I didn't know this. Is the footage still around and viewable?

I didn't know this. Is the footage still around and viewable?
Weren't they mostly destroyed by GIs right before the surrender?
Steve762, the ATF is fine with rebuilding destroyed MG parts kits into semi-autos. They are also fine with Dewats that have been made active again. The way the ATF sees it, if I am doing the 4473,...
Good afternoon, I see that the CMP has M1 drill rifles in stock, I was wondering what kind of work it would take to restore one to shooting condition. I know that the bolts are usually welded over...
I have one of those 1903 Philippine imports. It is a low number SA. Oh heck I'll grab it and see if i can post some photos. I took multiple photos, but they are to boig to upload now. The rifle has a...
Patrick, I didn't spend big money on the revolver. No story came with it. Just a plane old milsurp I was interested in. That was all that was bought, the revolver.
Good morning,
I have recently acquired a Colt M1892 New Army revolver that is a 1901 model revision. I have tried looking up serial number information to get a year of manufacture for the...
Did you ever find the sling mount you were looking for? Currently doing the same with my M12
Anything new in the project?
Interesting read Dave, it is always nifty to read those stories, what other notes would you find in those shells?
I spoke with a gentleman who documented the CMP auction site before the roll out of the 3rd generation software. He did document the carbine as selling in December 2009 as a Service Grade for $1,950...
I just did received a FOIA request for the weapon from the U.S. Govt to see if they head any records on the weapon to which the carbine had a short list of results:
The following Information was...
The bayonet binds before the stud even makes it to the gas valve. I think it must be a narrow race way.
All my M1s have poppet valves, no single slots. It is a Imperial, but it does have a Dane wood scabbard. I will have to find time to try the magic marker, thanks for the suggestion!
They slip right on. I have tried the m5a1 on multiple M1s all have the same problem. All accept a 1905 perfectly.
I found a spot and gentle filed it. Still a tight fit, I don't think that was the problem.
I am getting a tight fit w/ a M5A1 bayo on the end of al 4 of my M1s, the bayonet only slides halfway on until it stops and won't go any further unless persuaded by a rubber mallet. The stud doesn't...
I am fairly certain it is beech, haven't seen walnut like it. But I haven't seen walnut sapwood either.
Right on the money with the S/N it is 5155157. I guessed it was rebuilt just from seeing the rear sight and the absence of a walnut folding stock. I can share more photos if you'd like just tell me...
Recently ran into this M1A1 Carbine while in the search for another type of firearm. I was headed home after looking in several gun stores looking for an 870 Police Magnum and coming up empty. On my...
Is Mr. Thompson a member here, I have only heard good things about his slings and would like to get into contact with him.
I got a service grade M1 around this time last year and this is what I received. It came with a wonderful USGI birch stock set. I was actually wanting a birch sock set and with my luck I got a very...
Browning, he did post pics eventually. I don't have an account on that website so I can't view them. But they are there.
What is the point of having the screws in the rec. is it to make it look cosmetically better or does it add some lost rigidity?
JackP,
When I bought the Carbine, I immediatley checked for wear on the left lug because I noticed it dragging on the screws. The lug is fine and I backed out the offending screw for the time...
