    Glad I bought a lifetime supply of HXP when the Grade A and B were selling for .35/round. At the rate I've been popping caps, it's ten lifetimes.......

    I know personally two vets who said they taped the grip safety down on the 1911 when in combat. I'll bet this is that.

    I have never seen one of these before. It would be great if some enterprising individual could produce a drawing from which reproductions could be made. (hint, hint). :)

    REL scope and tripod

    For those with deep pockets there is currently a nice 1944 REL scope and the intricate folding tripod up on one of those famous sites. 3-4 days to run still.

    0L5555 would be a 1941 rifle, and a No. 4 Mk 1 (no star).
    This rifle is made of whole cloth, with a $199 repop scope case and a Chinesium knock off scope. Buyer beware.

    Yes, the RAF blue webbing and frogs that I have are dyed blue, not painted. I've got a rifle and matching bayonet with blue webbing and frog that I picked up in Chattanooga a few decades ago....

    The NRA will be able to focus on their mission only when the current mis-manager in chief Wayne Lappy is gone. And not until then. Wayne still has money to drain from the institution.

    I've never seen LB wood look like that, but I have seen Savage wood look close to this. I think this one has had some "effort" put into mottling the wood.

    The 6 Groove barrels were made on Bren barrel lathes. If I'm remembering my readings right, there is no clear reason given for it. It was at the ramp up to Korea, so it seems likely to me that 1)...

    Yes, didn't know about those. I was still playing with BB guns and homemade napalm in the 60's. Of course M-1 imports would have ended in 1968 with the GCA of 1968, and that provision being lifted in...
