Mark, can you tell me what the tell tale signs are? Thank you for the reply. Regards

Tom,
Do you think WRA chromed the face or do you think that was done later at an ordnance depot to salvage the receiver? While it was a practice to do that on some parts you don’t see many...

Not that it helps, but they pop up on eBay quite often; however, price can fluctuate a lot going that route.

Thanks Bob, I purchased it as a repro for a good price but when it came it has some old German mounts, post war and it came in an old German scope or something wool pouch as shown. I’m sort of in the...

Any opinion on this scope being real or repro? It does not have a data plate but based upon some of the characteristics I see it appears to be real or possibly an assembled scope from Sarco? The...

Here is the technical bulletin for its removal. A MWO 27 May 43 and and this June TB authorized it.

Roger that, I only have the one that came with it. I guess I need 5 total for each box of shells. Basic load?

I picked up this late serial number M-65 at a local show. I looked on the web but other than Dave Alberts site there is very little information on these 22’s, especially the very late serial numbers...

I know this is an old post but I thought I would add a picture of a Nov/Dec 44 magazine from a USA-HD to highlight what has been described above.

Dave,
Thank you for your service! Those were tough years in Vietnam. I entered shortly after the war. It’s funny I was thinking the same thing and your comments made me think about the great times...

Thank you. Regards

I was over at a friends and he wanted me to look at a rifle. Best I can tell it’s a last ditch Naval trainer or is a special. I don’t have any books because I’m headed to Louisville. Can anyone...

Thank you for the additional information and comments.

That’s great to know on the pod. From what I was told by another collector he thought the pod should be a kokura with more of a (flat) triangle base instead of rounded. If you look hard there are...

I see that HA is listed as foreign made. I thought a company in the US also made HA enblocs, maybe with periods? Here are a few cut out clips for comparison, wra’s, small o, unmarked, and with just...

No as you mentioned, I don’t intend to do anything to the rifles finish. It was poor wording and frustration on my part after fighting with auto correct trying to use Japanese words etc. the only...

J-rod, thank you for the additional information

Thank you for the information. I will try to find a cleaning rod for sure if the cannot locate it but may consider a monopod but doubt I will look for a bolt cover unless I stumble into one. Are any...

I recently picked up a TJK 37 series rifle missing the monopod, cleaning rod, and bolt cover. The owner’s family looking for the rod. I really know very little about 99’s. All parts match it appears...

I concur with your assessment, I expect there is a picture somewhere showing them stamping rifles. That 43 series of pictures at SA probably has one showing a rifle getting it’s finals stamps. In...

Roger that. A couple years ago there were a couple of long nose slides mounted on -8 followers listed on gunbroker . The followers were a little long and did not fit correctly. They lasted a couple...

I believe we were leaving when the guy walked in with it. My friend checked it out before he got inside and said it was a resto and priced to high for him to pick it up. It was a nice looking...

Beautiful wood in that stock..

I know the Mondragon had an early clip but not aware of 30-06 usage. I’ll have to put my google foo techniques to work as I haven’t seen a Garand 10 round with that shape. Thank you for posting Bob.
