Is this stuff okay to shoot as practice ammo in a Bushmaster DCM? I know you should practice with what you'll use in competition... I was wondering if it would harm the rifle, not overly concerned...

I have some questions concerning the sighting in process of a DCM Ar15 I purchased yesterday. It's a Bushmaster and comes with an instruction sheet for sighting separate from the standard operations...

Thanks for all the info gentlemen. Regardless of whether it made the trip or not, I thinks it's cool to own a rifle that might have seen action in both wars or was at least in service during both...

...thanks for taking my back SN1!!! of course I have no intention of selling, was only interested in an appraisal and passing the info on... guess it's bragging, but that's what proud fathers do!

didn't get much help from a recent post concerning value of CMP correct grades purchased last year.... in the mean time I've had the rifles appraised by a number of dealers, smiths, and collectors......

I purchased two great CMP rifles at the end of '08, HRA & SA, both CG and original to boot, gorgeous; has the value gone up any on these guys? CMP price was $950. Thanks

Someone's telling me the USMC on my Sedgley barrel doesn't stand for US Marine... could that be right?

I have RIA 311,XXX; alleged Marine Corp rebuild, as I'm guessing yours is as well? I've been told Marine rebuilds were done at the Naval Ship Yard, probably where the Marine arsenal is located.

Thanks for all the information and support gentlemen. This is my first '03 purchase, I rarely by on impulse or emotion, but this rifle really jumped out at me. I wanted a WW2 era rifle and with the...

Smith had gauges... old school guy, knows his stuff, one of a dying breed for sure.

My first '03 purchase. Please let me know what you think. Hopefully photos will make it.

should chamber Greek, roger that, taking it to another smith this week and see about squaring away that chamber, maybe just a shave will allow that USGI brass to seat...

Went to a smith this morning he disassembled the bolt, played with the extractor, used commercial ammo and the round seated snugly. The extractor was not allowing the base of the case to sit...

Lance, no rounds feed at all, if I single feed and push the round into the chamber with my finger, it only goes so far and then gets stuck, have to back it out with a cleaning rod... tried a 30'06...

Jim K and Para, thanks for the info and quick response...Short chambering, roger that, I'll pass that on to the smith tomorrow... still not clear as to why they wouldn't have caught that when the...

thanks for the response Airborne... just spoke to the guy who sold it to me, he's surprised I'm having problems and is willing to refund if a smith can't rectify... claims he had rifle for twenty...

Thanks, picked the gun up at a show... took it to a local shop, tried another 30'06 brand with same result, everyone puzzled... taking it to a smith tomorrow
