I haven't seen a follower rod like that one before, is that average for a winchester?
You know thats one of the main reasons I bought a new stock. I was too afraid to buy any old thing and the price for a "real" stock was too much of an investment to feel confortable with. what if its...
I tryed it out this weekend and it seemed to work well, I like the way the action cycled, with the ammuntion I was using it seemed smoother than with the standard gas plug and HXP 73. I was using...
check out the article. Shooting Commercial Ammunition in your M1 Garand
has anyone used the ported gas plug that Eric sells on Garand Gear? I have one and want to shoot commercial ammo in my garand with it. I'm a little aprehensive. - Eric H.
I had a tech inspection done by dean from DGR and he gave me a full report: the muzzle was a .5, te 1.5, headspace from cmp 2.0497 closed 2.0507 opened, gas cylinder >.5290 ^.5280, and the op rod...
Chris good question.....I checked, and it will pass the tilt test, but only with the trigger group removed. It acts the same way with my old stock. Everytime I lock in the trigger group it binds. I...
I test fired the rifle again with the re-worked op rod, but still no luck. The first round fires and the next time I pull the trigger, "click". I'm glad to have the op rod straight and reworked, but...
well i got the butchers bill yesterday on the op rod. The "piston is below spec. Guide lug is at min., cam slot tip is broke off,...and it is bent". Pretty beat up.. anyhow, I hope to get it home and...
I found that the op rod is binding with the front handgaurd, alot. I sanded it back some on the side opposite the op rod track and relieved it enough to barely shove a piece of paper in the gap. I...
Thanks bill I will check the stock, I dont have a set of gauges, but I did have a gunsmith look at the rifle before and he checked a number of things and told me the cylinder was worn but still...
I wrote another post a few mins. ago and it didnt post because my Ipod died, it was very bitter... I feel better now. My original M1 receiver was a peice from around april 43, It was found to be...
What kind of wood is my stock? I'm no good with this sort of thing so I figured I'd ask outright.
whats a stacking swivel for?
Where did you guys see these deals, I was just on the CMP e-store and couldnt find and barrel reciever bolt combos, same with orion 7?

I've had several different malfunctions probably associated with the weld job. It wouldn't fire some m2 ball ammo the previous owner left me. I noticed that it looked like the firing pin barely...
I looked at the fulton armory link and, yes I too have a 1903 barrel sleeved into the old M1 barrel stub. crazy
my barrel reads: 1-s-a-3-43
so how can i tell if it has a 03a3 barrel? I might as well learn something, the guns coming apart anyway.
I visited the SGK gun show this weekend and showed my garand to Gus Fisher. The gun is malfunctioning, a local gun smith checked my headspace and it was 1.969, 0.19 over his field gauge! One of Guses...
Thanks man, I found him.
I talked to the gunsmith today after dropping off my rifle about a week ago, because I took it to a range in N.C. and it jammed after a few shots, breaking off the back of the shell while the rest...
FUBIJAR! haha I love, I have a buddy thats a reservist and served in afganastan. I'm sure he was feeling the same way while rolling through the desert on a tank. God Bless our soldiers!
Well I shot a clip through it today and it worked without a problem. All rounds fired, shells ejected, and the clip shot out with a "pang"! I guess it needed a little less tension. I'm not a great...
