    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.

    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...

    Crowning a worn muzzle

    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...

    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...

    15 round magazines, are Korean surplus mags ok?

    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.
