    I don't bother making anything level. I put a straight rod through the rear sight holes, and a straight rod on the gas cylinder flat. Torque until they are dead parallel.

    Should be the same (within tolerance) as an M1903A3, perhaps any M1903?

    I'll measure a few of mine and see what we get:
    A4: 5.762"
    A3: 5.761"
    A3: 5.759"
    A1: 5.768"
    '03: 5.772"
    '03: 5.769"

    Agreed. I'm no gunsmith, just an armorer level knowledge, but I've done lots of Garand barrels, including at the CMP's Garand building class. A couple of alignment rods for the rear sight flat and...

    As long as you don't misrepresent it later, this is a fine course of action, and still resellable to someone that is okay with a very shootable rebarreled rifle. I have several in my collection,...

    From a friend who is in the know on all things F-35: Landing gear fault, and when he pulled up to go around, his wingman's jet wash overwhelmed the pitot static system, causing a pilot-induced...

    If he's "blanking" the primer, with bits of primer cup actually blowing into the bolt, that would be a clearance issue between firing pin and the hole in the bolt head, necessitating bolt head...

    Do these guys bother with remounting a front sight and zeroing, just in case they need to maybe aim at some point?

    That "barrel" is pretty much all chamber, so the only "practical" purpose I can see for it would be as a contact weapon, and the expanding gases are probably gonna do all the damage to the, um,...

    Hard to tell, of course, but that still looks too clean a cut to be explosive damage. I'm sure there were experiments and the odd idiot on the battlefield with their guns, but it wouldn't be a...

    I used this as an excuse to make the Colt M1917 revolver as the C&Rsenal video I watched today. Looks like there are guns where the number on the bottom of the grip matches the serial number (and...

    I guess this is the part that confused me. So the "01" is not THE serial number, but possibly the number that started a series of some subset? Presumably with less than 100 made/issued?
