I wrote up the first rifle in an earlier post, 3 my local gunsmith gave me at a price I could not, but perhaps should have, refused. Somewhere under many years of grime, dirt, rust etc. there was a...

Thanks Jim, spot on, it hit me just as I was driving back from my office, I got one other M60 part in the parts lot and it finally made sense that it might be M60 related. You were right,
here's...

The end with the stamped numbers on that 3rd item will not move and appears to be attached to the main body of the device. The piston or plunger is under strong spring pressure, very hard to depress...

Thanks Chris, would have never gotten the grease gun mag loader. The recoil buffer sounds possible, the spring pressure on the piston is quite high. Good info.
That second one is completely off...

OK, I admit it, I have a problem. An auction disease. It's way beyond ebay, It's the serious stuff, crazy auctions, boxes not labeled but tantalizing...I can't help myself and am in therapy.
Well,...

Good information, the U.S. import is interesting and makes sense. So many stamps on that barrel, they really liked to keep track of their tests and mark everything. I'm in the middle of the second...

Thanks to all for putting up with my photo posting problems and to Doug for getting my account straight, maybe I can get these finished photos up and they will no look like a dulcimer....

One more try

Moderator Edit: Incorrect pics removed at request of poster ...

Photos are not working, at least on my end, will try more later....

Well, that last post was a disaster, photo problems I've not run into before, I'll try again.
If this does not work, I'll just say I went the route of the welded-up receiver/barrel and have a...

So, I thought an update would be good. I appreciate all the help here and decided to see what I could do to turn this into a better Remington.
I started by taking the reciever/barrel to an old...

Thanks to all for the useful and kind comments, I feel like the guy who slipped in the back door trying not to be caught in a place he does not deserve to be. There are so many folks here with real...

Peter, I had the same idea. I took a small rear fore-guard with the wings that break when you
look at them wrong, sacrificed one with a bad receiver end but good wings and grafted it onto
the...

This might be an ideal post for insomniacs, if you can't get to sleep after reading this post, you have a problem. I thought I'd dig as deep into this old 1942 Enfield and see what I could learn and...

Thanks! PM sent.

OK, so Chuck can do the work (barrel replacement, headspace etc.) just need to find
the receiver. Simple, right? I wish. Thanks for everyone's contributions.

email sent, thanks very much Chuck

That's my idea of the perfect fix, I've seen receivers, of course not when you are looking for them, but I think that's the way I'll go. It will repair and potential rust damage- assuming it's...

Of course I feel like an idiot. No one likes to have their mistakes put up there for all to see. It's not a pleasant experience. I did not pay much for this rifle, I knew there was a chance it was...

Glad I gave you guys someone to have a laugh on. I'm happy that all your purchases have
been perfect and that you've never had a problem with anything you bought.
I just feel so good after...

Sorry, will post more info later, football to watch......

Wait a minute....Receiver ground down? I'm not trying to defend this whole issue but I can't buy the receiver being ground, that just...

In the past I've owned some 03's, shot a bunch of them and used that folding sight but not well. It's also pretty hard to miss, this one has the rear sight of an A3 and all features of
an A3, it...

Well, I have an 03/A3 and read the serial number off the rifle, not sure how it could be wrong... I do have lousy eyesight these days but that's big enough to read pretty easily.
I assumed the FJA...
