I think you'll find out you did the right thing. Here's my Remington M1903 that bubba had sawn the stock in half on. Looks pretty good for an old girl with a new face lift. Like everyone else, it...

That is a lovely rifle.

Jon,

I think you have hit the nail on the head there. I grew up in a segregated town in the mountains of Western NC. We had a few blacks (colored and Negro's were the PC terms in those days) in...

Goo,

You want to bet that they let him change his flight suit before they yelled at him. He probably stunk up the place badly!

I'm a bit predjudiced and only use BLO. Here's a couple of pictures of my "C" stock on a M1903M that I finished last year. At the time of the photo it had about 21 or 22 coats of BLO. Not an easy...

...or an 03 fix; or a SMLE fix or a M1917 fix....et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Good deal on the positive prognosis!

I just went and joined the board to see if I could find out. Chuck is right on when he ID'd it as a NO. He has several older posts of his '42 National Ordinance O3A3.

Your friends stand in silent remembrance of those who gave their all for King and Country.

She lived for many years at Pier N in Charleston, SC. She was moored one pier over from the USS Sierra (AD18), aka Building 18 since she was aground on coffee grounds and cigarette butts. Both of...

Second and subsequent awards of any medal are indicated by Gold Stars for members of the Naval Service and Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters for Army/Air Force. A Silver Star/Oak Leaf Cluster is used to...

PM me off line. I used to be a tour guide there a long, long time ago.

My take on the matter would be that the Navy SUPPLY System was used to taking care of the Navy. Even if they were going to be used by Marines, if it was afloat, nothing was too good for the guys...

But guys, don't forget, in the RVN we had artillery and close air support! I always felt safer there cause you knew something bad had just happened, was happening or was gonna happen any minute.

Why do I think that CPL Corley and PFC Miles might have an issue with the use of "tasty treat" in the caption? :D

And don't forget the poor BAR man front center

How to spot a helicopter pilot at the bar.

The one in his pristine white suit will be a Navy flier.
The one in a starched and pressed flight suit will be an Air Force Pilot.
The grungy one with...

There was a whole series of publicity shots from Ft Knox, I always thought it was prewar. Here's the same guy behind that M1917 and a couple of shots of M3 Grants and a shot of some M2's I believe....

Art,

I actually found the link while doing some research on the POW net the night before this thread posted. Looked at it and said cool. Didn't notice the Officer Only aspect of it. Still, it's...

Looks like it was just after mail-call. Everyone reading their or pretending not to care about mail.

Is that a bandage on the dog?

Interesting reading - and a work in progress because of reasons already...

LOL

An old Army saying. "Don't even leave the garbage dump unguarded when Marines are around. They don't steal because they need to-they steal because they like to!"

I worked with a couple of...

Certainly not Huertgen Forest. That battle was fought by the First Army. By then the 2nd had been transferred to the Third Army under Patton.

My money says that this is a training shot, well...

Even if you put all the correct parts back, its just a correct MIXMASTER.

Jim,

If you ever get down to the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, give me a call - I'd love to talk Springfields or Mint Juleps with you.
