Stamping on the back of both magazines looks identical.

I thought about this.... but as I am not very experienced with the M1 and I hear a bunch of “the mag is the weak link in reliability with the M1”, I was a bit worried that replacement followers would...

I recently purchased an M1 ( in November of 2020) and in my excitement I also did some research and realized that other than GI mags most people say KCI is great mag. So I purchased 8 from a site I...

Goodness gentleman! I was hoping to find something but you all have eagle eyes and vast knowledge. I will clean the rifle more in depth and give it a drink of linseed oil. Plus, not knowing anything...

So my wife bought me an early Christmas present in the form of an M1 carbine that I just recived yesterday. I gave it a quick wipe down and knowing nothing about M1's started looking up markings....

You know I've been wondering this. I hear people pointing to the M1923 as the canvas sling of WW2 and I hear others pointing to slings similar to this:

M1 Garand Sling M14 M1A M16 AR15 Web Sling...

Congrats on the rifle!! Awesome luck and good looking rifle

Thanks Jon,

Yes the hammer is cocked and the safety doesn't appear to be bent. I will check to see if the hammer spring housing is installed backwards when I get home. Thanks to everyone for...

I understand Jim. But its hard. Moderate pressure may be 20lbs, even a bit more. This is way more than moderate. It is not an exaggeration to say that my thumb is bruised with the amount of force...

You guys know WAY more than i do, so if you guys tell me that its just the way it is..... that's the way it is. Ill take your advice and leave it alone. Hopefully it will break in with use.

Hey guys,

First off let me apologize if this has been asked or addressed before. I searched the forums but did not see an answer.

I just purchased an M1 and it is such a wonderful rifle. I...

Ok guys, Ive been a little busy these last couple weeks but was able to send my lithgow out to Brian. First off, let me state, He is a great guy, straight talking and very honest, if you need any...

The flat spring in the mag is in place and seems to be..... springy lol. I tried taking a sharpie and coloring the brass to see where the case was being shaved and I couldn't tell wheather it was the...

Im using PPU fmj's

What would be the easiest way for an average joe to to clean up the parkerizing in a safe and thorough way?

You got it. Ill do that and post pictures of where its coming off. At work now but it will be up tonight.

The brass chips are my main concern actually. The chamber was clean as a whistle, this was literally me cycling 20 live rounds through the action. All the brass and copper on the feed ramp is just...

No DP stamped or marked anywhere on the gun at all, not exactly sure where to look or how small or big it would be, but im pretty intimate with the rifle at this point. I just have no idea what is...

Hey everyone,

I purchased my first No1 Mk3 a few weeks ago and have little idea what is and isn't normal on the rifle. The rifle was FILTHY when i got it and i have given it a deep clean since i...

Just talked to another milsurp member who is offering this lithgow smle for $500 shipped. I'm not sure about how to correctly price them. I'm not looking for a steal here, I'm just looking not to get...

already contacted bdl prior. The emailed back saying that his websight was in need of updating and that he has NO milsurp C&R rifles at all. lol i thought i had it made with the SMLE's he has listed

Thanks for the suggestion Jim, i am not sure where that WTB correct category would be but i will continue to investigate. I will definitely read through the posts and see whats expected of a good...

I would love to find one, ive been looking at the obvious C&R websights and am getting nothing. I am willing to spend $700 but i would like to spend less.

Hey everyone,

I literally just recevied my C&R licence today and would like to make my first purchase with it a Lee Enfield SMLE. Ive been looking but it seems like they are a little harder to...

Hello everyone,
