Exactly, plus my wife said I could do it! It will be worth it when it is done.

I'm not sure what the odds are that 3 rounds could strike an 18" long object about 1" in width perfectly in the center of the width from 2 different angles.....

Okay, I have made the decision to turn this into a money pit. I will start buying one piece or component a month until I get it close to 50-60% WRA, namely the stock/handguards, bolt, trigger group,...

Thank you for checking. One will turn up. Ssgross may have one. I really appreciate you taking the time to check!

I am on track to pick up a Remington Armory 1917 Mosin Nagant. From what I can see in the pictures, I know Bubba found this gun too since it has a bent bolt handle. Or is this the ultra rare WWI...

Thanks!

My December of 1941 AR rifle has the laminate stock but the non-cupped butt plate. I always find it interesting that differences occur and it helps to show how war uses up every resource, no matter...

Lots of history in that rifle!

It's going to be interesting shooting it when I get it back together!

I did ok. I could tell from the photos it had been taken down quite a bit and would need some new wood. For this project, I have plenty of time and patience and have faith a proper set of wood at a...

Thanks for the info. I'll strip that cylinder and try that finish. I'm going to search for an original Winchester stock. I know it will probably be pretty beat up and dinged, but to me, that is what...

I obtained this Winchester M1 Garand last week from an on-line auction. I already had an SA and obtaining a Winchester was on my "want" list. I knew from the pictures it had been sanded (thanks to...

I am looking at a M1 Garand for sale this Saturday via my usual on-line auction site. It appears to be a standard M1 with a possibly sanded stock with no markings. It has a fake flashhider attached...

Good info, thanks. My all-matching 1917 has the round one.

Beautiful rifle. I think you are correct reference the re-arsenal process occurring as your rifle has the later flat cocking piece and not the round one that was original for the rifle. What happened...

Thank you!

I would remove all of the metal from the wood. I remove the metal from the wood to protect the wood from the oil you will use to remove the rust. Soak all of the metal with rust in a coat of oil (I...

Looks like a VZ-24 front sight protector. Pretty rifle which indicates to me that someone refurbished/refinished it. Looks like a nice job with the wood.

Any Type 44 is a great find and this looks pretty nice. Congrats!

Actually, I like those better than "fire" and "safe."

Anderson's no logo lower only says "Safe" and "Fire." If the gun has a color scheme, then I usually lay some matching paint into them to make them match.

Anderson makes a "no logo" lower for about $60. I usually order mine through Primary Arms. I primarily use them for custom rifles that I can personalize for the new owner with engravings. Just Google...

Very nice!

The advice and knowledge I have gained from this forum has saved me a lot of money and helped me make good financial decisions when buying and conserving milsurp firearms. Well worth the donation I...

When I teach my Criminal Law course, my students are always amazed to learn that the first true battles of the American Revolutionary War were at Lexington and Concord and involved the government...
