Has anyone else noticed that the slide on their carbine will lift out of the receiver if you pull to the right as you retract the slide? I have an old beater carbine I am selling and a potential...

The shotgun is a shotgun, nothing else. It is NOT military. It is not an Mk1. If the definition of a trenchgun is having a heatshield and a bayonet lug then it is indeed a trenchgun. If the US...
that joker on Pawn Stars could hardly be called an expert...on anything.
I have a bit of a dilemma and I need some advice and opinions. I have come across an interesting Garand and I am in a quandary as to what to do. I bought what was supposed to be a substantially...
$5500 You never score high by aiming low.
Where is a good source to find replacement barrels for a WWII carbine? A friend has one with a cracked gas cylinder and we need to find a replacement. Any ideas? Thanks.
$4500-5500
That is a very nice looking rifle. Well done!
Sounds like you have a bayonet for a Vietnam era trenchgun, which would be incorrect for your 1917 rifle. If you go to a gun show you will probably end up getting fleeced. You would be better off...
Gotta love the big silver wristwatch...how inappropriate in combat would that be? Kid knows his rifle though...
US Check & Credit Clearing Company?
Actually there is a modern company called that operating in UK.
I did some digging and came up with some classified and unclassified documents from the...
That shotgun falls into the "double bogus" category, if the U.S. marking isn't fake enough for you then surely you will love the FBI Property markings!! Watch it go through the moon at auction.
I don't like the look of that stock cartouche...
I'll take it, tell me where to send the money!
Just kidding, nice rifle and probably correct. Some real gems came out of the CMP in the early days...
A number of years ago repro bayonets started to show up in the market, I guess to either satisfy the needs of the reenactors, or just from pure greed on the part of the sellers. Were those bayonets...
Bingo! Derrick is correct...the 3 *** denote cylinder choke, the correct choke for a real riot.
Hey Guys, thanks for the pictures and comments, please keep them coming until we figure this out for sure.
I had checked out Frank's pages on the repos, but the pictures were inconclusive. I...
Comments?
I just picked up a Case M3 that is marked on the hilt/guard CASE M3 and has a small bomb stamped on the pommel as well as a "Z" on the tip of the tang. 8 groove handle. What mystifies me is that the...
Any tips on removing the white highlighting accent that collectors seem to like to use on their Garand receivers and barrels? Rem Oil? Hoppes?
Suggestions?
That may be true, but not what I was referencing. Has to do with barrel length.
Keep guessing...
Who cares if it is rebuilt, a converted riot or what?! That USAEC property tag trumps all that. I remember a bunch of these shotguns being advertised in SGN, there was a dealer in Vegas that had riot...
Here is a Ward's Western Field Riot with U.S. markings. Like the Stevens, the gun will be matched - front end, receiver, buttstock. Also, the riots have an identifying characteristic, anyone care to...
Glock 19. There is a reason why it is considered the finest 9mm pistol available in the market place. 15+1, compact, lightweight, concealable and shoots EXACTLY where you point it.
Outstanding shot of the Jug!! Any more of the Thunderbolt in flight??
