Definitely NOT home made. Anyone? Sure would like to find out more about this.
"That exact scabbard in leather is everywhere" Exactly! And would have been much easier, faster, and cheaper to get one of leather than make a new one of what appears to be fiberglass and wood. By...
I have had this M1 Garand Scabbard for many years and would like to learn more about what I have. I could not find any markings at all. The scabbard appears to be sewn fiberglass with rivet...
Thanks for the replies. I think I see a faint shadow of a 3 after the 4....
I have an M1 Barrel with poorly stamped date. Wonder if anyone can identify the year from the codes on top the barrel?6467564676
I recently looked and laughed at a Winchester Mod 12 at a Cabela's. It was US marked with riot gun length barrel marked full choke (obviously cut down), and no stock cartouche, plus well worn. The...
You didn't get it! My post was intended to be satire. The rifle is a really horrible fake.
I especially like the 1903 NM rifle listed below (not an auction) because of the (must have been custom made in 1931) scant stock and the really fine quality engraving on the bolt, not to mention the...
Even with the disclaimers, the bolt still sold for $285!
The seller has now posted that he has conflicting information regarding authenticity and offered to allow bid retraction. Got to appreciate his attempt to set things straight.
Someone's gonna get screwed....
Original Remington WW2 1903 A4 Sniper Rifle Bolt Unused | eBay
Last weekend I looked at a 1903 at auction, SN 1198951. The bolt was unmarked except for J6, and in the white with a headless cocking piece as I recall, and in an unproofed DAL stock. I remember...
Hello; I recently purchased this 1911 commercial mfg in 1919 and would like to get an idea of the value?
I recently purchased a 1911 commercial, mfg in 1919. Unfortunately the magazine, which has the correct high polish blue, has rust and pitting. I am wondering if it is possible to punch out the...
Were new m1A1 stocks manufactured by the original supplier to Inland or by any other supplier to the government following the end of WWII? If so, is there any difference between WWII and postwar...
Thought some of the readers might enjoy seeing the markings on an M1A1 stock. Gun to be sold at auction in a couple weeks (not mine). :dancingbanana:
Can someone please check my 1922M11 SN 2098B and tell me if it is an SRS hit? Much obliged, Frank
Can someone please check my 1922M1 SN 2098B and tell me if it is an SRS hit? Kinda would like to have an if there will be anything to find. Also, anyone have an idea of the correct barrel date for...
I was stationed at Cam Rahn Bay with the engineers in late 1965. I watched a man break down an M1 that the Special Forces had given him, and he simply boxed it up and mailed it back. You could get...
Thanks for the input. So, did Sarco use common GI barrels to make these up, or did they use repro barrels? Also, are the mounting blocks repro? Thanks, Frank
A friend recently offered to sell me an M1D barrel with pinned mounting block. The barrel with attached block had been ordered from Sarco as an M1D barrel, probably more than ten years ago. I could...
I'm planning to look at a supposed National Match '03 this weekend, SN 1520242. Can someone please run an SRS check and verify that this is a valid NM number? Thanks much
On the 03A4, I think I'd want to know more about the DAL marked stock, especially the bolt cutout on the right side. AFAIK only FJA marked stocks or unmarked replacement stocks would have the bolt...
I have a Jinsen T99, SN 90985. I have read that some 91K were made. What is the highest known Jinsen T99 serial number?
Been to that site, all they show is "sometime after 1919". Surely someone has more info........
