I am getting a new Criterion on an M1 first of October. I am interested in seeing what it reads. I know a little about gun drilling and it is difficult. I know little about modern rifling and the...
Think the cutter broke and spit out a tooth causing the "defect"?
I have a Winchester purchased about 15 years ago (my first). It had been refinished, had a Winchester stock WRA over GHD with 3GM-R off to right side and looked good. Paid an outrageous sum. It...
I took my TG apart and another one as well, wanted to compare the spring and detent on the safety. The M1D spring was longer and had more bent "up: than the other and softer one. I altered the...
The hot water spray works great, especially on a hot day when you can leave it out in the sun to melt out and dry. I plan on visiting Anniston this fall, would love to just go through rifle after...
I do have a question/comment. Even though it was a commemorative "now" what will it be in 50 years? No one will know what or who it commemorated or at least there is a good chance no one will. ...
I am new and just bumped into this thread, reading and learning. Interesting. Now for my question. I have an M1D, supposedly CMP (I have the certificate and assume it is not a forgery). It is one...
I have another question about the safety, I have a Greek return with what appears a lot of new parts. The safety is very stiff, hurts your finger to move it. Not at all like my other M1's. I have...
I am mounting an Aimpoint COMP M3, 2 MOA red dot on flat top upper. FSB is F marked. What riser should I be using? Now have a A.R.M.S. TriLock and it seems low? Matter of fact I know it is low. ...
I actually have 2 M1D one has CMP and the other DCM paperwork supporting what they are. The CMP is or was a Greek return and has an unmarked, except for a very large and non circle "P" (I mean 1/2"...
Is there any difference between the standard M1 stock and the M1D stock?
Sounds like a silly question(s) but is/are there any differences?
Either in inletting/fitting or on how the stock...
Is the Springfield SAR 48 the same as? I have 2 both marked "Match".
7.62mm shoots the .308 NATO round? I have had for over 10 years.
Great to see you onboard!
I am new to this as well and have found it to be agreat group!

How do you go about re inking the numbers on a Garand (or any other sight/item)? Especially the tiny areas.
Did they use ink? (this is what silk screen uses). I would think they simply wiped...
As we are talking about a common item, Greek finish on M1's, here are pictures of mine.
When I started to field strip there was common chassis grease all through the gun, appeared to have been...
Should I post pictures of my Greek Garand here or start a new post? Like I have said, I am new, not well experienced and do not know any of the guys.
Just want to be a member and learn. And,...
I am new to the forum and have one of these, or at least I think I do. It is an M1D and has the very, very shiny black finish. I was thinking it might have been duo black or something like it...
I agree about using a receiver that is properly sized, my problem is these are purchased and I am stuck with them, only 2.
I did not mean to imply that the pins were wrong size, only the mag...
The scope was a M84 original and the rings are 7/8 ID. What height were original military? Base to CL or base to bottom radii? Definitely not 1".
Screws are fairly clean, just a little pucker...
I am new to this forum and this is first post to the AR listings. I have a question concerning "adjustments/fittings". When I have a steel part and it does not fit into the hole in the lower or...
Here are a pictures of a rear scope ring for an Remington 03 A4. Just got the rifle and find this. Did not get to see if first. But the rest of gun is very nice, I will post pictures later (at...
That follows what I have been seeing. Even the Winchester NOS slides are black oxide, one NOS Inland appeared to be manganese phosphate.
Appreciate your help.
When I review your post and the great information, then look at some of the NOS W Carbine parts I have, another question.
What about the slide? A Winchester M1 Carbine slide, is it expected to...
Thanks! Exactly what I thought, the trigger, sear, hammers with a black finish are black oxide not phosphate. I could not find the crystal in the finish under a microscope, appeared as black ox as...
Just a quick question about the scope. Is the Numrich scope the same? Theirs is over $400.00 and I think they claim US made? I need to ck this?
But are they the same scope? If so, Numrich is...
