I agree with you. In addition, I would expect that a Flat-Base open end (exposing the lead) would obturate faster and better than closed-base bullets.

Charlie, I think you misunderstood. I want to keep the painted-on numbers (see picture) and was wondering if the Natural Turpentine would dissolve the paint so I could figure out the best way to...

I didn't see any, but I did see a bunch of VZ 52/57. However, they are converted to 7.62X39.

Bruce,

I slugged the barrel on my Type 99, and the Grove is .315" and Bore Dia is .302" - I slugged it twice and got the same measurement using my Mititoyo calipers, which have a +/-0.001 in...

Turns out the M1 Garand I bought is an Ethiopian the folks at RTI (I know, I know, RTI) told me this Garand I ordered from them likely arrived in Ethiopia in the late 1950’s to late 1960’s.

These...

Charlie,

I know I'm replaying to a very old post but I've got a question. How aggressive is this cleaning process? I ask because I would like to try it on a rifle but don't want to remove the...

Ain't that the truth!

Well. after being outbid on six M1 Garands, I think some people just bid for fun because there is NO WAY that some of the rifles I bid on were worth what they went for; I just settled on an M1 Garand...

Bruce, Not sure what you mean by "GROOVE"

I'm using an unaltered rifle that was a bring back....

Hi Jim, Yes that style. I did see those but I believe they are Chinese Type 53. I am hoping to find a Polish or Romanian which is the closest. Thanks for the help

I said I wasn't going to buy any more rifles until I got one more M1 Garand. Well.. I went to the gun store to buy some Singapore HF 7.62 Ammunition and noticed a Polish M44 sitting on the rack. I...

Thanks, Jim; the price went beyond what I think its value is. I'm still looking and bidding on others.. July, the 11% Communist tax hits, so I may end up taking what's on the racks. I've noticed I'm...

I'll be joining you in two or three years, as soon as my last kid graduates from University. Peoples Republic of Kalifornia it wearing on me hard and its not just the gun laws its everything.

Jim, can I ask you a favor to look up serial 450348 looks like a 1942. The stock has SA GHS stamped in it, but it looks like the at the heal of the stock has water damage, recoverable but still not...

Sometimes, I wonder why I volunteer as a Range Safety Officer at my local range. Most of the time, it's uneventful; it's especially nice when the regulars and I are there, and I get to have great...

Might be right, I have WWII era, perhaps I'll go with a Korea Era just because my Dad served in Korea. I found some from 52' for under $1000.00 just don't know the condition of the bores. But I...

Jim, Thanks for looking :)

Steve, Thanks for the help. The The serial number wasn't a big issue for me other than information; if it existed from the SRS; I was just curious if there was a preferred Serial Number range as it...

In July, a NEW California law will levy an additional 11% tax, on top of the 8.5% I already pay, meaning I will need to pay 19.5% Tax on any firearm and ammunition I purchase after July.

As such...

The current US Gas Macks have the drinking tube. the MARK V I had shown was the version I wore or used in the 70's and 80's

The US Military uses the term 'MASK' for "An individual respiratory protective device consisting principally of a facepiece or muzzle-piece, and canister or filter elements. It is designed to protect...

I wouldn't trust it. I've heard of too many people getting in trouble buying from sources in eBay. It would not surprise me if this was a setup-type posting.

This seller on eBay is selling three Spandau Gewehr 98 8mm Mauser - 1914 Receivers. Must be Joe's buddy because I told him what he's selling is considered a firearm but he's set on selling them. The...

I was standing in the living room when someone let a stinker go. My immediate response, without even thinking, mind you, was to yell GAS, GAS, GAS, and reach for the mask that wasn't at my side.
