is the rear of the receiver marked "INLAND DIV" or is it also blank? Commercial manufactured carbines, such as Plainfield, marked their name on the forward receiver ring not on the rear. On a...

Well unless MILES has changed the only addition I remember to the M16 for MILES usage was a blank adapter that had an integral laser. The laser was activated when you fired a blank. The gear you...

The key to using lead alloy bullets in any cartridge is matching the alloy hardness to the pressure/velocity being created. A high pressure/velocity cartridge such as the .30 Carbine will more that...

That picture was not taken at Tarawa. There were no LVT(A)-1s at Tarawa. There were only LVT-1s and LVT-2s at Tarawa. There is also no seawall in the picture. Tarawa had a seawall on red beach...

The stocks and hand guards would not have been made out of the same piece of wood. The stock blanks would have been cut to optimize the number of finished stocks out of a log. Another blank...

I have used the Nosler 168 Custom Competition in the place of the Sierra Matchkings in my loads and can tell no difference. I think the Noslers are a good alternative to the Sierras.
