I didn’t know that site was loaded with wrong information (how could I?) - that’s the first I’m being told of this. But there’s not much else to go off of and that’s exactly why I’m here, asking...

Well after all this, my question remains: which parts are “correct” and which ones aren’t? I guess I should just go off the list I found on USRifleCAL30M1 and do my own research. Unlike you guys, I...

Well we can agree to disagree on that. When it comes to WWII rifles, if it’s 100% original, it probably doesn’t have much of a story to tell. It was either unissued or it just didn’t see many...

Okay so first, I understand the difference between original and correct. Just because a rifle isn’t 100% “original” doesn’t mean it can’t have some “original” parts. I’m not experienced with the M1...

You guys seem to be missing the the word “almost”, and also the question mark at the end. I never once tried to state this thing was all original - clearly it’s not. But is it mostly original? It’s a...

Actually, I believe it’s the correct rod (see serial number - I even posted the dates for you, and they fall within this rifle’s date of manufacture). Seems to me it has been cut or modified later,...

Hi there,

I purchased my M1 Garand roughly 7 years ago, then moved cities, bought a house, and life got busy. My M1 Garand sat in the safe all these years - never disassembled it, never shot it....

I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to correct RC rifles to their original German state. However, I can’t bring myself to do it. The reality is that Russia defeated Germany, captured these rifles, and...

Having said that, I think I may have found my answers. I believe matthanne1 is correct about the purplish hue. I believe the trigger guard with the hole in it came from a Gew98. And I believe that...

Yes exactly, that’s why I’m here. I don’t have said rifles, but some folks here might. I’m hoping those folks will recognize these parts on their original rifles and let me know what parts made it...

1938 “S/42” and 1940 “42” both Mauser Obendorf - HOWEVER, as I mentioned they are both Russian captured and the bolts are Russian matching but not original matching. As I understand, some of the...

Hi there, I have a few questions regarding some minor differences with the K98k. I know about some of the major changes, such as hardwood to laminate stocks, flat butt plate to cupped, milled trigger...

Oh wow, that is great information! The guy I bought this carbine from shipped it to me from Quebec, so I guess this one didn’t travel far during it’s time in Canada. You don’t by chance happen to...

I’m away from home now for the weekend but I can take better pictures when I get home. The sling swivel caught my eye too, but as far as I know, the barrel band isn’t meant to come all the way off,...

I believe it’s standard length. The rifle is categorized as “restricted” in Canada because of the barrel length. Extra licensing and more rules. As for the sling swivel, I don’t have another carbine...

Hahaha yeah, here in Canada our freedom is limited to 5 rounds :(

I don’t know who sleepless Jim is, but I thank him for his research! There is some really great information there.

How do you...

Thanks for the reply. Here are some closer pictures of the barrel band.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry you had to meet someone from Prince Albert though :p

Yes that’s what I’m thinking as well, it just seems like a bit of a coincidence that the correct age stock would...

Hi there,

I’ve been doing some research on the Quality Hardware M1 Carbine that I recently purchased and I need some help with the stock. First, let’s talk about the metal parts, I believe these...
