Please, SNAFU, where did you get that target? Thanks, BK
Poor ol' Pusher.
The front sight of my Remington M1917 is loose enough for me to move it with my fingertips. There is a staking mark at the center front of the sight base but before I try to tighten the blade by...
Beautiful, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. BK
My cousin lived in Pasadena, not too far from San Fernando, so the pieces of this story are falling into place. Thanks.
Nope, Goo, those are completely different animals, but really cool ones nevertheless. The ones I saw were standard appearing 7.62mm M1s with 20 round box magazines. Back then I didn't know enough...
Thanks Griff! I didn't know enough in 1970 the to look for "Beretta" stampings. In fact, I had never handled a real M1. I just remember that it shot very well and that box mag was a real plus. ...
About 40 years ago, I was introduced to a rifle my cousin called the "M-eleven." He owned two of them, each a 20 round magazine-fed M1 chambered for 7.62mm NATO. I remember shooting one along with...
Either the U.S.S. Tennessee or U.S.S. California! I can't see a number. BK
It's a fake. It doesn't even qualify as one of the second generation cars made up of frames, parts, and original aluminum body panels left over in CS's garage for 35+ years. At least a few cars...
May I suggest Chuck Moline (Chuck in Denver as he is know in this forum). He's restored two A1s for me but the piece de la resistance was my buddy's 1915 Colt. Chuck stripped off the nickle finish...
Go to sturdysafe.com and check out the website. Be sure to look at the pics of the house that burned down because fire protection is really important. They are built like battleships but priced...
...about whom I was thinking. Daly was twice awarded the CMoH, and died of old age at home in NY. B
Jim, did we conclude that Daniel Hunter died of old age during the mid 1930s and is buried in NY? BK
Ammo mania! Got there at the opening bell, waited 10 minutes in line to get in, and found the ammunition tables crowded at least four persons deep. Most service rifles and Govt Model 45s were junk....
Bill, I simply used a spare M1903 blade, and it has worked fine. BK
Xavier Thoughts: The Colt Sistema
Here's a starting point for your research. I have a more definative reference somewhere but I can't remember what I ate for dinner let alone find that site....
You guys are a treasure trove of information. Thanks for the info and your service! B
Charles MacDonald mentioned in "The Battle of the Huertgen Forest" that the Germans did indeed suffer terrible casualties but were obtusely pleased with the knowledge that we would squander so many...
Here in Fresno, CA, every FFA I've spoken to charges at least 100 bucks plus 10% of the sales value of the firearm to do the transfer. That's reason enough to keep one's nose clean and have a C & R....
The very first M1 I bought is the same one shown above (pic#87). At 50 yds, it shot 18 inches to the right. I wonder why? B
Rick, I expected to see your cats sitting on the afgan! B
Pat, I submitted my application in Jan. '08, and vaguely remember that question. I, an individual not associated with any company, simply answered "None" and that was the end of it. I had the...
Loy, you're by far a better shot than I. I use the back of a wooden patio chair or sometimes a saw horse as a rest. At best I get 4 of 5 holes in a penny grouping, but offhand is another challenge...
