Thanks for the reply and info Doc.
Still gathering parts and material. Just got the rust blue solution and carding wheel in yesterday. Still need a stacking swivel and screw, the barrel, and new...

No. I use the Model B drum for small batches of brass. In addition to the 5lbs. of pins, I'll fill it no more than 85%-90% full. When loaded in this manner, I'll run it 1.5 hours and pour off the...

Stainless Tumbling Media has on their website a media separator that is uniquely suitable to the purpose.

Unlike other separators, theirs is not cut out on the bottom and thus may be filled with...

Your problem is caused by one or more of the following conditions. All of these will also contribute to inaccuracy as the action can squirm in the stock much as a bolt rifle with loose screws.

Patrick,

It looks like you have a nice shooting M1 there. Good shooting.

In an effort to keep that rifle shooting that well, I offer the following cautions.

Factory loaded commercial ammo...

CMP has stocks for both 1903 and 03-A3. I have one of each. The only difference is which hand guard is furnished, and the style of the CMP cartouche. It's Item #87 in their catalog.

Lake City made a ton of M2 in 1969 as this is what most of what you find is. I have shot a good deal of LC69 and noticed that it chronos a bit on the slow side compared to the official Ordnance specs...

CMP is showing Aguila 30 Carbine on their website. $200 for 500rnds.

You might look here.
No M2 Ball projectiles, but they have 147gr. M80 bullets, and M2AP bullets.....pricey as they are.

Actually looking at replacing the barrel with one of the Criterions from CMP. Would then need to remove the front sight base for installation on the new barrel, or so I thought. I see now that S&S...

Is the Krag front sight secured to the barrel solely by the friction fit of the shallow dovetail, or is it also silver soldered or something similar?

Update:

The SS pins are also good for cleaning silencer baffles. Mine are SS, but our other mod on the NFA board has cleaned his AL baffles with equal success.

Determine Sight Height

Use the following equation to determine the height change you need to make:
Sight change =

Sight Radius X_ Impact distance
Target distance

I have a few similar boxes from both Frankford Arsenal and Lake City. Bullets were packaged in these for sale through the DCM as reloading components. If yours look something like these, that's what...

Over the 20+ years of production, the M1 stock and hand guards got beefier. When you compare a WW2 stock to a post war stock, it is quite noticeable. IIRC this was done to make the stocks stand up to...

Analyzing the ejection pattern is one of the methods of determining whether or not a M1 is performing properly.
If you have a weak op rod spring, bolt velocity is increased and the ejection becomes...

Here's the dates and locations for this years games matches. For those that have a M1 or Vintage bolt rifle, it's a blast.

This link will take you to the competitions page. In the blue collumn on...

The normal ejection pattern for the M1 with service ammo and the issue plug is from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock and from 2-4 feet from the rifle when fired from prone. if this is what you are getting,...

Bear with me here, as we not only need to answer your question, but make sure no damage is done to the rifle.

The short answer is to start with the largest orifice, and work down in size until the...

It's not that CMP is out of those grades of rifles, they have stock, it's the panic buying that's increased demand to the point where all rifles are going to mail order sales and there are no...

All I'm missing is the stacking swivel and screw. Found the upper band screw at a gun show this past w/e. Had an upper band in a box of junk I got 20 years ago, so it worked out. Same box also has...

Picked up a nice 1896 Swede with a walnut stock at a gun show yesterday. Most all Swedes I've run across have beech stocks on them. When did the use of walnut cease?
