It's good to hear that things have become stable at gun shows. I don't go to them much, if ever, myself, so I wouldn't have known.

A kit without a bolt doesn't sound very interesting. I'm not interested in firewood either, so that's not a plus for me to be able to get that. The price, off of the top of my head doesn't seem...
Ok,
This is an old topic which I thought I had solved, but this idea came to my mind after a mishap at the National Matches. I was shooting the long range phase with my M1A and came up witn an...
How were you able to get the receiver into the USA? Can it still be done?
Danny
I just cut the chamber deeper on a Super Match from SA Inc that I had to do a light rebuild on. It has about 20 rounds through it. I rebuilt it because it had excessive windage when a mechanical...
I wish that they had some of the brass that they used to have years ago. That's what I should have been buying.

It looks like the can opener and flashlight are missing.

That looks to be the way that I have it rigged and how I use it.

I don't see a point in spending time and money on making a "match rifle" out of something that will only look terrible and yield no pride in ownership. The receiver may well be worn, or even worn...
Why would a beat up looking Garand which has been defaced, and is possibly well worn, be good "match gun potential"? It doesn't make sense.

All that you really need is a properly fitted and properly chambered standard (regular size/length) M1 Barrel that is offered in many places such as from Dean's Gun Restorations (DGR) among others. ...
It's better to do as Calif-Steve says and NOT do a Conversion to .308. Having a proper .308 chambered barrel installed is cheaper and far better than any conversion work done on the rifle with one...
It looks great, not much different than parkerizing. What grade of glass beads did you use?
Danny
Can you take and post pics of it, particularly the inside of it and maybe around the buttplate interior and the mold seams? It should be obvious to some of us that have McMillan stocks after seeing...
You'd probably be better off if you had a proper trigger job done on the rifle. I have M1 Rifles in .308 that have standard weight Wilson Barrels on them. I can't really tell a differnce (well, not...
Do you consider Post War Garands and their stocks to be substandard?
Danny
I don't think that he's concerned with rifles (though I could be wrong) that are available to the general public through the online sales program or through any of the stores run by the CMP.
Danny
Ok,
In that case, you should have more examples to go from. I thought tht Roland Beaver had a website. I thought that I remember visiting it. Does he show a list of rifles that he can build, or at...
Is the folding stock a reproduction, or actual USGI. That might make a substantial difference in what the value of that would be. I'm not sure if SA Inc. did make up complete rifles. I've only seen...
I saw this topic here before, but whether it was on the old location or the new location, I don't know. I tried to do searches to find the comments on brands of jackets, but it doesn't come up. I've...
I also have the Wilson Trimmer and when you want precision, that's the one to go with. I also hve the Giraud, and for Highpower, that's the one to use. It has saved me so much work that it's...
Not sure if you are saying the same thing that I feel about Boyds' M1 Stocks, but I won't use them because of the funky pistol grip that's been complained about in the past. Unless they have changed...

So I load in a 30 round PMAG let my friends father have some trigger time, when all of a sudden I notice the "kid" (baggy pants hanging below his but, t shirt 3 sizes to big, and...
I remember the name.
Welcome "back".

I did go back and get the traditional pencil tip and started to use that, but as the gas started to go low in the "bottle", I switched back to the wide tip to compensate for the heat loss. After I...
