Tarawa, check out the color image from a few days prior-the same # 39 Amtrak
At the risk of being shot with it by my wife, especially since I just purchased my Garand one month ago (and went on a shopping spree for the new wood from Dupage, a 1907 sling, tools and a tiny bit...
I’ve sent the crown cutter back to Midway. I’m keeping my NPM as is and then maybe consider a second rifle just to be a shooter. I just don’t want to compromise the 1943 NPM in the least.
[QUOTE=painter777;493256]IS the front edge of the Crown dinged up ? If so how badly ?
I'm having a hard time following your description.
As stated above it really takes shooting @ 100 yards to...
I would say the latter after all the help I received here on this site after this novice purchased it from a private seller on Gun broker. It had been a safe queen for several decades prior to my...
I am inclined to leave well enough alone. The rifle appears to be pretty darn correct for National Postal Meter. I don’t shoot it too often. Plinking with my hand loads usually connects with milk...
My M1 Carbine Marlin barrel is a bit worn especially at the muzzle. Knowing full well that the Carbine Is not a model of accuracy, is it worth the effort to re-crown the muzzle? Will a freshly cut...
New to the M1 Carbine world, and a bit naive as to the passions that run deep in this prestigious group of collectors. I bought the rifle to shoot and teach my Grandson about shooting and our...
That's why I want to get some more 15 round mags, and of course, a new Shooter that has a type 4 mag catch so I don't have to fiddle with my NPM. Lol. A much better solution that altering a rifle...
By down loading to 27 rounds do your 30 round mags function properly with standard mag releases on older M1s? I have had an occaisional failure to feed with full 30 round mags but none after a few...
So, as a recipient of some of the rather heated discussions, is it possible to carefully remove BLO and reinstall a government correct RLO protective coating. I received what I thought was proper...
LOL, and it sure is fun!
Ok, good to know. Bill was at the show in LEBANON last fall, but at the time I was just getting sucked into this bottomless pit. I was out of town for the recent Harrisburg show. I'll get to...
I really would love to secure 10 or 12 15 round magazines for range trips. It would be unrealistic to think that I'm going to find USGI mags except peacemeal at shows. I've seen Korean mags offered...
A case... my wife may shoot me with it...
Lol, that may be what I have to do... the Armscor brass I have looks rather thin. Commercial loads from Remington, Hornady and maybe Winchester white box will yield decent brass.
Trying to secure more used 30 Carbine brass to clean and reload to feed my newly acquired NPM M1. Is any old military Lake City brass still around or is that just a pipe dream? I just purchased 200...
Beautiful example! What a find...
That's the pistol my Dad carried while he was flying off the USS Yorktown in the summer of 1944. Carried a .25 Browning in flight suit leg pocket. A pistol of last resort.
LOL! Never took it that way... I have had a ton of helpful comments, including yours! And as a result of this, I now have this "collector's" habit under my skin....
Charlie:
Unfortunately, I was not on this site when I first secured my M1. Nor was I looking to become a collector. I wanted to replace a rifle I happened to sell 46 or 47 years ago for a...
Thanks. In looking at the interior of the stock, it looks pristine around the area of the recoil plate. No scuffs or deformation around the recoil plate, just indentations where the plate resides. ...
Good to know someone else here in PA is infected with this "Carbineitce"...
So as I re-read Charlie's identification that 601 Inland sears were supplied to NPM in 1942-43, there is no way I'm taking any chances on potentially altering a Carbine that could have left the...
Phillydude 09; Lancaster, PA here. Looks like a great project gun. Have fun getting it back into shooting order.
