That is unquestionably the nicest Remington I have ever seen. Maybe the nicest M1917 I have seen. I would say easily $1,000 to the right buyer. It will only go up in value and would only sell it...

This scope was given to me 50 years ago by a great uncle who enlisted at age 14 and spent the next 38 years in the navy, mostly as a CPO. He was a gunners mate, diver and torpedo man. He designed 3...
I appreciate all the replies and they seem to follow the answers to the same question on AR's and M-14's.
I am not going to put all of my 30 cal in mags, I just filled the 10 or so I have.
I...
I have seen this issue addressed for AR's and M14 clones, but not for carbines.
Does keeping carbine magazines fully loaded for extended periods of time have any
negative effects on the springs? ...
Here are some pics of the SC I mentioned. Notice the double strike and distinctive SC buttplate etc.
:thup:I will do just that, I think I have some on my pc at home. Made need new ones to show the SC as nicely as you have the Rem. I will try to get them up in the next day or so. I will let you...
I am no expert, but I too have a Remington 03A3 in like new condition, as well as a Smith Corona in similar condition. The unissued topic has been debated many times on various forums. The rifles...
What a great article. I am a great admirer of Garand and his rifle. This article makes me appreciate him even more. That is an interesting story of the man and his rifle.
My dad served at Selman Field near Monroe, LA during WWII, basically an office job. He was in his mid-thirties and never went oversees. He was discharged as staff sargeant.
My wife is putting...
Chuck in Denver, I just wanted to thank you for your posts. They are always informative and I very much enjoy reading your input on many subjects. You have answered a few questions I have posted...
I believe Bill Ricca has some or maybe it is Tony Pucci at m1garandrifle.com. HTH. Both are great to deal with, I have purchased parts from both.:super:
Like most commercial ammo, it probably is to slow for the garand. Any ammo can be used in the garand provided an adjustable gas plug is used. I use one with a 308 garand I have with modern surplus,...
I had an Eddystone that needed a windage adjustment. I tried a brass punch to drift the front sight, did not work. Bought a sks sight tool and filed the inside dimensions down just a bit to fit on...
I have a nice 1959 Argentine Sistema, a 1911A1 copy made on Colt machinery, as most know. I had some ejection problems and need to replace the extractor and want to make sure I purchase the correct...
I shot mine a few times before putting it away, for whatever reason. It was way off paper at a 100 yds and at the full extent of the adjustment. If that happens to you there are instructions to...
:thup:I have one, it was easy to install and rock solid. It is not something that you will want to remove often. It is attached around the barrel and requires, of course removal of the rear...
No expert here, but I have reloaded some for the garand. There are appropriately designed powders, such IMR 4895, 4064 etc. which are good for use in the garand without the adjustable gas plug. I...
Those collectors from the CMP are greek returns (nothing wrong with that), but that seller likely paid $1400 for that rifle. I have one from a few years ago. They are quite nice and I hope they do...
I bought a 03A3 bolt from SG a few years ago. It won't close on a go gauge I tried. Not sure the remedy for that, the rifle is tight. But I did keep it for parts and not sorry I bought it. ...
The GCA and CMP are fine organizations and both are run on the up and up. I am a member and buyer from the them. I am always amazed at the bitter individuals who always seek out an issue to...
I bought a barreled receiver off of an accomplished high power shooter a few years ago with the intent to build my own long range rifle for possibly F class shooting.
Well I don't think I will ever...
I use the sks sight tool and after minimal filing to open it up it works like a charm. It is much more precise than a hammer and punch, which I have also tried.:thup:
I bought the tool from the CMP several years ago and never regretted the investment. As others have said you can take the bolt apart with other tools, but you must really watch for flying springs. ...
Let's hope that our nation never forgets what can happen when the world looks the other way during the reign of tyrants. Europe certainly seems to have a very selective memory of the events 65 years...
I have not put my pound of whines out. But, I see no reason that reasonable limits can't be imposed. Why not keep the CMP stocks of ammo available so everyone can take part and support our shooting...
