Sorry to clutter your cyberspace with my ignorance.

HI gang, I bought a Springfield M1 with a Ser. #140xxxx which tells me it is a wartime production. I looked at the barrel and it has a crown proof and the letters VAR. No import marks are evident, Is...

I have a 1903 with ser. no.124xxx it has a SA 3-42 barrel. I have shot it with current production M2 ball ammo and had no problems. It has a Remington bolt in it. Should I continue to shoot it?I...

It's a pretty rascal !:madsmile:

Worth and value are 2 different things.Worth is the price you put on something and value is what someone is willing to pay for an item.Usually the 2 numbers are vastly different.:D

John were you watching for Krags or Raquel? She made the Krag look good.:thup:

Your Krag should have a mark for MGM movie studio.This means your rifle could have been in the movies and carried by John Wayne in "The Fighting Seabees"(probably not).:lol:

What was the original load for the krag? I have 150 gr bullets loaded to 2000fps. I will use them at the match this weekend to empty the brass so I can load the mil-spec load.Will report on my...

Thanks Jon. I thought about a small roll pin but the length is the question?:madsmile:

I came home with a Model 1898 Krag from the local gun show.The stud that goes through the stock to hold the front barrel band in place is gone. I thought about using a wire nail in its place and then...

I inherited a colt 1911 with a flap US holster.On the back of the holster it says 1917 and below that there are 3 letters "LNO".Who made the holster? TIA pdh:bash:

Are the o/u's currently sold under the LC Smith name a good quality shotgun?They are part of the Marlin line.Who makes them?The barrel says made in Italy.TIA pdh.:confused:

AS nearly all 1903s went through a rebuild at least once making one "as issued" is not that big of a deal to some.I guess it's all in what the owner wants.If you can wrap up a fortune in rebuilding...

I'd suggest reaquiring them.Moonlight requisition we used to call it in the boats!;)

I bought a type 38 at our gunshow in feb. of this year.I got new manufacture ammo made by Precision Cartridge Inc. from Grad and sons. Total for 5 boxes(100 rds) was $98.00 including the freight.It...

Brave soldiers should be recognized regardless of where they come from.Good for Germany.Why are there trees along the highways in France? So German soldiers can march in the shade!LOL:lol:

May God continue to bless America and it's allies with freedom. Thank you to our sevicemen who protect our way of life.:D:D

The past is the past. If we don't learn from it we will be doomed to repeat it. If we are going to apologize for everything how about apologizing for burning Atlanta, or Sherman's march to the sea,...

Chancelorsville and the Wilderness battlefields are holy ground bought and paid for by American soldiers. What's next for wal-mart? How about a floating store where the Arizona lies at rest?...

Thanks for your reminder of the sacrifices from our comrades down under. I will remember them in our next American Legion prayer service.I will also hoist a pint in their Honor.

Nice collection. How do they shoot?

As I recall pirates were a problem in the past and the marines were sent in to clean them out. I believe they can do it again.:dancingbanana:
