I live in MA ... neither firearms nor ammo can be shipped here. Also, I've never heard of not needing an FFL dealer to buy a firearm and then have it shipped to your house.

I'm less concerned with that than having the push backy thing make an ouch on my arm bone meat when the pew pew goes off and the bang tube tries to moonwalk.

I decided that this rifle is a keeper and is worth making right. It's an piece of history and an investment. I'm going to send it out to get professionally spec'd (I've done my novice work and it all...

Should I have said en bloc? Stripper is more fun to say. Please point out any other non issue semantic elements ... it makes everyone the better for it.

That is what I thought. I was worrying about getting rid of the rust and keeping the finish. I really wanted to just clean it all up, get a new barrel, and a fresh parkerize ...

How would you get rid of the rust?

So I brought her to the range today for a first time shooting. There was 4 feet of snow on the ground and it looked like I had been the first person there since last week as there were no prints at...

Actually I have some Sea Foam Deep Creep now that I think of it. I might bust that out and give some of the pieces a dag rag soaking.

Yay! Now I'm armed with knowledge!

I've never fired her. I was told that she is in operating condition and it sat in a guy cabinet for 5 years. It looks good, and I've fired sketchier guns ... but I always protect myself when...

If I’m asking a dumb question or if this is posted someplace else don’t go all jihad on me, I couldn’t find an answer using search.

So the rear sight of the gun as you all know has horizontal and...

Ya, I will run a few rounds down her from a bench Sunday. Strap her to a rifle holder, tie a string to the trigger, stand back and watch. If she fires and cycles (I know she manually cycles) and...

I think that is ok long term ... I didn't buy this to try and turn around and make a quick buck. I think it will probably shoot ok as is, but will really shoot good with a new barrel. The wood to...

What's not cheap about replacing a barrel? Are we talking $1,000 ... $5,000 ... $650,000? Barrels on most guns are only a few hundred bucks unless this is somehow special.

I will actually replace the barrel ... even if there is still some life left in it, I'd like for her to be in good working order. As far as the barrel goes ... at least on this gun, it is one of the...

ok so I scrubbed her down with #9 and a nylon brush. All the bug parts came off just fine and there was some hardish red stuff in the innards ... probably really old gun grease. You can see a few...

So I fully stripped her down and put all the pics on my photobucket ... there are about 90 of them. Feel free to look through them all ...

M1 Garand Fully Stripped

If it is a help, here are...

I will try and make some pics tonight. I'm not a super duper pic making guy. I assume you want some pics of the little movey aroundy thingies, the wood and grain, and the shooty hole. Unless you...

Hello to all. I’m here to find out as much as I can about the M1 Garand. I have done research, read articles, done hands on work, and have endeavored to do so in a straight forward manner. I’m...
