As always Jim being a true gentleman.
I totally agree not a real part. Most likely of Asian origin and not to original specifications. Get your money back.

I'm curious to see it as well. My 1941 Maltby came with the 2 position flip sight which I quickly changed out for a nice condition Fazakerly No4 sight. It fit and works perfectly as should yours. ...
Jim there had been a run of 30-40 ammo by both Remington and Hornady around early spring and I grabbed some of both, basically whatever I could carry. It's been since early 2022 that Hornady has had...
I'm a wood loving fool and drool over a nice birdseye or tigerstripe. That is literally breathtaking. Thanks for sharing it.
Heads up brethren of the Krag. Just got this notification from Midway. Hornady 30-40 Krag brass 50 round boxes are in stock!
Jump on this boys it never lasts long. I'd buy but I recently bought...
Those are 30-03 gallery rounds made by Franklin Arsenal May 1905.
John in all honesty if we're talking about adding a couple of ounces to have an efficient and effective tool added to my kit as opposed to a bad design that will surely fail when needed the most I'll...
Chuck you made me look closer after you mentioned that stacking swivel screw that I never looked at. I'm not sure and it may be my eyes but is that a speed nut that the hardware store screw is...
Yes it's cool but was a total failure on the Model 1888 Trapdoor Springfield. It boggles the mind that they would bring it back after having an extremely successful conventional bayonet setup on the...
Handguard seems off shade, not a big deal unless it is incorrect. The barrel date may be 1928 but it looks like a straight bolt handle which means low serial number, unless the bolt was swapped. The...
It looks an awful lot like this P35 Random holster.
A Polish knock off of the Hipower.
Because it looks like a Garand at first glance lol. Those 20 rounders are big and heavy when full. It looks like a parkerized box of ammo sticking down from the middle.
Interestingly my brother in laws great x 4 grandfather was killed at Marks Mills. They were Iowa volunteers guarding a wagon train sent from Camden to Pine Bluff to resupply and reenforce. ...
Attached is a CMP letter giving a not very positive view of what they have in stock.

The above video on...
No I haven't contacted the seller. I have no genuine interest in the item therefore I see no reason to contact the seller. Be it available or not it isn't something I'd bid on.
Possible that the bidder didn't realize it wasn't a bayonet anymore but just a big knife and backed out. eBay now has a cancel order button that I never noticed before.
You got it thanks. That usually works for me, I don't know what the issue is this time.

So this above M1905 bayonet...
Gey yourself some good current reloading data for the round and see how much you can download it. A lighter bullet at less velocity can help reduce recoil. Start with the lowest power lightest...
Would you be interested in selling that model 1905 bayonet?
I never served Jim and I'm not about to contradict those that have. However as a retired machinist/mechanic and experienced amateur gunsmith I have seen the results of abuse to all manner of...
I never recommend dry firing for anything. I even uncock my Carbine, Garand and 10/22 without dry firing them. Many will disagree with me. I can recommend using those spent cases until the firing...
Ok just to clarify I'm not speaking about the bore I'm referring to the chamber specifically. Yes there could very well be solidified 50+ year old cosmolene in there which may require heat or...
You need to get a good look inside that chamber. There may very well be a large band of corrosion in that area, that'd be my guess. There are many cheap borescopes available on amazon that connect...
100 yards. Your not allowed any further out without a telescopic sight at this range, even though I'm a member.
