Here is the Redfield No Drill Krag sight, Target Model. I think this is called the 70KT (Model 70, K for Krag, T for Target knobs). The other one is called the 102.

There are two different Krag...

That is a *very* good question. Note: I am not an attorney nor do I play on on TV or the Internet.

ATFE is now accepting applicants to test via the court system the applicability and legality...

"Blue Sky" refer to USGI M1 Garands & M1 Carbines which were imported into the U.S. from former allies that were given these weapons post World War II.

All of the ones I have examined in the last thirty days (San Francisco area and San Diego area) have Century Import stamps.

And no, not a single one was worth $800.00

Especially the one near...

I want to be very specific who I am tarring with this brush.

It is not most M80 shoots like doo-doo except for some FN. It was that almost everything shoots better than Lake City M80. Even...

If Lake City .30 Ball (or for that matter M80 Ball) ever shot as well as its perceived reputation, I would be sitting on tens of thousands of rounds of it.

The facts tho are different. Lake City...

Got to spend all afternoon early this month at Springfield Armory National Historic Site.

Took over 500 digital photos. Some were better than others, the lighting was very hard to deal with,...

Bidding activity can sometimes be a portent of a deal about to fall through. I've watched enough auctions go crazy on bidding only to see the same firearm appear for sale weeks or months later. ...

Buy the gun....not the story.


:madsmile:

Looks like first thumbnail center top left. I missed it at first but it seems to be a cosmoline covered piece of sumthin'.

Last year when I measured my original sideplate screw and trigger guard screw my Starrett thread gage said 26 tpi, which is an obsolete screw pattern. Virtually impossible to find taps or dies in...

I second that. My first RA 03A3 was a 9-43 two groove barrel that shot like it was on fire. With USGI WWII surplus M2 AP rounds it was good for near MOA out to 200 yards. With handloads that I...

I don't think anything is "wrong" per se, but have you measured the barrel OD on the old barrel at the splines v.s the OD of the new barrel?

A new Douglas barrel may be slightly oversize in OD to...

How many do you want?

I have two styles, a skinny .30 (~.299" on the nose and .311" on the bands) and a fat .30 (~.303, ~.304" on the nose and .311" on the bands). Both bullets are ~195 grains. ...

If you can date the photo to circa 1922, then I would ask:

1. How many USMC bases in the continental USA existed in 1922? What were the geographic locations of same? By process of elimination,...

Here is a nice little True or False Test if you're a fan of ATF administrative rulings:

True or False:

Here is one of two or three photos I have of the M1D's at range qualifying at Camp Beauregard Louisiana during Annual Training for the 527th Engineering Battalion (Combat Heavy) in June of 1988. A...

In a word, no.

I've never used gas checks in 25 years of reloading 230 grain Lead Round Nose .45's.

I have an eight cavity Hensley & Gibbs #34 Bevel Base mould that spits out bullets as fast as...

No, I haven't. But thanks to you I will.

Dury's knows M1's. They know what they have. Or don't. Or they are just unsure. Or they know and don't want to say. Or, they want to say, but don't know.

When a dilemma exists like that, the...

As with the carbine stock mounted mag pouch, I am seeking advice on a stock mounted canvas (not leather) pouch that can hold at least two 5 round stripper clips of .30 ammo. The suggested pouch does...

All of these auctions, when silent on the provenance, are learning opportunities. The student is the winner, but the educated are the folks who get to learn by the student's experience. An...

In the first link they have the right idea but the wrong product, or the wrong photo. I suspect they have the wrong photo.

As with Caliber .30 ammunition packed in cloth bandoleers for the...

Advice you can use for the rest of your gun buying life:

"Buy the gun, not the story."


Guns sell themselves, if they can't, that's when the "story" is conceived.
