there are a few gunsmiths and part-time gunsmiths that will install a quality 22 rim fire barrel blank in your shot-out 1903 barrel. The blank requires an extension so that the M 2 bolt will fit and...

The pressure is too strong to reline a 30 cal 1903 barrel back to its original caliber. Most Greek 1903 barrels have a letter-like stamp under
the barrel behind the front sight.

I do have a...

My guess would be commercial sales or theatrical/movie use ? could also be used in sub caliber military weapon ?

I saw photos and an article today on the new Savage straight-pull rifle chambering modern cartridges such as the 308 Winchester. This new rifle is call the Savage Impulse Predator and has an...

M1886/93 rifles in very good or better condition, in my opinion, are over $1000 now, add alot more for nice
condition and matching numbers. Difficult to find with original barrel date and with the...

The Lyman Reloading Handbook 43rd Edition shows 300 H&H loads using a 250 gr jacketed soft point at around 2400 fps

(never saw 308 dia 250 gr SP bullets ?)

Both the US Navy and USMC adopted the 6mm Lee rifle and 6mm Colt "potato digger" in the 1890's.

Wonder if the Colt mg is still in 6mm cal ?

Old photo when I was an armorer, one of these was a M37 converted to M1919A6115308

Agree, looks like M3 magazines - but some were not marked for the MAC weapons

Difficult to load by hand, need a loader or M3A1 stock hook, Thompson was a better magazine to load
and better...

I think it was from a Sherman tank, the M1919A4 was used in the mount

Some Soviet WW2 sub sonic is very difficult to find but the really rare cartridges are those loaded the the pre 1908 round nose (210grs) on the ear115229ly stripper clip

115210115211115212Long time ago when I was an armorer, there were some tanks that were going to be sent to the 3.5 in rocket range. I thought
that it might be interesting to remove the mount next...

I agree that it looks like a Model 1903 Hoffer-Thompson 22 Short rim adopter (there is a different name). This was designed to feed from the
magazine and used for training. The barrel was rifled...

I had a Krag buttplate with the trapdoor and tried it on a standard M1903 stock, the toe was too long. It could be
ground down to fit with some work

Could well be a US Navy issue in that serial range, you should run a SRS check

photo shows a black plastic M16 muzzle cover

Jim, see if anyone else can guess the other parts in the photo115104

What makes this stock really interesting to me is that it is a no trap WRA stock with two proof firing stamps. It was re-barreled and proof fired a second time but still remains no trap115025115024

I found a data sheet from Scott Duff's WW2 book on Winchester serial number 1,347393

My friend bought one for $14.50 too, it was a Remington 1903A3 exc plus condition. Later he bought a DMC Colt M1911 for around the
same price.

Certain military retail outlets Like the Great...

It looks like a good basic guide for Winchester restorations. My Winchester rifles are all from 1941 except one 1942 which had the trigger photo
posted. Don't be too concerned about the punch...

The first few hundred SA trigger housings were manufactured without a pad, problems developed and a "hammer buffer" was introduced which is a large pad. After round top safety came into service, the...

You might pay over $200 or even $250 for an original finish WRA trigger housing, of course top marked safety would be more. Most WRA WW2 trigger housings had the large pad, the one in the post has...

What condition is the bore ? also hoe many groves ? even reblued, bore condition is important as a refinished Mauser is more
likely to be shot more often than all original. I would value my M96 at...

Do not know if these photos will be important or not, but show a Cond 11* with early sights and a early tang butt plate. There was some114770114771114772114773114774114775 thought that this might...

Here are some photos of my pre WW1 commercial Mauser, also check the bore for number of grooves too. My stock is also matching. This pistol was purchased from a US veteran years...
