Pretty much. Scott shared some of the story with me. Clippinger does not mention the possible .38 issue and Malone wanting .45s. He does mention the "mysterious" overnight flight by Malone in his...

As pointed out it may be as simple as needing a fresh spring. If it is just a shooter, you may want to up the poundage or install an EGW oversize firing pin stop. Its square rear edge (rounded) will...

At least some of them wound up issued to the 60th Troop Carrier Group, which served in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. My FIL was a C-47 pilot with the 60th and was issued one. He told me they were...

The AR18 (AR180 semiauto) was made by Armalite in Costa Mesa, CA and for them by Howa in Japan and later Sterling in the UK. The Costa Mesa is most desirable and the best of the lot. Next comes the...

I have a sporterized Winnie 1917 I traded for in 1970 (the damage was done when I acquired it) and have hunted with it in Alaska and the deep south since. The original military barrel was pitted but...
