I have a Model 98 I acquired in about 2000. It is a capture rifle as all German Markings have been removed including manufacturer code and year of Manuf. It has a crest on the top of the receiver and...
I have a similar HRA with an SA bolt.
RRAD is the Red River Army Depot. You have a rifle rebuilt there in 1965. It is probably a Service Grade. I got one rebuilt at RRAD and it has a Winchester Receiver and SA barrel dated 1947. Its...

Great video. Now I have to convince my wife we have to take a trip to visit this. My dad was 2nd Armored and spent lots of time in a Sherman from 1942 until the end of the war. He was in Africa,...
Back in the late 1990s, I sent my 1st M1 to Mel Bishop (remember him) to install a VAR barrel I had purchased online. The barrel it came with was shot out big time. While Mel had it, I asked him to...
I've bought some of their 9mm from time to time. It functioned OK but did have a couple of misfires. Decent if you want something pretty cheap just for plinking.
I purchased a VAR barrel back in the late 1990s to put on a WWII Springfield receiver. At the same time I purchased a Tiger stripped stock and also installed. Came out with a really good looking and...
It is a hard stop. It comes out about an inch then will not move beyond that point. I can push it back in and it moves but will not come forward anymore. I have always had the Mag out. I will try the...
I have a P38 which I have had for 2 decades +. I can no longer take it apart for cleaning. The slide release will unlock all the way but the slide will not come off the frame. It comes out about an...
I have a Govt Model, preban, purchased in 1989. The week I purchased, Colt announced they would discontinue manufacture of AR15s. They later started again with the Colt Sporter model. Mine is an...
The April 2012 issue of Shooting Times has an excellent article by Dick Metcalf on Twist rates and accuracy. Anyone with an interest should check it out.
I purchased my first M1 around 1990 for $227. It was from Arlington Ordinance and came out of Korea. It was really rough. Had to replace the barrel, Op Rod and stock plus some small parts as timing...
I purchased my first Garand in 1989\1990. a 1.3 mil springfield. It was from Arlington Arms and it was beat to hell. I know these came from South Korea or there abouts as many had oriental writing on...
That is a great looking rifle.
I have a Colt Gov't model that I acquired in 1989. Some years ago, I put a Rock River Arms trigger in it and it works great. My match rifle was a RRA with an upper from White Oak Precision mated with...
How do you know which part to replace, assuming bolt is not released. Is this simply trial and error?
I have a Winchester rebuilt at RRAD. It also only has RRAD on the stock and nothing on the reciever legs. I believe I have seen posted on this site in the past that you can find them marked either...
WOW. Like WWII. Couple of Garands, couple of BARs and a Thompson.
I wouldn't do it. If all the parts are original IHC, just leave as is. I have an HRA from the CMP with an original HRA stock. I had the stock refinished a while back and althought it is a beautiful...
My father served in the 2nd Armored Division, 1942-1945. He was a tank Driver and served as gunner also. Served in North Africa, Sicily, Normandy, Ardennes, Rhineland. He was wounded twice, once in...
I purchased a can of Lubiplate years ago and use it exclusivly on my M1s. It works great and I have never had a jam or any problem related to lube.
The first M1 I received from the CMP was in 1998. It was an RRAD rebuild with a Winchester Receiver. The bolt was also Winchester but the rest was mostly Springfield Armory with a couple of HRA...
I have been to both but I found the South Store had the better inventory when I was there. In all fairness, it has been a while since I visted the North Store. The South store is set up well and I...
