Hi Peter; Do you have any tricks in your bag on tighting the gas tube on a

Sounds like a good idea to me. Brake cleaner has a 1001 uses.
Peter; I take it that the purpose of the revised sling swivels was for easier carry whlie on skis, is that correct ?
Thanks Harry; I'd like to see the pics you have.
When I was an armorer Back when the A2's were issued we could requistion pipe cleaners designed to clean the gas tubes, they were about 2 foot long. I had a pack of the with the NSN stored some place...
Yep; I havn't seen one except for those that you chaps have posted. If you find anymore please send them my way. I'm thinking of doing one of my L1's in winter camo, just want to keep it real.
Hey Longshaor; any luck on finding those pics on winter camo'd FAL's
I have never seen a L1A1 with field expediant winter camo. Could anyone post a picture of one? I would like to see one.
Scott; What kind of work needs to be done on those rifles?
If you are going to install an inch barrel on a metric receiver you have to chase the threads on the inch barrel with a 1-16 die. other than that just like Peter said you have to cut the receiver to...
Yes you can
us019255; how about some more info and maybe a picture of that FAL you want to sell?
I have built some rifles from Model 1 kits had no problems with them.
I didn't mean to knock the show I like it myself. If anybody gets the chance ckeck out Kieths web site Trapdoors galore. It's a great web site & he has a huge collection of rifles, carbines, & parts
The old guy in the show is Kieth Rush. He owns Trapdoors Galore in Las Vegas. I talked to him after the show aired and he told me after the show was shot by the film crew he went back in the store a...
Chief; with all due respect, If you have to ask you wouldn't understand.
Gus; I wasjust trying to see who I could get fired up from my post, I got what I expected.:)
u no who or dan shapiro which is it anyway. I've about had it with this bull**** fourm if you would spend more time at the range and less on the keyboard we would all be better off.:bash:
You people are something else. The M1 Garand was built for the battlefield. If you want a smooth shooter go out and spend the money for a Weatherby or some other Uppie rifle.
Try adjusting the gas regulator to reduce the recoil.
I acquired a small amount of .30-06 ammo with a green tip & a white stripe. does anybody know what these are??
Can anybody suggest the best way to convert an A2 carbine to an A1 semi Carbine
I checked them out on the internet, they are a cool looking rifle but I wouldn't shoot one, I value my face too much.
That is correct, the gas plug should have the hole aligned with the barrel gas port hole to operate in semi mode. the line on the gas plug should be facing up. Make sure the hole in the plug is open,...
This may sound stupid , but make sure the gas block is in the open position, maybe it might be as simple as that
