Yuck on the picatinny add on bunk !. Make it a SUIT or nothing !. I just could not do that to my L1A1 .
On the rear sights I drilled out the garbage can sized hole and press fit in a smaller...
couple more.
Some more if they download here...site is problematic for me.2702927030
2701927018Here's pics of my 5 digit serialed ERA w/fatboy stock. Matchign throughout , mirror bore and can she shoot !.
From my experiance ALL the original Suit mounts I have encountered and own had soft aluminum rivets. I took my shooter and removed the rivets and tapped the aligned holes in the flat welded on the...
Thanks for the input guys. I shared the data with my friend and convinced him it's a keeper.So now he want's to find a right proper 1896 model rear sight assembly. Anone have one do tell !. I know...
OK , I've been out of the loop on Krags for some years. A buddy has an 1896 Krag rifle he's thinking of selling. Anyhow the stock is gorgeous with a prominent 1896 cartouche where it's supposed to...
Anyone ever tried to match up bolts on M69's ?.
I've got bolts ; I 6139

Looking for bolts : U 3753

If anything I think you wil find the the bottom of the receiver where the magazine box goes is not contour milled to be right in feeding the 30 caliber cartridge. Dang it's cheaper to have acquired a...
This is a dead horse subject. Among collectors of imperial german arms it has long been established that the reversal of bullets in S patrone was not for AP - it was simply used to shred the parapet...
Just a bubba gun. No turning of the receiver needed as the gew98 and 98k are identical dimensionally... unless of course it's been belt sanded to hell and a spurious number applied as in this case....
JM ; I did'nt know there was a follow up to the Black Rifle ... hell I bought my copy of it over 15 years ago and it's "chapter" on canadian AR's is wee small with few pics let alone details.
JM ; That's the best info I have had on it yet bar none !. It boggles my mind that "Colt" would have bought "surplus" canadian parts. Were any 16 series rifles with an upper like mine ever submitted...
Nick ; I don't think it's canadian.. especially when it came on an M16A1 in a shipment of 30+ rifles more than 14 years ago. No diemco there , straight US Army issue. I remember when at boot in the...
Oswago ; I have that info as well , but I also have read some that states that the M16A1E1 was nothing more than an A1 with the burton button in a product improvement move during the tirals that led...
Oswago , nope not it. The link you use is for an M16E1 , Not a M16A1E1. Seems data on any transitional rifles/features during the ramp up to the A2 is pretty scarce.
I took some better quality pics.
"Bullet boards"... c'mon. I've been using a progressive press for 20+ years ... a DILLON and not once have I had such a problem that got to the load and fire stage. If it was a reloaded round the...
I've been using an air force model 22 subcal in my AR's for over 20 years. They are dang fun , but I don't use any A2 barrels ( no 1-7 or compromise 1-9 twists ).
The Ceiner kit is excellent...
albud ; In every way this is an A1 excepting the burton button ( brass deflector ). This was originally on a refurbished M16A1 lower as issued. A buddy swapped it out for me with a spare A1 upper...
A square , Nice site .. but it sure does not show any M16A1E1 uppers for me to compare.
I tried "ar15.com" , but they have unfriendly pic posting so it goes here. I think I know what this M16A1 upper is I have... but would love to hear more about it.
This is realtively old news. Anyhow Kirk's shooter testing pretty much makes me feel this is about a wad of junk as the mini14 has proven to be. Too much after manufacture touch up to make it...
I have to agree Jim. A buddy I knew in the peoples republik of new jerky used to do benchrest . He called it "soft loading". That is he would seat his bullets out further and not crimp. When the...
