Good looking rifle. Good looking group.
Just ran by the shop. Prices quoted are wrong. Correct prices are $425 for either rifle. Each has front sight hood.
Local gunshop. $400 w/ sling for one. $375 for other. First is virtually perfect. Second is maybe 95-97%. One magazine each. Ben wanting a .22 LR 1922 Springfield. Can't afford. These rifles...
Absolutely excellent! Sincerely. BruceV.
If seeing the front sight is difficult try using a pair of reading glasses. Go to a drug store, etc., that sells reading glasses and pick a pair that will allow you to clearly see your front sight. ...
Cool! Given the temperature in which you were firing, maybe I should say, "Way cool! I will restrain my Monday Morning impulse to offer coffee cup advice on zeroing/firing your rifle. From what...
SB makes good ammunition. Good luck with the rehabilitation of your shoulder. And hopefully your wife will not find and read your post! Sincerely. BruceV.
I have hunted eastern whitetailed deer for over 30 years. I have killed them at any distance from hard off the muzzle to across a peanut patch. I have had to shoot a few more than once. With care...
The M-1917 has a well deserved reputation for strength and accuracy. Some had problems when new barrels were installed during rebuild. Yours obviously did not. Enjoy shooting it. You have a fine...
I saw this movie a month or so ago on AMC... classic film noir! Sincerely. brucev.
Your work in restoring this P-14 is commendable. I will look forward to your range report. Further pictures of the receiver, etc., would be appreciated. Sincerely. BruceV.
LOL, That's no shotgun! It's an M-1 rifle! Cool! Sincerely. BruceV.
AFAIK, it is not a Civil War era weapon. It is not anything I recognize as of U.S. issue. Other's will likely have more information to offer. Welcome to MILSURPS! There are lots of good people...
Man the CMP really sent you a nice SG! Judging from your excellent pictures, there's nothing about that rifle not to like. It should not be so difficult for you to change out the few parts needed...
I don't have any experience w/ anything but 180 gr. loads in the .40 S&W. But what I have found is that it shoots to the factory sights, it is very accurate in my Glock 22 and absolutely superior to...
Your pictures of the ETO and PTO in WWII are uniformly excellent. This example is of that quality. Thank you. Sincerely. BruceV.
I have used various calibers of Boresnake in a variety of rifles. It is fine for a quick wipe of the barrel. It will not suffice for a serious cleaning of the bore. I keep one handy when at the...
With respect, the first time I ever turned on our new computer, the very first place I went was CMP... then CSP. I have since "broadened" my focus. I am very thankful for the kindness shown by this...
"The load selected for this contract is a 135-grain, hollow point designed for the office of Field Operations of Customs and Border Protection. It will fall under the Winchester® Ranger® line of...
It looks like his circumstances are such that having his sling on backwards is not of great concern. The loose grenade would need to be policed up. But then, maybe he just put it where he could...
Excellent! Thank you for your service. Sincerely. BruceV.
Good Lord God help me... I'm thinking! And as my wife would tell you, when I'm thinking, everyone needs to run for cover. The ammo I've got on hand is 180 gr. FMJ which I assume is loaded to full...
Using a 95 yr. old rifle w/ less than high quality ammo firing from a standing position in gusting wind after a 20 year layoff from shooting, 20 rds. into a composite group of 7 inches from a rifle...
Let me see... is it possibly "Le Big Mac?" Sincerely. Brucev.
