I am very happy with both the nickel and plastic oilers that I have received from this gentleman... The best resource on the internet for Post war M1 Garand stocks and other genuine military surplus...

I have shot locally in the rain. I wear glasses, and what works for me is to use a non fogging solution for the lenses (something I started in my younger Hockey days, and has carried over to my JCG...

Fick, is the Hornady Match ammo available on line now? I was not aware they were making it with the AMAX bullet either, interesting. Sounds like it did really good for you, how'd you do with it at...

Pretty sure that one is foriegn, maybe not chinese, but I really doubt its USGI.

Let's not forget that the Marines are a small service. The Army is the main service for ground combat. Marines are a specialty service, who's role has changed from ships guards and small landing...

Nice, looks great and a small bow triggerguard to boot. I prefer that type myself. CMP sent you a nice one!

Nice rifles everyone! I had a hard time picking a favorite from my four. But I guess it would have to be this one at the moment. 1.4 mil SA. I don't think this one went through any WWII rebuilds. And...

Bumping this back to the top. Come on guys, this is where I come for expert information and I am a little surprised that nobody has info on the tools used for the M1 Garand that were kept in the M6...

Hello Vern, yours would be the third instance of combined Army - Marine Regiments in one Division. the 1st time as you mentioned was the 2nd Infantry Div. in WWI. But on Gualdalcanal in January 1943...

Your oiler is WWII era also. Nice items for installing in a WWII era M1! Great finds.

That M3 combo tool is a nice find. They are drying up as of late. The M3A1 is a bit more common, particularly the PB marked Italian made ones. Can you post a pic of the oiler and pull through??
...

Well I have the oiler. No pics for the tools themselves? That is what I would like to see so I know what to look for.

Recently picked up one of these. Checking Billy Pyle's book on accessories, etc. for the M1 Garand he shows the tool roll. But there is no mention of just what tools go in it. Does any body have a...

I've had muzzle covers on my USGI rifles for decades. Properly cleaned and lubricated after firing and the barrels have never shown any sign of rusting or pitting. Keeps the dust out too. YMMV but...

I highly suspect that one to be a repro. I have also seen a couple marked tweedy that I felt were suspect. 1943 dtd Muzzle Covers are bit harder to find, but they are out there. However the fakers...

Seeing how I am hated just for my profession, I think I'll just go back to being an occasional post reader. I have really enjoyed the CSP boards since I first started posting in 1999. Particularly...

Unbelievable how ignorant some folks are about law enforcment officers. Based on the predjudice shown here the same individuals may as well label all white people as Klan members and all Black people...

The "C" prefix part and why it is done I fully understand, what I find interesting is just how far the serial number over run lasted, and am curious as to how far it ran. And your comment brings to...

Hello Gents, well over the weekend I traded an epoxy bedded M1903A3/A4 post war replacement C stock for an unissued Springfield Armory 8-42 replacement barrel with the rear sight collar installed. I...

Interesting, I'm making the changes in my notes.

Elessar, what did John Beard have to say?

Mike Haas, Thank you for the added information from Larry Byrd, has anyone come across any...

I agree, looks to be M1917's.

Semper Fi, Rob

Anybody got anything they can comment on in reguards to the serial #? I sent Elessar over here because based on the info I have this number is about a thousand numbers higher than was previously...

Now that 7th Marines is out at 29 Palms, who's been staying in San Mateo lately?

comm pogue - you're one of the lucky 5th MarDiv members from its reactivation, a neat distinction!

Semper Fi,...

Served from 1985 to 1991, will always consider my self a "3/7" Marine as that was my first assigned unit. Bought my first M1 in 1991,was hooked after having shot one that one of my Company Gunny's...
