A friend is looking to obtain data about and buy (if possible) an Australian manufactured "Simplex" reloading press and Dies. Does anyone down there have knowledge about such a press and if so are...
I have had excellent results with several Enfields (plus a Jungle Carbine) using the Sierra 174gr SMK and 43.5grs. of IMR4350, Winchester Primers. Winchester and Norma brass All of the rifles I have...
Guess I'm blessed. I have a UF55 that loves the 174 SMK over a modest charge of IMR4350 and has shot extremely well with that bullet right from the get go. With a Scope mounted it will reliably shoot...
Might cut a chamber specifically for that ammo.
This 7.62 x 51mm IVI brass is available as new and unfired for about $150 per 500. If interested Google "Top Brass" they have it available in 500 and 1000 piece lots.
Dissolve some Pitchers Rosin in Alcohol, and paint the paste on inside of rings. Tighten down and enjoy. To remove compound wipe off with Alcohol dampened rag.
I am unfamiliar with this brass but understand it is of Canadian manufacture. I would appreciate opinions in regard to its quality and longevity in the M1A when used for typical Match loads. Thank...
There are many others on this Forum who are much more knowledgeable than I and can help you with this/these problems but my guess is that you probably need a new Butt stock. These are somewhat...
This either a spoof or just plain nuts, (and besides you will continue to rile up our resident curmudgeon, the infamous head space pro Edward Horton!), please stop!
Been a few originals on "pukebay" last month or so along with some repro scabbards. Pricing for originals seems to be all over with a range I would guess to be $100+ to $250.00. Of course a lot...
Just completed a Rifle essentially as you have described for the same reasons. Not a Collector but a Shooter. Google "Out Post Armory" and get Phone number for Denny. I know that not to long ago he...
I believe this is generally true. Winchester Receivers seem to have some special magic and fewer were manufactured than Springfields which perhaps makes them more interesting.
I am in need of a 1st Class M14 Armorer to tend to my M1A Super Match. I would like to have it "tuned up", new Trigger Group installed and bedded, and possibly a complete Action re-bed along with...
Has no chemical Binders or Accelerators. Check the label on most containers sold in Hardware stores. Food Grade does not contain anything but pure unadulterated Tung Oil.
Probably get flamed for this but I'll be in good company with Capt. Laidler. Yes Virginia, SOME No 5s do exhibit this trait. I have had 3 of these rifles in varying conditions that have had it. My...
The first production M14s were equipped with Wood, (Walnut)? Hand Guards. A switch was then made to vented Fibre Glass Hand guards and finally to un-vented Glass Hand Guards. I know why the change in...
If you use an alcohol based stain like "Chestnut Hill" there is no need to strip stock. Stain. 0000 steel wool to smooth and then Oil. I personally think a Tung Oil finish is superior to Linseed but...
It was pointed out to me that some M14 Op Rods have a hole drilled in the forward end cap and some older ones don't. Can any one inform about what is the purpose of this hole? and, is it desirable?...
I need a number of M14/M1a parts, eg Trigger Group, Op Rod and others. I have checked the "Want to Sell Forum" and looked at a number of on line Vendors and Auctions. I am very concerned about the...
Collectors please help. I have an original WRA stock on my correct WRA M1. The Stock is in over all reasonable condition for its age. It does however have a number of dings, scrapes and gouges, most,...
Gently cleaned off dirt and old finish on stock with Lacquer Thinner. No Cartouches.
Have just acquired an WRA stock with out cartouches or proof stamps of any kind. Stock is original, unsanded and has all of the hallmarks associated with WRA including 3 stamped numbers, (258) under...
Check out "Deans Gun Restorations" They are in TN and on the Web. They usually have some very nice restored M1s, (but certainly not at $600). You would however have a first class and accurate M1.
Has anybody had success, (accuracy), with 06 loads for the M1 using bullets in the 125Gr range? I am at a loss as to what would be a suitable powder with the right pressure curve for the Garand. I'm...
barf!!!
