I don't think anyone is going to jump on you for what you do to your own firearms. LOL it's the folks that end up with them and need to remove it ;)

Only when you can't hear anything after. Its a odd feeling. Now days the US military provides good hearing protection. In the 70's you got foamies at best.
LOL... at a 600 RPM fire rate, I have bad tinnitus from the M60 and the heavy equipment I worked on. I would more than likely be deaf if I had had a cut-down barrel.
Jim, I'm much the same way. if it is not handy, I don't really mess much with thread lock. But, if it is, I do the same as ssgross and just put a dab of 222MS on the treads using something like a...
I find the opsisite most of the time. The last two Bergara's I bought both had loose scope mounts. But, I replace factory with Leupold mounts most of the time anyhow. LOL
I was thinking the muzzle blast would be freeking LOUD, not about the weight of the M60. At 26.6 pounds (unloaded) I feel the same Jim, I don't know what difference hacking off the barrel would make.
Gents, I can't do anything but laugh. I was asked if I would be interested in purchasing a Remington SPS in 308Win. Well, I couldn't pass up the price. This rifle has obviously not been fired much....
I can't even imagine cutting a pig barrel down, she what I carried when I was in the SEABEES.
I guess I should have looked for my Dads after he died. I remember seeing it in his bedroom in in the early 70's, with his KA-BAR. Thanks for the info Jim
I was flipping through some Vietnam War photographs, mostly looking at M-14, and I happened across this picture of a young man holding what looks to be an M1 Carbine that's been cut down. I always...
Appreciate the office of help, might take you up on that. This SxS is a Black Powder shotgun. A collector of such art told me that the English Black Powder Proofs show it is a post 1887 shotgun 12ga....
I ended up bringing home an F.A. Loomis. I negotiated $285 US for it, which was $65 US less than was asked.
It is a 12 gauge and looks like the only thing. Besides a good cleaning, I will need to...
That's awesome, I would love to see pictures of it

I'm finally getting around to loading up some ammunition for the Arisaka Type 99 carbine I bought in March of 2023. It came with 100 once-shot Norma brass just needed some projectiles.

Well, this was another of those bids I put on an item I did not expect to win. It was an odd one that caught my eye that was for a Springfield Experimental T1 bolt assembly, and I did pull my Brophy...
You should head over to Pre-64 Winchester https://pre64win.com/ Good folks there and are your best source for the information you are looking for. NIB Unfired, my guess is that they may even make you...
Yes, this is what kept me from walking out with it. Thanks!
I was looking at this really nice looking F.A. Loomis Double Barrel, Damascus shotgun; the old shotgun bug has bitten me, and this Loomis, being an English shotgun, has my attention. Anyhow, I felt...
Let me ask the owner, he posted to FACEBOOK so I would guess he's okay with it but let me ask anyhow.
Wow! not that's a loader.. LOL
Large Rifle and Large Rifle Magnum Primers are still elusive here in California, at least. Small rifle/pistol, large rifle/pistol, and SM/LG Magnum pistols seem to be everywhere. Some CCI Large Rifle...
Pretty awesome, I've never seen these
This week, I was on a Facebook group Reloading for Military Rifles and ran across this posting by a fellow that uploaded a 3D Printing file for an En Bloc loading tool.
I printed it and gave it a...
Its a blade so the only stamp is on the side which is 46.5. I have old Stoeger Catalogs, Gun Digest, Shooters Bible dating back to 1953; none of them show this site, the closest I found is a #46R for...
I purchased an Winchester 54 circa 1926 and the Marble's #14 Gold Sheard front site blade had been banged around. I found unused vintage blade site on eBAY listed as a #14 however when it came and I...
