History SAVED!
Thank you for hard work preserving such a beautiful piece of wood.
Just a thought; Here's a pic of my Automag III in action. I carry this with me while hunting with my I.B.M. carbine. So far I have tried it out with LC, Aguila, and Hornady C.D. with no problems.

Because this is my first motorcycle!
Because this was the first time I was asked to join an organized ride!
Because I live so close!
Because I am a U.S. Military Vet!
& Because it was “Memorial...
I don't want sand in my shotgun!
Oh come on. . . how can you ignore someone who says “Chicago Typewriter” ?
This is going to be my last AR build (more $$$ than sense). It is a tribute to Eugene Stoner & Benjamin Tyler Henry, I will call it a “Stoner Yellow Boy”.
It started out as a M16A1 parts kit with,...
I think I have found my medium for all my “Color Fill” needs. My daughter bought this for herself, but found she could only get one hand done right, and didn’t like them as plain nail polish, so she...
Avi7272,
Welcome to the forum and the sickness that is M1 carbine collecting. You will find these wonderful old weapons are like potato chips, you can't have just one! Do not be afraid of taking...
Jeff,
Here are a couple good links to help out with your marking identification.

laptopps,
welcome to the addiction known as "Carbine-itus”. These guns are like "Lays potato chips” you can’t only have one! As a first specimen you have done VERY WELL, and at an OUTSTANDING price....
A moment of reflection on what our “Greatest Generation” accomplished for us, and how it seems “WE” have let them down.
“Those who refuse to learn from history are destined to repeat it!”
I need a ruling on this before I take it out to the range. Does my new rifle fit in category #4? It at one time was a “Full Auto” milsurp, converted (neutered) to “Semi Auto”. It stays the same...
Here is some history that started my collection of military surplus weapons; the M1 carbine with the 36th ID badge was my first. I was named after an uncle that was KIA 1/2/45 in France. My mother...
Local gun show over Father’s Day weekend. I figured this would be a great time to clean out the gun room, and acquire some extra gun $$$. I was right! I sold everything I had brought with me,...
Go to your nearest LEO, and turn yourself in for "Grand Theft Milsurp Rifle"! You stole that from the pawn shop and need to pay for your deed. You can send that rifle to anyone on this forum as...
Just a F Y I !
McKay has more of the 20 inch 1in7 pencil barrels in stock, ONLY $199.
M16 A1 Replacement Barrel - AR15/M16
Is this sacrilegious? I just finished my FIRST AR build. I was going to buy one pre-built close to the way I wanted it. In fact I ordered and pre-paid for it, with the knowledge of suspected 90...
The Chantilly show has gone SO FAR DOWN HILL in the last couple years, I will not go anymore. They have become OVERPRICED and UNDERSTOCKED. More jewelry, toys, and food, than guns.
Save your time...
I think next year I will mount a Browning M1919a4 semi-auto (converted to .308) in my tree stand. Add a "Crank Fire" and keep a 250 round belt attached, and at the ready. No mater how many deer RUN...

Picked up one of these a while ago at a local gun show. It looked so ugly but fit so nice in my hand I had to get it. First trip to the range was all it took to know it was a keeper! POI = POA at...
HoH,
That does look strange (bordering on obscene). If I had one like that I would be TEMPTED to pay for the stamp and go ahead and SBR it. You can always temporarily use the LONG barrel on a SBR...
I didn't know they were selling the semi's without the compensator. That must look kind of goofy.
As far as the trigger pull goes, it is a "WORK OUT" to say the least. I haven't measured it, not...
