The highlight was spending a 4.5 hr road trip and a whole day with my son. He found some good Atari games to add to his vintage gaming collection, and some old baseball bats. He uses the older wood...

I made it down to hillsville with my boy afterall. Headed over to the gunshow portion certainly. If any friends here want to grab lunch coffee etc, hit me up.

FBI released pictures of the rifle.

There was some reporting that a local officer fired at him first,...

Every time I've tried to hang a rifle on the wall...my wife takes it down soon thereafter. I like your idea. Put it behind some curtains so I can quickly hide it when she enters the room. Should help...

LG ammo had much new winchester 30-40 brass, qty100 bags, very cheap the year before the pandemic. I think I bought 10 bags of it. Have to look at my notebook but I think I paid ~$30 a bag back then....

I'm trying to talk the rest of my house into going. Not too far for me. Kids are sold on going, but no word yet from the one with veto authority.

there are not $500 of useable parts on that rifle, and the barrel is not re-sellable. If that barrel was competently plugged, and not because the barrel was on a drill-rifle, then it was likely so...

my next source would be to look for the right sporter to restore. I'm not much for a "collectors item", not to mention the price is always too high, and everyone selling wants to convince you theirs...

Rats. The monthly CMP sales update email said no 03's left at any store.

I saw a picture of a 2 band Nepalese rifle on IMA's website. It convinced me. The lock plate was an exact match to my picture above, albeit I didn't make a point of counting the bands on the rifle in...

All the pictures of the Nepalese imports I'm seeing have no markings on the side plate except some rough but "tasteful" engraving around the border, and foreign characters stamped inside on the...

The only markings I saw were above and below the tang screw. I didn't get a good pick of below the screw. Looks like there may have been something in the middle of the lock plate that isn't there...

A neighbor asked me to look at something given to him, so he brought this over.

Looks like a type of muzzle-to-breach loader conversion, but where/when from? I think the...

Despite what others might say about the bayonet being outdated, it's still very useful kit for the intended purpose affixed to the business end of a rifle. While running convoy security in Iraq,...

Well now ya got me thinking. I don't have a Springfield (or Rock Island) 1903, only some Remington's. I do have unfinished, 80% inletted C-stock from Roy Dunlap in the closet that's just dying for a...

It's coming along.
Here is the cradle I built. Few more coats of finish on the stock before we go after the checkering. I didn't want to put the frame on and scuff it when going over the stock...

Depending on the serial number of your rifle, you might need to be on the hunt for one of these. I found my typewriter first, serial number inside the frame is from the last month of production...

remove the barreled action from the stock and check the witness marks on the barrel+receiver. If they are off, then something fishy is going on. But then that would mean the keyway for the front...

Criterion.
New stocks come from Boyds.
Any other parts are typically USGI, although I did get one once with a gas tub stamped CMP on the bayonet lug. I called and asked and confirmed they were new...

My first thought was perhaps sanded and refinished at some point would make the stamp look muddy like that - so would a very bad picture - so could 100 years of grime and/or past wet.



This is...

I would think if they really came from veteran's organizations, they would have been collected up corporately first before handing then over to the CMP. I don't want to even think about all the...

Just saw this in my inbox today.
Krag-Jorgensen Rifles - Civilian Marksmanship Program
They have 800. My best guess without researching further is they are VFW or Am. Legion turnins.

Price is a...

Did I just see "meow" stamped into the bushing? Wait, it's miow?
Can't tell if the rear dovetail has been messed with. If it's only been widened, you can make a rear sight that will look the right...

Sure shilling is a thing. I also know for fact many people bid and then think twice about it layer - more often than you would think. They no-pay, or whine to the seller that they bid by mistake.
