There's going to be a lot of personal preference in your decision. One man's "heavy" is another man's "stable" or "fine adjustment" becomes "fussy"
See what's at your next match and get a close...
There are a few detail differences:
-Trousers and leggings for USMC vs Breeches & puttees for USA
-EGA on both collars vs US & branch for USA
-Breast pocket flap design

John,
I've *seen* a lot more alibis, disabled rifles, and range delays due to blown primers (mostly from hot loads) falling into the lower receiver on ratguns than I've ever *heard* of happening...
The applicable definition in law is in 26USC5845(b):
"(b) Machinegun
The term "machinegun'' means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot,...
For NRA and CMP Service Rifle a laminate is OK (even preferred) as is epoxy bedding and all the other bells and whistles. As John says, there's usually no point in half-stepping.
For CMP Games,...
An M1 will have a USGI receiver and use 99% USGI parts. That receiver and those parts are more likely to be dimensionally and structurally correct; probably cheaper and more available too.
If...
I don't know anyone who enjoys shooting Standing in the wind but here are a few things that may help:
-Dryfire a lot. Get your eye and trigger finger connected so when your eye sees a good shot...
Remembered by who? (whom?:rolleyes:) And for what?
I'm sure some GIs who carried the M16 will remember it fondly. Especially those who were in a tight spot and used an M16 to get out. There are...
Only reason I suggested the hammer was at one time Sears was being picky about replacing tools that weren't "broken" but rather "un-maintained" (eg, rusted, corroded, etc).
Haven't tested that...
Craftsman hand tools?
The quickest and easiest way is to smack them with a hammer to break a piece off then take them to any Sears store and swap for free new ones.

That price is at the high end of average for what you get.
But these days "in stock" is better than "out of stock" so there's that to consider.
I've used the 168s for practice. They'll hold...
Well, bad pennies just keep turning up don't they? :wave:
Welcome back :D
Hope to make it to Perry this year and hook up with old friends. Just added you to the list :beerchug:

Hmmm, for *long term* storage of a competition rifle opening the trigger guard may make some sense. If it's opened enough to relieve the downward pull exerted by the Lower Band.
On the other hand...
I'm with Mr Passingthrough, if it's fresh from CMP let them know and give them a chance to make it good.
Or swap parts from your other good Trigger Group until you isolate the bad parts then just...
Nothing personal but nine times out of ten, doubles with an M1 are caused by "milking the trigger." Especially when shooting off a bench or with shooters new to the M1.
It's caused by a failure...
Theoretically, except for an already mentioned unmodified "Seventh Round Stoppage" rifle, top round right or top round left shouldn't matter.
But there's a lot of...
It may be worthwhile to note the difference between the op rod catch (bolt) releasing and the ability of the op rod spring to overcome the friction of the rounds in the clip/thumb on the top round.

Sorry but in this case, memory doesn't serve you correctly :(
The F-84F Thunderstreak and RF-84F Thunderflash both served with the USAF and several other NATO and MAP countries. In fairly large...
I still don't see any benefit :dunno:
Whatever is being squeezed between the receiver rails and magazine floorplate, whether it's straight wood or bedding compound or a combination of the two, is...
What benefit is supposed to be derived from unlatching the trigger guard?
Once wood fibers are crushed they're crushed. Changes in humidity aside (which have no real effect on the actual strength...
1) During WWII E Company would be in the 2d Bn - but not exactly for the reason you think ;)
Prior to the late 1950s Army infantry regiments consisted of 12 companies in three battalions:

1) Is an A3 receiver with removeable carry handle allowed in SR matches?
Yes (if you really mean A4). See CMP Rule 6.2.3 and NRA Rule 3.1.3
2) Did they go through w/ that 'no more standing...
The slamfire prevention steps for an M1 Carbine are the same as for an M1 Rifle or any other free-floating firing pin. They include:
-Proper reloading techniques including proper case prep,...
I've done thousands of cases on my SuperSwage and have loaned it to others to do thousands more. Works like a champ.
The most common issue people have with one can be traced to the setup...
