Sorry, too expensive for me and I have way too much work to do right now.

Sorry I have taken so long to answer. I picked up a NASTY viral cold at Camp Perry and worked really sick for about four days. I'm really only beginning to feel better tonight. When I got back...

First, check your clips. Don’t JUST do it by sticking the clip down inside the receiver with no rounds, that won’t tell you if the clip will jam. There were cases where Greek clips jammed up and...

Just got back from the Nationals at Camp Perry and this year I replaced over a half dozen barrels with new commercial barrels from Gun Parts and Fulton Armory. I “think” the barrels are made by the...

I understand that Bill. A great buddy of mine lives around Fort Wayne, IN and in that area - IHC Garands were always MUCH more highly prized than other makers because they made some parts there for...

Here's a BIG item that many people forget. You have to have the proof of address page notarized by a notary public. When I moved to another spot around Richmond, VA - I forgot that and it hung up...

Thanks for the info guys. None of these are S'G' carbines, just plain Saginaws. It will be of great help to the owner.

Folks, I got this question a few days ago and am not enough of a Carbine Collector to answer it correctly, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. Out of the following four makers, is this the...

GENERALLY speaking, the SA-2 and the post war bolts with no dash numbers were the longest. In both cases, some were longer than others. The problem is that without looking at your rifle and the...

Indiscriminate swapping of bolts without using correct headspace gages is the most common cause of Headspace problems in Garands. Too many people believe you can just swap any old bolt in any old...

Fellow Cadets at the Virginia Military Institute?

Glad to see you back, Dear. Hope all is on the mend for you and the Major.

A whole lot about the value has to do with how many of the parts are original to a Nov 41 rifle. I had a Nov 41 rifle and it should have a short pinion, checkered elevation pinion cap and flush nut,...

If one is used to a good tuned trigger, it is real easy to get spoiled by them. Yes, it does make it easier to shoot the rifle well and that means you can get more of the accuracy the rifle has to...

Hugh,

OK, I think I get it now, but you didn't have it bas-acwards. There is more weight in the second stage than the first stage. The second stage is the actual trigger pull and the first stage...

Oh, one more thing. When I was the Shop Chief at Quantico, one of my Armorers from THE Marine Corps Rifle Team came up to me and told me he and the other two armorers could not satisfy one shooter...

I'd also check for any rubs in the inside of the stock after firing.

You begin by angling the barreled receiver into the stock. Where the lug touches the wood, you trace around it. You also measure how far the lug goes down from the receiver and cut the clearance at...

Hugh,

I don't mean to be critical and maybe it is the way you describe it, but I've been trying to figure out what you mean by the 3 1/2 pound second stage trigger pull. Do you mean the second...

A number of things may be going on.

First, I would always check a rifle like this with a timing block to ensure all the parts are operating correctly. I realize you probably don't have one, so...

The chevrons are for dress blues circa WWII or earlier, without the crossed rifles or diamond in the center (for First Sergeants). This was before they made the "super sergeant" ranks that included...

It may work and may not. No one can guarantee it, especially without looking at your barrel.

John R has some that were cut and are basically excellent to NOS except for the cut. You might want...

Folks, I am not trying to be critical of CMP, especially because I'm a huge fan of them.

However, I just got done inspecting a customer's recently acquired Field Grade rifle. This was very...

In addition to what John wrote, I would add that tightening up a saw cut gas cylinder will often cause a barrel to shoot a bit higher. This sometimes requires a full height front sight or even one...

From many original handguards I've seen, the grain seems to be tighter than on many stocks and that suggests more serious heart wood for the handguards . My SWAG for years has been that they were a...
