Good ammunition, good magazines and a good time shooting. I 'm sure you enjoyed it!
Used to buy USGI magazines in the wrap for $2-$3 dollars each. I looked at a sealed case of 100 magazines priced at $100.00 at a local gun show. Almost talked myself into it but thought why? I had...
These reproduction stocks have been made by several different makers over the years. I have a very nice older Italian made M1A1 stock that locks up properly.
You can look through this site and...
" D... you! Gimme twenty pushups, breaking formation! "
Speaking to the choir here but for someone just starting out the old adage of two is one and one is none applies. Important in many of life's activities. Just like the aforementioned bifocals.
Not sure where you want to go with this. The picture is an A2 rifle, or an A4 rifle if it has the detachable rear sight handle. Appears to be an A4 to me. It has the correct hand guards for that...
Carbines, ammo, firearms in general, houses, etc. Many things are a sellers market right now. Now is not the time to buy if it isn't necessary. If it is necessary then more then likely you are going...
Brought back memories for me as a young Cub Scout in the late 1950s in Hamilton, Ohio. All the scouts did a paper scrap drive for which we were rewarded with a firearms demonstration at the local...
Don't know the issues you may have had but yes, with the gas lock nut being loose it could affect accuracy.
Both muzzle devices will interchange on the BM59/62 rifles. There is also a shorter 5" compensator you can use also. Just harder to find.
StandardParts LLC has the tricompensators for sale if you...
Don't know what you paid but looks like you got a decent rifle, with matching bolt and receiver. I have had a couple of these in years past and enjoyed them. I did install and fit the recoil blocks...
Recently picked up a rebuilt Inland and found the piston nut not staked and loose. Tighten and staked it. The end. In my early days I removed the nut and piston just because I had to. I don't do that...

Carbines are wonderful pieces of history. I have several and have shot and enjoyed them for many years. Young men also need to learn some of their history. For possible serious issues keep the Ar15...
Those boys are watching over what's important....something to eat!
Had two 46 dated Fazakerley No. 5 rifles, both close to new and very close in serial numbers. Both had the metal cap forearm.
Have a Fazakerley No. 5 rifle, dated 45, that doesn't have the metal...
What I found out was after buying the Forster Field gauge in British .303 that it is set to measure .070 as the maximum allowed headspace for an Enfield rifle. Which is wrong.
The maximum allowed...
I use a .004 shim with a commercial .070 gauge. Peter Laidler mentioned that some time back, and that is what I do now. Made sense to me. I had thrown the supposed .070 max headspace gauge aside when...
I was stationed in West Germany during the middle 70s in the 536 MP Company. In the basement of company headquarters building lived the company tailor, an older Polish Jewish man who had attached...
Pfc. Edward J Foley of the 143rd Infantry, 36th Infantry Division, near Velletri, Italy, May 29, 1944.
Your first post indicating the number "3" and wrapped in the brown wax paper supposedly indicate made in Taiwan and were said to be good thirty round magazines.There was a lot of talk in the CMP...
Have you checked the recoil spring. A good USGI spring should be 10.25" long. 10" or less it is too worn. Worn recoil springs cause numerous feed issues.
Looks like he's about to launch a round. Ready or not.
Not a wood expert either, but looks like birch. Looks like one of mine, an SA marked m2 birch stock with RRA rebuild and square P.
Certainly is out of the ordinary. Looks to be a commercial stock that someone decorated. Not USGI.
