ThAnks Charlie. Just back on milsurps for first time since Michael. May have cable net and phone restored by end of Nov so having to use this TINY keyboard till then — not fun ;-(
Appreciate you...

Prime Minister Winston Churchill at a show-and-tell of American small arms. Behind him is General Eisenhower. Should you believe Churchill is merely posing for the camera, au contraire, he...
This is what Charlie has been posting about. It's an Inland receiver with a Standard Pro serial number. It appears to be a stamping malfunction and either the first and/or second digit hung. It is a...
Yes we did.
Called the seller -- an extremely helpful and pleasant gentleman. He says SN is 3385XXX -- in the SG range but he could not see the maker stamp under the rear sight so it might be an S'G'. Barrel is...
Chris covers 6.219 - 6.449 in CC NL 372. I don't see a later block covered in a NL. COMs have some later ones.
I must respectfully disagree with the notion that film maker Ken Burns has provided a "Fair and Balanced" non-revisionist account of the Viet Nam War. I recommend reading, for starters: The Ken Burns...

Here's an IP to compliment that magazine. It's one of "the finest and most complete Irwin-Pedersens" -- "Condition is excellent both in the wood and all metal parts" -- on Guns International for...

Charlie -- it was to install a Lyman on a late Inland. It was only drilled & tapped twice. Not as bad as the low number IP receiver I got with SIX holes in it!!!

Thank you Frank. Great work -- as always on a stock well worth saving!
I'll take that 4.0 Underwood too, if you don't mind!!
Semper fi,

Never seen a T-2 band with a hole centered on the top and no apparent weld scars. I have a few and have seen others -- none look like this one. Books show all T-2 bands with four weld scars that...
Hello Charlie, Maybe my old eyes are deceiving me, but pic 8 of this .U. T code sure seems to have adjustable sight stake marks. Wore a type 3 band as well. Wood is pretty but I think it has issues,...
"As a young Second Lieutenant, he served in the Philippines at the end of World War II. After the war, he remained in the Army Reserve, eventually achieving the rank of full "Bird" Colonel."

It's probably an SG receiver made in Saginaw, MI and instead of going to Inland, it was sent to Grand Rapids, MI to become an S'G'. Is the barrel original or a replacement? Finish and date on the...
Your serial number looks to be 5653--- which puts it in the 28 March batch of numbers.

Frank, NPM 4.250 - 4.285 appear with Underwood 2-44 and 3-44, and undated Marlin and IBM barrels.
As DaveHH wrote -- NPMs were produced out of serial number sequence; e.g. 4.425 - 4.432 were...
I thought some of my receivers had "heavy" stake marks but these on one of the auction sites must be a record!!

Charlie, the 2563XX I got from a very trustworthy source (unlike the one we discussed previously) has a small "S" on the left side with no other markings. It's not staked.
