The standard weight brought $3500, he is keeping the featherweight. I suspect that the 30-06 helps. There are a lot of really great calibers, my choice would be a .270 a classic. I would have to look...

The Ethiopian carbines bring in a lot more new guys. At the same time these parts and accessories become more scarce every day. I suspect that there is a supply of stuff along with the carbines. Get...
I'm the same way. The average deer rifle has maybe 100 rounds fired through it in its lifetime. Just as good as a new one and not a safe queen. thanks for the help.

A close friend, a plumber turned 80 and is selling some of his stuff. He has a good nose for values. In 1963 he heard from Andy at Cinnabar Rifle shop in Petaluma that Winchester was going to be...
Good point Charlie. A lot of new guys have no idea about the fake wood stamps sets that were sold years ago. Winchester stocks have very deep clean stamps that endure. Beyond that a unique Winchester...
I study the history of the M1 Carbine and the 6M produced and it looked like this: The Ordnance had a winner on its hands. It wanted carbines, a lot of them, so they worked with the various companies...
That's a really nice carbine. Underwood made top quality carbines, their barrels are
outstanding, given a choice, the free issue barrel users would have chosen an Underwood barrel every time. You...
Wayne: Happy Birthday tomorrow.
I think that anyone who removes the piston as a matter of course should obtain a new castle nut. I bought one just in case I needed it. I removed the piston on my...
The issue with Corrosive is not so much the barrel but the piston system. The castle nut is staked at the factory, usually a big stake mark. It is not made to remove and replace. The threads are...
One problem, a chronic problem, is having the OAL a bit too long. It causes the bullet tips to contact the front of the magazine and rubs just enough to cause feeding problems. The shape of the...
Armscor is from the Philippines right? Their other ammo is fine. The bad ammo is coming out of the Serbia area. They have been selling 762x51 that blows up M14s. I personally would not buy or shoot...
I look at that stuff coming out of Ukraine and it makes me sick. Every one of those missiles cost the taxpayers $240,000. And they are shooting off what are supposed to be held for our use. Meanwhile...
Just hand these folks a 1903A3 and a dozen clips of 5. It seems not so bad until about the third clip and then it becomes annoying. At 10 you hate it and are all over the place with the shots.
I...
I looked at it under a loupe and it could be 12-20-56 too. One of the ones pictured is identical.
Getting bad out here Charlie? You bet. It's enough to make a cynical 78 year old grouch even...
I've never liked stock pouches, they make a handy easy to handle carbine into a club. But since we have a serious crime situation in Calif. I put mine on the NPM just because I might need it quickly....
If you go to the website "Rimfire Central" there is a subgroup dedicated to Mossberg. There guys will know anything you need to know.
I bought one just like that marked Mossberg with a scope in .22...
My Dafodills have also popped up. Amazing flowers that women like as much as roses. I've never planted any, they are all just volunteers. The Robins are back too. They used to come every year and eat...
I've always looked at the ejector as part of a system. I've had cases hitting me in the forehead and some flying right. I don't think that the type of ejector will make a major change in the results...
I've been with Kaiser for about 30 years, it used to be the tip of the arrow, best of the best. Now they got rid of all of the American doctors and brought in Chinese and others. My doctor is a...
I talked to and worked with a lot of Army and Marine WW2 vets. I never found one who loved the Carbine as a tool of war, but many who liked carrying it. One relative was an officer in the "Red Ball...
Lightning strikes the same place twice. Calif. is a carbine desert. Good job..
No offense intended but I would imagine that a genuine wartime carbine has a far better chance of surviving than one of the ersatz models. Especially a NPM which Ruth rated the best made carbines.
Looking at the bottom photo of the receiver, you clearly see the line where sandblasting stopped and just finish below that. I think Inland was the only company doing that. Truth be known, I'd take...
Digging into Ruth's book, you see Inland going to Ordnance and getting permission to use rejected barrels that will work. Guaranteed that the bin was down to the bottom. My 5.4 has a 8/44 new barrel...
My 5.4 Inland is an original gun. Type 2 rear sight, type 2 American Swiss band, barrel 8/44
4 rivet HI with matching HI stock, cartouche, late slide, round bolt, all of the correct original issues...
