Humping rifles is fraud, pure and simple. I'm just waiting for some entrepeneurial minded company (cough, cough Mitchell's Mausers) to buy up a bunch of those Korean buybacks and start humping them...

I wonder what the stamp is under the "EW" on that safety?

If you're in Mississippi and driving you might wanna alter your path back home to swing by Anniston and fondle a few before you get home. But be careful you don't wanna get home smelling like...

Very nice! Thanks for the great pictures of a fine rifle! :thup:

About the only thing I need to start is the MAGAL stock and a rear trunnion. I might get Turbothis to make me one of Romy underfolder trunnions without the holes for the underfolder. I don't want...

Beautiful rifle and great pictures! :thup:

Actually it's currently being restored to it's former glory in the deep dark recesses of my workshop in South Texas.
When I finish it will look much like this picture but without the buttstock. I...

I've got one that was part of an M14 cleaning kit that I picked out of a dumpster behind the supply room nearly 40 years ago. A lot of old M14 stuff was trashed when we went to M16's. I wish I...

Yeah I laugh at many sellers out on GB, the same over priced stuff week after week. I guess they are hoping that somebody is going to just have to have their item and will pay anything for it! :lol:

Yep Painter, you are right. Under strong light I found a tiny "w" right where the "w" is on other Winchester slides.
I bought this from Sportsman guide in a closeout sale on Auction Arms. I think...

That's slide number is interesting. I have a slide that I thought was a commercial slide. It has the number 7160091 on the bottom. The only other marking I can find on it is a L up between the two...

I would to, it's a carbine you can shoot as much as you want and not worry about wearing out a collector's item. :super:

You guys all forgot about "Planet of the Apes" with Charlton Heston! :super:

Sort of hard to tell from that picture but they...

I have a barrel that is probably that old, I got it from a box of inherited gun parts. It appears to be 100% GI but has absolutely no markings on it at all. No numbers, no P proof mark, nothing. ...

Thanks! That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure, I had never seen an SA stock marked on the back of the neck like that. I had seen 5 pointed stars on the grip but not what looked like a 6...

Here's one I have, I have no idea where it came from, I got it in a box of unidentified firearms parts from my uncle when he passed away.
The stock is devoid of markings other than a numeral 1 under...

Looks like a commercial stock to me. Probably a Universal or one of the other makers.

Interesting thing that was in that magazine story was the testimony of an Army surgeon who operated on Viet Namese prisoners that had been wounded and captured in fire fights with South Vietnamese or...

The 5.7 Johnson has about twice the muzzle energy of a 5.7x28FN round. Of course the 5.7 Johnson is out of an 18" barrel, versus a 4 inch pistol barrel.

I recently picked up an .30 Caliber Carbine 3 die RCBS carbide set with a shell holder for $27.95 at a gun show, when I decided to get back into Carbines. I haven't tried them yet, I had an old Lee...

I agree. Keep it .22 Spirfire. If I'm not mistaken in order to get the Spitfire to feed reliably it took some modification of the feed ramps of the receiver. Putting a standard carbine barrel on...

I think the color is a combination of gray zinc based park and oxidized oil on the park. It could even be linseed from years of slopping stocks with it. Oil does oxidize to a yellowish color and you...

I'm sure the rumors are based on hearsay and old wives tales. Stories of crazed masses of Asian soldiers have been around since the Spanish American War and the Philipine Insurrection. I think it...

Wouldn't be the first time the "book" was wrong.

Recently I picked up some basically unmarked Carbine parts. Maybe not completely unmarked but I don't know enough about the markings to tell what they are.
First of all is a trigger housing, it...
