    Do a bit of research on those before ordering. Some have complained of poor fit and suggest they're actually Boyds' seconds. :( - Bob

    Hi Frank, I read your post when it came out yesterday and did some thinking about - decided not to respond right away. This morning, I thought $500 might work - especially if you have local...

    I have an M&P from the early 50's - paid $375 for it about 10 years ago. It's the only S&W I've ever owned and don't really know much about them. I like to think it might be worth around $500 now,...

    Don't know if I could find it now, but a few years ago there was a thread in our M1 Carbine forum discussing their use by Israeli teachers and others seen on the streets there. It was pointed out...

    Charlie, I looked that up awhile back and thought I posted it here on the forum - but now can't find it. Seems like his first name is Yashi. Been dealing with a mid-west type blizzard occurring...

    Hope your wife doesn't read all your posts! It gets worse from here; I know someone who sold guns he wanted to keep and then replaced them with ones he didn't need. :cheers: - Bob

    I don't remember where I found these images, but to me it proves that at least some of the "missing-dot" buttplates were made by SA. Hope this helps. - Bob

    Looks good! Is the rear sight still set for 200 or 250 yds ? I have an older brother who has shot quite a bit of corrosive Chinese ammo through his Inland with no problems, but has been used to...

    Here's another Inland, fairly early in the 5M range with the same Type 3 rear sight. This one hit pretty much right on for elevation at 25 yards with the aperture set in the lowest position. Your...

    I haven't been at this as long as some of you guys, but I've never seen annealed brass (even pictures) on any USGI Carbine ammo before. Maybe some of last 1950's lots from WCC were made that way,...

    I've never had any of the Korean surplus carbine ammo, but my understanding is that it's just as good or better than LC. Is the last picture of the WCC 54? - looks like someone annealed the brass. ...

    The front band does look like a "cut down" to me - inner piece extends a bit? I think the import mark is Arlington Ordnance. The Op Slide is an Inland. The bolt is a later Underwood replacement -...
