OK, my front band is blued. And after a good hosing with carb cleaner I'd say the handguard bands are parked. The park didn't look light gray so I scrubbed it quite a lot with carb cleaner and a...

When you say "front band" what are you talking about? The cap with the bayo lug? My 4-43 RA bayo lug cap/band thing is blued. On closer inspection I wonder if the handguard rings might be parked? ...

Also, front sight has two pins: a small pin appears to retain the blade, a larger pin retains the base to the barrel.

FYI, my 1903A3 Remmy has 4-43 marked RA barrel, serial number 3,746,9XX. Everything with a stamp is R stamped except sear which has an "S" on right side just to the rear and slightly below the hole...

I have an $80 "shooter special" SKS that would stick cases. After verifying the chamber was rough (rust and pitting) I taped a piece of emory paper to a cleaning rod, chucked in drill, spun it until...

Trigger guard locking lugs pretty well worn for an unfired rifle.

I'm concerned for the primers backing out way more than your non-match grade accuracy. I think you'd better check your headspace. I'll bet it's long out of spec, which will also will cause poor...

The tool marks on "ugly" parts appear to be caused by running the mills at too high speeds and feed rates, and not changing tools when they get dull. While it may offend our eyes, "value" is...

I have heard that the plugs often pop out when the air in the barrel heats up. I figured if I ever parked a barrel that I bothered to plug I'd first fill the bore with hot water to keep the plugs...

Maybe I'll try to park the pinion assembly without blasting it. If it doesn't take to my satisfaction I'll blast and repeat. But I'll not take it apart.

Why NOT reparkerize a mixmaster with a...

Was at the range several years ago (shortly after I got my first CMP Garand and found CSP) and a few guys showed up with a Garand. I was shooting something else, but took notice that they seemed new...

Guys,

Dad and I are preparing to build an M1 kit onto a CMP receiver. I'd like to park the parts before assembly and I'm concerned with the elevation pinion. Is there a way to disassemble it so...

Gents,

Years ago I purchased a Garand kit, most likely a Dane. Mix of USGI, Breda, Beretta. I think I bought it from AIM Surplus but can't recall for sure. In any case, at $100 I should have...
