IcmThrawn,

Here's my advice... Once you sell that rifle, it is gone forever. You may never see or be able to buy another one like it in your lifetime. Now, I agree, you have a very generous...

If I recall correctly, Hoppes is fine for all new, non-corrosive primer ammunition, however, it does NOT dissolve the salts that were used in pre-1952? corrosive primer ammunition. If you are...

Jason, "Normally," there are between 8 to 12 clicks "up" elevation to zero a Garand at 100 yards. Some rifles need more clicks, some need less. A tight stock is exactly what you want for the best...

Dude67, Your instincts are correct, get rid of the Chinese M1 clips. A good friend of mine had his Garand freeze up in a rapid fire stage during a Garand Match at Camp Perry in 2009. Gus Fisher...

RBruce,

Others have provided excellent refereces to your question. However, even though you don't want to install a barrel, or perform more complicated gunsmithing, I find that the book "The U.S....

Redleg, I believe that you are correct, those single-digit numbers (1, 2, and 3) represent the work shift that produced the barrel, which would make sense if you were trying to identify why a batch...

Dave, If your question is, "What does R.R.A.D. mean?" The answer is "Red River Army Depot" (Texarkana, TX). R.R.A.D. is a common rebuild stamp. HTH, KarlKW

:sos: I need some help from you Avtomat Kalashnikova experts. I am looking for detailed instructions and procedures for a USMC-style Limited Test and Inspection (LTI) for an AK-47 type rifle. If...

All of your questions are probably answered on their website:

Check it out, I think that they are expecting a sizeable shipment of M1-appropriate ammunition sometime after the 1st of...

Before you buy a Ciener conversion kit, check out this website: Do Not Buy Ciener .22lr conversions You might change your mind on this brand. HTH, KarlKW

Before making a recommendation for ammunition, in what country do you live? If you happen to live here in the U.S., and you qualify (or can qualify) to purchase from the Civilian Marksmanship...

John, isn't it also true that the Remington "R" stamp on the M1917 spring has serifs, and the "R" for the M1903A3 spring does not? This has been my observation, in addition to the shapes of the...

Griff, Don't forget that Springfield Armory, Inc. has a lifetime warranty on their rifles (at least for their M1A rifles, I assume they offer the same deal for their M1 Garand rifles). Your "buddy"...

Bob, I think that specific comment referred to the use of M1 Carbines in Korea, not the M1 Garand. JMO. Cheers, KarlKW

Gary, Ok, I'll bite... Why is the aperture offset to one side, or the other? The M1903 rear sight has tons of left and right windage. What's the deal? Thanks, KarlKW

Kathi, I think that before you purchase the gun that has been placed in front of you, you should take a few moments to think through this purchase. Will your dad want to shoot this rifle? If so,...

smcnally,

It sounds as if your grandfather did indeed mill off the rear sight dovetail, it should be obvious, located on the rear receiver bridge of a 1903A3, near the bolt handle. If it's not...

The USMC front sight cover that is oversize in order to fit over the USMC wider front sight was NOT designed to be removed easily. It was supposed to be installed, and then left on the rifle for...

...sounds a lot like a WW II Winchester barrel. If so, the mark is actually a "P" and a "W" surrounded by an oval. You would have to remove the rear hand guard to see if the drawing number has a...

Answer: Letterkenney Army Depot was/is in Pennsylvania, just west of Chambersburg. HTH, KarlKW

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the front sight blade installed backwards? And the glassbeading in the stock is just the icing on the cake... No thanks... KarlKW

Gentlemen, Thank you for each of your responses. As I now have the rifle in front of me, I can add that the rifle's complete serial number is 1393082, and the letters "P A O D", all caps, and are...

I have a Springfield Armory M1903 rifle, in the 1.3 million range (early 1930's) with a re-build mark of "P.A.O.D." stamped into the space between the "Springfield Armory" and the serial number on...

Unless you are shooting rifle grenades, you won't have any problems shooting an un-cut op-rod. Think about it for a moment, millions and millions of such op-rods were fired in combat during World...
