FWIW, the WWII subcontractor list I have shows 'RS' as Rome Specialty Company in Rome, New York.
Very true Steve, but the velocity and ballistics has nothing to do in this case. The rifle needs to be rebarreled that is a given. I have thousands of LC 7.62mm cases on hand to reload and very few...
Anyone have experience in rebarreling a 1903A3 in .308 Winchester. Looks to be straight forward except possible problem with the magazine follower and feeding? Appreciate any input as to your...
Yeah, there you go. My eyeballs are clear enough to ID those blokes with the Tam-O-Shanter covers. :D
Must be my sinus cold and blurry eyes, but I'm hard pressed to find any British troops in that
contingent. They all look like KATUSA's to me, Koren Augmentation To United States Army. The KATUSA...
My crystal ball sez.....if you are cycling the action by hand the bolt may not be fully locked and the bridge is preventing the firing pin from striking the cartridge fully. Does the rifle operate...
The 03A3 key is a press fit in a milled slot and is separate of the barrel. You can stake it at each end if needed, but I just tap it in with a plastic hammer. The 03 has a spline intergral to the...
Not difficult at all, at least I didn't experience any problems in mounting an 03 front sight band on my 03A3 barrel. I have the same set up you want to do. The only difference between the front...
If it's a Remington barrel dated 5-44 then it might be be one of those two groove barrels Sarco had recut to four groove. Look down the barrel and you can tell if it's a recut barrel as the lands are...
Bill,
I'm a native Californian and I agree with you, but...................not the entire state please. Interstate 5 runs the length of California. Most of the 'Blue Counties' (ie San Francisco,...
I suspect your elevation adjustment problem is that the rear sight base is not a NM2/2A base. Take a look at the picture and you will see the difference between a standard base and a NM base. The...
Yes, they were in a least two episodes. Some with the bipod and some without.
In addition........
This should help. This assembly/disassembly guide at the CMP website shows how. You can follow their instructions or as Latigo 1 says, after removing the windage knob and...
Both rifles are probably good to go, but check the headspace with a field gauge. If the bolt doesn't close on the field gauge then it's within SAMMI specs and safe to fire. If the bolt closes on the...
Adjusting and Zeroing the M84
The M84 telescope is equipped with a post and cross-hair reticle that may confuse the shooter previously experienced with cross-hair reticles only. As some have...
Danish Army label for marking elevation and windage settings.
Where did this info come from? I checked with the GCA to see what month they were going to hold the meeting in Springfield and they replied back there are no plans at all. If you know something the...
Good luck with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. It is the largest collection of fruitcakes and nuts outside of the Casa de Fruita fruit stand on highway 152. They are anti-everthing which is why...
What? That's a description for 70% of the crowd. :super:
.....this Friday though Sunday at the Grand Sierra Resort. Any CSP people making the trip to attend the show?
Amen, Bill. I'm still looking also.
Had some lined up, but the guy passed away before I could finalize.
I had over a 100 spindles, drums, and retaining washers, but I'm down to about 15 at...
I shoot reloads with a dedicated lot of mil-spec brass for this rifle only. 308 Win die will work, but you need a RCBS Precision-Mic, or other means, to measure the shoulder data line and resize...
Really nice Type I NM rifle. Looks just like the one I have in the safe except for the serial number. Your rifle and mine could be kissing cousins as they were built about the same time and shipped...
Here is one I put together. It is very accurate. Since the barrels are take offs the timing may have to be adjusted. The barrel on mine timed at about close to 6 o'clock so I had the shoulder rolled...
Yes, all that special training, special ticket with ID, and DOT regulations to adhere to in order to collect fees. Then the driver just dumps it on the front porch and runs without getting a...
