I forgot to qualify my comments regarding grease, I use it "sparingly".
I agree with you regarding greasing the op rod guide lugs and cam areas. The carbine op rod is notorious for wearing particularly at the rear tab. This is the most frequent cause for replacing the op...
Charlie: I re-installed the original extractor which I'd inspected carefully and found to be without any problems. I initially replaced it with another just to see if it might affect ejection and it...
Received the type 3 ejector (flat face) from Bill Ricca. Replaced the type 2 slide, original extractor and the type 3 ejector. Fired 15 rounds all of which ejected at 4-5 o'clock. No failures of any...
It worked. The angle of ejection has changed. I do have a type 3 ejector coming and will try that with the old slide. If it works, the type 3 ejector's the answer. If not, then the need for the type...
Changed the extractor, changed the slide from a type 2 to type 5 and headed for the range this afternoon to see if it works. I'll let ya'll know later.
Yes, Charlie, it is Dennis. Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I have tried switching from the multi-faceted ejector to the outside bevel or chamfered. It had no affect. I will try using a...
What's the fix for a carbine that ejects consistently to the forehead?
Thanks
To my knowledge, LC 30 Carbine has NEVER had a steel core - fmj only over lead. I just put some of the LC 71 to the magnet - zip, nothing.
I'm looking for an uncut Saginaw S.G. front sight or at least one measuring not less than .315 from base to tip as a replacement for one that was cut way too short. Am I looking for the proverbial...
Thanks for all the responses. Now I know.
I can see no casting lines anywhere on it. The cast recoil plates I've seen have not been marked anywhere. I've never seen an RIA marked recoil plate - Dennis
I've got a type 3 recoil plate, not cast, that's identified with a hyphen (-) within a circle on the left side of the tang. Any idea who the mfr would be? Thanks
Thanks for the "tip". Dennis
I have a WW2 sling with the C tip missing and the edge frayed. Does anyone sell C tips for replacement/repair? Thanks, Dennis

Need sources for some PPsh 43 mags and US, M3/M3a1 "grease gun" mags. Thanks, Dennis
No other problems. I also had to sand quite a bit of wood for the middle band in order for it to fit around the forearm and upper handguard. Thanks, Dennis
I have an SMLE No1 Mk III which has been sporterized. I wish to return it to its original military configuration. To that end I've acquired the missing parts and wood including a new forearm stock...
Numerich is GunParts. That's where I got this replacement forend stock. Thanks, Dennis
Thanks for the reply and information. I'll try to return the parts and call Springfield Sporters. Any other sources for stock parts? Dennis
If your getting inch and half at 100 yards from your rifle, with the hunting ammunition you're shooting, that is great. I'd be happy with that level of accuracy. As for handloads, any of the...
Help. I have a sporterized SMLE that I wish to return to military. I bought a stock set from GunParts and noticed that the rear of the forend is different. I've attached pictures of the original and...
Michael: Greetings. Where to start. First, have your rifle checked by a competent smith to make sure it's safe to fire. Second, what type '03 is it? '03 or '03A3? Is it stock military or has someone...
