With the X-die you can adjust the amount of bump to fit your chamber. I use them in .30-06 & .223 Rem. Read and understand the directions with the die. Use the case gage and your rifle to check...

I believe that all the .308 insert bbl.s were stamped with the modification, but always something to look for if it has issues in the shoulder area.

Best to try cleaning up with the bbl. on,...

proper authorization to do so. The Army or any military branch can't just sell or give or loan any weapons/firearms to civilians without an act of Congress.
It could be a single shot! The military...

The purpose of the 1934 National Firearms Act was to regulate what were considered "gangster weapons" such as machine guns and hand grenades. Then U.S. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings recognized...

In 1968, with the passage of the Gun Control Act, the agency changed its name again, this time to the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division of the IRS and first began to be referred to by the...

Try some routines of cleaning and then shooting a few rounds for a bore that has some issues. You will not know how bad a barrel is until you shoot it. Nicks on the crown/muzzle are bad along with...

My guess is that during an inspection/greasing party, the Greeks mixed parts on these new rifles. Remember, basically parts are parts. They were storing them, did not care about future collectors,...

Nothing will tell if it is a Greek return in "as new" condition. Many late SA and HRA just sat in rifle crates somewhere in Greece. All the Greeks did was fill them with grease and store them in...

Does anyone have an answer as to why it was done...documented, not what some might think it was for? There has to be a documented answer???

The question of a notch at the rear of the recvr. bbl. ring just above the mag well has come up. No one has a documented answer. They seem to have been milled, a half moon notch, some into the "M"...

There would not be a need to build military use semi-auto version. All you have to do is remove selector mech. and you have semi-auto. I believe the NM models were made for civilian use in...

The stock fit can also contribute to the whole TH mess. Any binding on the sides or a lock up on the stock that cants the TH can cause doubling. Parts swapping is easiest if you have parts to do...

Thanks Bolo

Checked Ray-Vin, they only have taller fronts in std. width, .050.

Looking for one .062 or slightly larger. Old eyes getting older, have trouble with the thin blade.

Thanks,...

Does anyone know where I can obtain a thicker tgt. type front sight blade for an 03A3?

TIA for any assistance,

Just to be clear you need the rifle field striped. The bolt should be striped. The bolt face and chamber is clean and dry. You put the striped bolt in the recvr., insert the gage in the...

Experimental crinkle finish from Rust Island Armory?????????????

weighing the pulled bullets and sorting would help also. The weights of the bullets and cases vary so much. The powder charge can be an issue with the re-packed cans.

You could have who knows...

Those are really rare EIGHT digit rifles? Whats up with the extra 4????

I believe your stock may be correct. GAW's went into the 3.6 range if I remember correctly? I think they found a batch of 3.6s at the CMP that all had GAW marked stocks. Hopefully an expert will...

Gus,

I am very glad to see you here on the new site. I have learned so much from your posts and knowledge about the Garand. Thanks for sharing and helping others with their GARAND issues!

What I have heard about some IHC heels is that they had forging issues. Around the top edge there can be places that are rough from original forging. I believe that this just applies to IHC made...

Your 52D will probably do that at 100 yds., but you will need a scope, ammo that it likes and calm winds. Nice looking 52 D, they are some real shooters!

Match chambers are tight. All rounds chambered should engage the rifling. Extracting an unfired cartridge should be very difficult, sometimes having to use a rod to push it out.

Headspace...

Nice std. bbl. 40X, I like it! Do you shoot any competition with it?

Mark

I like to let the bolt ride over the top round and let the bolt close on an empty chamber. Then all I do is pull the op-rod to the rear and chamber a round. This also shows that the en-bloc is in...
