Thanks for all of this information. Unfortunately, I don't have a mini lathe and really can't justify one just for this project; at least not yet....;)

I've read a post or two about reforming...

Thank you for the information and the pictures. I've not shot my rifle yet but if the recoil is not too bad for my old bones, I my do some reloading and more shooting.

I have 20 rounds of reloads...

Did a quick wipe with steel wool and they look good enough to shoot to me, but I have very little experience with old ammunition.
...

Excellent information. Thank you very much, folks. Sorry I forgot to include that the brass is loaded in my original post so I'll be using one of the rubbing methods.

I have some 6.5x53R cartridges that I'd like to clean before firing them. What is the best method? They look like brass but I'll check in the morning to make certain they are not steel. What ever...

Thank you very much. I can't believe I didn't check there. Old age is my excuse and if that one doesn't work, I'll try again.....:D.

I just got a Dutch carbine and would like a couple enbloc clips for it. I've done my usual internet search but came up with nothing in stock. If anyone has a source for a couple enbloc's, I'd...

My friend purchase it to use as a hunting rifle. I was curious about the ease (or not) of restoring it.

If there are safety concerns even though headspace is within acceptable limits, I will...

I plan to rent the appropriate gauges and check the headspace. I'll clean the bore and do a visual inspection. If I can find disassembly instruction, I'll take the bolt apart and make sure the...

This "sporterized" rifle was give to me to clean and determine whether it is safe to shoot. Can someone tell me what it was before the changes? And, how do I remove the bolt? I searched the...

I bought a Remington 40X with a benchrest style bolt stop on it. Someone drilled out the rear hole for the rear sight base to about 9/64" and installed the stop. Does anyone know of a gunsmith who...

Thank you for all of the comments and advice. It is valued and appreciated.

I left a message with Brian yesterday and hope he will return my call soon. When I made my "want list" of parts...

Very well. I agree I'm not in a hole. It does appear to be a genuine No. 4 (T) thanks to yours and all the other information I see here.

My next thing is to make a list of what I need for a...

Thank you for the reply and the link. I do have to raise the rear sight to remove the bolt and I'm not clear on what the undercut surfaces of the front sight should look like. But, I believe the...

Hopefully, these pictures are usable. Absolutely new to posting pictures here and it's been a good many years since I held on of these rifles.

I'm sure I've missed some areas of importance. I...

I'll give him a call. Thanks.

The owner accepted my offer and I'll pick up the rifle or what's left of it tomorrow. I'll try to post a picture and you can see how deep a hole I'm in...:)

And,...

I sent an offer this afternoon and he should let me know later today or tomorrow morning. If I get it, at least I can clean it a bit and probably get a bolt fitted. Not sure what is involved with...

If I could get it for $100 or less, I would be more tempted but he wants $200. I'm sure he would take less but don't know how much. I'm still looking at the parts availability but looks like I'd...

Thanks for the information. I've done some pricing this afternoon and seems that it would not be a winner. Too many things not found or more expensive than I thought. I'd better stick to...

I saw a sporterized and damaged No.4 T today. In addition to the stock being altered beyond repair the bolt handle has been broken off and a piece of flat metal brazed on in its place. Front sight...

Is anyone making a 1903A3 barrel in anything except 30-06? Or a 30 caliber barrel that is unchambered??

It is yours, NRA. Please PM me your address and I'll get it out in a day or so. If you feel so inclined, I would appreciate you sending me the cost of the postage. And, I promise I will not ship...

Anyone need one?? I have a post war with everything in it.

Thanks. I appreciate everyone's input. I have read and thought about your replies as well as looked at carbines for sale. It seems that the simplest thing to do is to sell my Garand outright and...

This is a subjective question but I need to start getting opinions. I will soon have a "corrected" HRA Garand finished. It is a service grade that will have all HRA parts. I am going to offer it in...
