I think is it mostly to save money, 45/70 can cost $2.00 per round but loading it yourself is 50 cents or less, maybe 25 cents if you cast your own bullets

I cleaned my bore today, it is great.

Very nice piece! The stock is nicer than mine

I am not going to monkey with my stocks, may only wipe them down to gently clean them. I will start another thread about my Gibbs 03A4 with new CMP stock that I want to add color and RLO to but...

You are probably correct. I mostly know about the Boston Police Dept and their armorers. They stamped B.P.D. and rack numbers on two of the S&W Victory models that BPD got, they did it so hard that...

I was in the service but only used a 1911 the entire time. I was a US Navy Photographer 1972-1976

Love the 1911's can strip them in my sleep although now I only have 2.

Nope. I don't want to "correct" it. I won't do that to my M1 as I am keeping it as it left service and I got it. The only guns I have done that to are a couple of my BPD service revolvers that...

Thank you very much, I AM very happy with the purchase, it is a very nice looking carbine and I put what I think is an original sling on it, not sure if it is original as no markings I...

I agree I used the term "collector" when I should have used bubba or flipper - I do a lot of gun shows displaying my world class Boston Police collection (Home - Boston Police Fan site...

Thank you for the clarification. I don't mind what parts might have been swapped out as I think, but could be wrong, that that was done durring or after WWII by the U.S. or by Italy after they got...

I thought I was trying to learn and not pushing back.

Wow, I am glad I bought 8 wrapped originals back in '16 when I got my second WIN. They look the best with a 15 rounder

I agree with you, I like these guns because they came straight from the Italian Army or Police and before that the US Army, should not have had any bubbas changing parts. I want to find out all I...

The barrel on my Quality has "Rock-ola" but it also has a "P" proof mark that appears to be about 1/8" high. The trigger group only has "W"'s so would that be from some sub-contractor who coded it...

Oh, I agree, the trigger housing is Winchester.

But the receiver under the sight has Quality H.M.C. , on my two Winchesters I can see Winchester on that spot

Sorry I was looking at the hammer[ I see a "W" at the back of the trigger housing on the right hand side COLOR="black"]

I see a "W" on the left hand side. Thank you on the pics I took them with my Canon 5D mark IV and a 15-35 L lens

I am just learning about M1's here is my Quality Hardware (VG-F) box came through fine, no dents or tears. Seems to be in very nice shape, just a tad of cosmoline under the top handguard and in it....

I am planning the same thing but also with a movie to post to my youtube channel, I have done that for several guns, not unboxing but using

So frustrating, but then I did see a thread on Milsurps that listed the "order" of the carbines, Irwin first, then I thought Rockola but looking at it again it was Quality Hardware Second followed by...

You are lucky you got the tracking number right away, I got the confirmation of order right away but no tracking number yet.

I signed in a 9:00 and went right to the Rock-ola's and at 9:00:15...

Don't feel bad, I didn't have a PC glitch BUT the site was super slow and it hung me up at enter name, I clicked continue and it sat for 3 minutes and I lost the Rockola.

(I already have 2...

I am going to try for a Rockola. I wanted to also get a Quality or IBM but I have two Winchesters from CMP and since I don't go to collector meets just take them to the range there is no real...

Yes they are using NRA scale. It is on the Midway descriptions
