I may be wrong, but it looks like that barrel was made at Springfield Armory. It has SA before the drawing number. Did H&R buy them from SA and stamp them for their receivers?

LOL :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I shot the JCG match in '01. The ammo was Federal IIRC. They had no problem in my H&R I had just bought for the match. I am partial to 4895 for all military calibers. My 1000 yd .223 hand loads use...

I just remembered he gave me a box of match grade M852 ammo to go with it. :dancingbanana: I don't remember seeing the barrel new in the wrap but I'm sure it was never used. I put a new Boyd's stock...

About 10 years ago when CMP started selling the Danish M1s I got a WW2 era rifle with an excellent VAR barrel. It was pure luck of the draw at that time. I took it to my local military gun shop and...

It is unfortunate that so many people think target shooting is not a real sport. They don't realize how physically demanding it is and how much concentration is required. I'll second the need for...

I have a copy of the "Smallbore Rifle Handbook" published in the mid-1930s. It has military and civilian models listed and shooting tips and positions. An interesting look back at the old days on the...

Wouldn't the SRS letter indicate where the MI version was sold (US Army contract?) and the DCM letter indicate by whom the rifle was purchased after the MII mod?

This is the same kind that I have with the NRA stock. Do you have the original receipt or did you get some kind of research letter? I would like to have a letter for mine. I thought there would have...

That could be true also. My "Band of Brothers" fantasies aside, the carbine must have some measure of use or damage even if it had gone up past Korea with the original barrel. Conjecture of the...

I just followed the AIM Surplus link and they have Inland carbines with 1944 Underwood bbls, so there it is, not so unusual I see. Makes me wonder why the bbl was replaced so soon after the original...

Have a heart Bill, they're a non-profit org that's trying to maximize their "donations" for a finite commodity. :) That would have been a great price though! But could you imagine the bad blood from...

The auction site had a hiccup before they closed and none of those bids were honored. I was watching them at the time thinking I'd like to buy myself an Xmas present but the prices were (and are) too...

Here's a pic of what they looked like in the wrap when received.

Here's a pic of the bbl date. Under magnification it's definitely an 8. It was a club sale carbine from 2002.

I assume a 6 digit s/n Inland with an Underwood 8-44 bbl is not original. Is there anything interesting about the combo, or did the arsenals just combine any serviceable parts together during the...

Here's a pic of My Win 75 sold thru DCM from Letterkenny Arsenal Depot in 1968.

LOL, BUT that is a nightmare I want to avoid, which is why I am including pictures and current values in my inventory. I encrypted the file and put the password in the safe. I should probably print...

No Mossbergs. I had a couple of commercial Mossbergs and I wasn't impressed. I don't have the space for a complete collection like MK111, so I buy what appeals to my historical and aesthetic...

I never bought one of the CMP Mossberg 44s. I had two Mossberg .22s for years, a semiauto (c.1940s) and a bolt action (c.1960s). I thought they were not really that great quality so I passed on the...

I just started an inventory of my firearms for future reference of my heirs. I'm not as bad as some hoarders, thankfully, because I go for quality over quantity. I think I may qualify for a treatment...

Back in 2000, I think, I bought a Manhurin Walther PP in the box from one of the importers (Century maybe). It's not a .22 but I wish it were :D

I'm looking for a Ruger Single Six .22 LR/WMR...

Excellent idea and very nice work :thup:

Did you silver solder that sleeve into the old barrel?

Back when I had access to machine tools I refurbished an old Steven's Favorite .22 with a bore...

At Great Lakes we used odd looking bolt action drill rifles. They definitely weren't '03s or real rifles. I saw one in an Ohio gun shop a few years ago that I thought was the same or similar. I...

Rick, I found the Gun Ho box online and it looks just like the old Pachmayr, it even has the "hidden" compartment on the back side. It would be $160 with the scope mount, which the pawn box has. I...
