A little less than 350,000. About half as many as they made later in the A3 configuration.

Thanks for the info.

I always thought the bayonet band was blued for Remingtons. Mine and several examples I have seen look like the same finish as the butt plate.
Having the proper steel alloy is important to heat treated parts. If junk extractors are made from junk steel you probably will not get the results you are looking for.
Clean from the chamber end for all but the M1. Never reverse stroke at the muzzle.
If you remove the lever and bolt on the Marlin for cleaning, use a properly sized hollow ground screw driver to...
Does not look NOS.The stacking swivel and screw finish would be different. Usually a quick indicator is if the gas lock screw threads are in the white or not. New cylinders the threads have no...
The SARCO C-stock is inletted incorrectly. You have to do some major reconstruction to make them work. The front area the receiver beds to the stock is cut about a 1/4” to low. You basically have to...
Most people are not going to use 180+ gr bullets and slow powders so the various types of pressure reducing gas plugs are pretty useless for the average M1 owner. Before these gas plugs existed...
IMR 4064 is an excellent powder for a M1. I have a lot of it on the shelf I use for M1 loads only. 47.5 grains pushes 150 Hornady bullets about 2650 fps. There is no need to push them as hard as the...
It is fine, common in milsurps. The firing pin jams the case forward. The case fires and expands. It grips the walls but there is not enough force to push the case head back to the bolt face. Instead...
I would use it in my 1903’s or Garand. I like the brass for reloading and buy it for that.
For serious competition, you would want 1903A3 with a C stock on it. Add a rare checkered butt plate for grip to your coat. That puts it in a mixmaster category.
Gunbroker prices for some...
Sarco walnut C stocks are nice wood but the inletting is horribly wrong behind the recoil lug. The A3 hand guards for them are hit or miss if they are even finished profiled right. It is like their...
For the cost to rebarrel, find a NOS or new reproduction barrel for the SA. Sell the sporter and use the funds towards the barrel and gun smith.
CMP sell new barrels for $200 and will install...
It is a mixmaster of parts, the bolt sleeve is from a Smith Corona. Probably original barrel on the receiver. It is missing the front sight blade and stack swivel, indicating someone has pulled parts...
What is the value of this 1943 1911A1 Canadian Lend Lease? I see they go for a premium compared to typical lend lease British proof marked 1911s. This one only has the Canadian property mark on the...
I was watching that one out of curiosity. The seller is local and has had a few rifles for sale lately. 15’ away it looks nice. Up close there is a lot of issues. Most of the parts have a problem....
