Am having difficulties opening the CSP Forums. All I get is "the CSP forums are now closed. Old site reopens (click here)" What am I doing wrong? Should I go back to the early 2009 forum??? It...
BrianQ is correct. It is most likely a Howa Machanery Corporation made for the Royal Thai Police. At last count, there were only 800 or so that made it through customes by the Old Sacromento...
Give me a few days and I'll look through my Freedom of Information Act listing of those M1903-A4, Garands, and Carbines that were destroyed through 1990at Captain Crunch in Anniston Alabama. (I'd...
Lets not forget the LeMag. .45 WinMag. All Carbine except the barrel. One hell of a toy. Use the same cartridge in the LeMag, Desert Eagle and the Rhineland/ Mauser WinMag conversion. Ammo is...
I have several with 1943 (1953) vintage lube in them. Stinks like a mad polecat. Leather gaskets do leake but the neoprene 's are OK. Otherwise, Leave the CLP in your pocket.
To be an early Universal it should have one recoil spring and a solid recoil slide. You should not be able to see the locking luh on the bolt. As for the out of battery, just get into the habit of...
Have just returned form the Dale City, VA. show. While there, a gentelman approached my table offering small rifle primers for carbine reloading. I ask "How Much?" "$50.00 per thousand firm for...
Oranges and peanut butter. Make complete guns then ask the same question. The Inland will always be way over inflated while the SA will always be a commercial gun. Nothing more, Unless you have a...
Of the few Garands and M-14's I could see had the bolts welded to the receiver. just for that reason I guess. Does anyone remember blanket parties?
I took my grandsons to this wonderful museum to day. If you live within a few hours drive of the Quantico Marine Base, Virginia, you should try to go. The displays are fantastic and the use of...
If your going to do a lot of carbine shooting, then buy quality-RCBS or Hornady. If you only plan to shoot the occasional errant beer can then Lee is your ticket. I use Lee exclusively for all...
Most Universal stocks are made from Maple. Strip it with Fromby's or other similiar product. Find a bottle of Old English Scratch coat in dark walnut. Stain it just like you would with any stain....
Ruth or Carbine Club has info on the strippers.
As USSR says, Cast and reload your .30 Carbine. Find a tire dealer and either beg or buy his removed wheel weights. A 5 gallon bucket will weigh about 75 pounds and will produce 40 to 50 pounds of...
Clean (polish) your chamber. Check headspace. Replace the extractor. Verify the load your using. If available, try a different rifle. Good luck.
B Square makes a unit that fits into the rear sight dovetail. Also, look at the left side of the receiver for several drilled and tapped holes for a weaver scope mount. Gun Parts, SARCO and What a...
If you feel you must meet and greet BATF&E, Schedule your visit for 31 Otober, 3507. If it is a USGI Carbine it left the factory with a serial number. If it has a manufacturer it has a serial...
Was given a few rounds to compare with the USGI ball, and Winchester soft point. Fired into new, solid, 8 by 16 by 4 inch thick CMU foundation blocks from 25 yards. Cor-Bon penetrated slightly...
Did anyone, besides myself, buy the Rhineland conversion in ,45 WinMag? I need to buy or borrow the mag release assembly so I can fabricate the return spring. I've tried all of the mauser forums,...
Almost certanly the same day. Why no drain hole? These were part of the 2nd concract . Also look at the photo of the trigger housing mount. It looks like a double leg. Why the grinding on the...
I'll give it a 99%.
Do you mean that there were numbers under the BUTTPLATE? Or along the right side. If under the buttplate, then it was done by someone other than thw US Army Ordnance Corps. If along the right...
When is the U.S. going to apoligize to the American Indian for the atroscities we subjected them to from the time the white man sat foot on the Americas until tomorrow?
Not common but it's usually caused by trying to remove the plug that has been staked extra hard. This was usually a depot maintenance job. TIG the crack and re-chase the threads. Tighten the plug...
