There are several pictures of American soldiers disembarking at Southampton docks showing rifles stacked. The rifles shown are Krags. However these units were part of Pershings staff so I doubt if...
Like the earlier responder, two of them are in my closet here in Oklahoma. The question has arisen, how many III's were on the Canada? I have heard 700 to 750 but this seems a little high for one...
The asking prices for a Remington made 03-A3 such as yours are all over the place. There is not too many variables that will significantly affect the price and yours looks to have very good wood, it...
Thank you Harpers Ferry, repeat "thank you thank you thank you". I just checked mine and it does have a number on the upper ear of the butt plate. According to your comment that means it is a...
I also wish you the best in your marrage. I've been there 49 years with the same wife. If it hadn't been for her I would probably not made it past 60. And I am certain you will enjoy the Johnson. ...
Well then, it appears I have been stuck with a fake. Oh well I'll shoot it for a while and to prevent some other schlmiel from being stuck with it I'll drop it down an old well on the land I have...
I have a minty Luger with a 6 linch barrel that was called a "navy" when I bought it about 9 years ago. All numbers match including all 3 magazines, stock cleaning equipt. the only problem I have is...
I now have a new question for Smelle. My CANADA Ross (DA188) has the inscriptions on the receiver ring defaced with Ross Rifle, Canada and M-10 scratched like many of the bring back Japanese rifles...
One more question for Smellie. There were some of the territorial regiments at the start of WW1 (or as I prefer to call it Act 1 of the World War)were using the long Lee's (mk 1 star) when they were...
And here I thought the Norwegian Krags were the only military rifle with a left handed thread. It probably makes as much sense to some rifle designers as the positive ground did to the early Alfa...
Thanks for the info on the "E". I have shot mine quite a bit and knew it had the enlarged chamber because the fired cases looked sort of like a double bottleneck. It is one of the battleship Canada...
OK, since I started asking everyone I know about converstion of 45 ACP to .455 auto there does not seem to be any consensus on the subject. Everything from "just down load the 45 ACP and go" which...
When I get it back from a friend, I have a book about the U. S. involment in Russia which I will provide you the name. There were two different groups. The largest U. S. troops were in Vladivostok...
h-*e +borTo smellie, Thanks greatly for this info. I answers some of my questions parti
Thanks smellie, it answers a question or two particularly the M 194. I could not imagine what that was. ...
A real quick check of the safety of the bolt on either the 1905 and the 1910 is to measure the length from the end of the bolt sleeve and the bolt head when the bolt is cocked. If this is noticably...
I have a Ross III that is one of the battleship Canada rifles. When I fire it the case comes out looking as if it has a double bottle neck. Obviously this represents the attempt to avoid the...
I want to thank SMELLIE for a lot of infor mation. I do have a question about loding an 1891 for accuracy. I have not been able to load it with any luck as far as accuracy. It is an early one with...
I have never held it in my lap while watching a war movie but sometimes (like when I am watching a WW2 movie) think "did I really clean that Arisaka 99 after the last time I had it out to the...
Like the note from bobgay, I assume the bayonets have also been sold. If not would you email me at herekittykitty123@nezero.net. Thanks.
Well here it is, a beautiful early fall day and here I am doing nothing productive like working in the yard, painting on the house, working on my TC or similar valuable projects.
I suspect that...
