  1. I like the idea of one product in a spray can...

    I like the idea of one product in a spray can that can clean, lubricate, and protect. A quick search indicates mineral oil may not be good for leather so do you agree that I should avoid getting it...
  2. How does Ballistol affect vintage original finish...

    How does Ballistol affect vintage original finish wood like on the M1 Carbine? I have a can of it and read raves about how it is a great overall product. I'm a bit nervous about anything other than...

    When I put the Security Safe Light back on it makes the yellow painted numbers glow red like they are backlit. Cool!

    Pic was taken in the dark....
  4. Gun Safe Rotary Dial: Can't read the dang numbers!! My fix.

    So my safe is perfect except for one thing: the numbers are almost impossible to read even with the little Security Safe Light led illuminator over it. That actually made it worse since the dial is...

    Well guess what folks. When I removed the sling that had been on my carbine continuously for probably 70+ years I discovered the only areas of corrosion on the entire rifle, the loop on the hinge...

    Seems to be a strong consensus against storing in the case especially if you don't have climate controlled safe space. Thanks to everyone for the advice and real world experiences.

    About having too much time on your hands: When the wife is around, look busy.

    Great info everyone. I am also puzzled about the loop and what it was designed for.
  9. 3 big safes? My one very limited safe seemed...

    3 big safes? My one very limited safe seemed like the perfect choice at the time. Now I have to be creative about how I store firearms in it. It's like Thanksgiving when you have to find space in...

    I recall when I first joined someone cautioned me not to store my rifle in the foam-lined case the previous owners gave me to take it home in. I also read something somewhere about constant long...

    Looks like he secured the bottom strap about halfway up the barrel. Or perhaps was it cut off and rigged higher.

    ps. re.


    How long can you tread water? ;)

    My first impression is that the advertiser should dump the male models and get some regular guys to show off the cases. They certainly look ready for the hunt or range time eh? Or... The cased...

    That is the same as the case I have. Looks like he may have it installed on his web belt or is using the loop, can't be sure from the pic. I see he hasn't strapped the bottom part to his leg. ...
  14. Exactly how was the jump case worn and what is the loop for? Any vintage pics?

    A few pics of my M1A1 jump case. Did not come with my carbine but I found one from the same year of manufacture. A bit frayed in a couple spots and some minor stains, plus the material and...
  15. Any negative effects of storing a paratrooper carbine in the jump bag in the safe?

    I have a dehumidifier canister. Would leave it out of the case but it is getting crowded in there.
  16. Yes they were in a hurry to get these out there. ...

    Yes they were in a hurry to get these out there. So much history of change in just a few years. Wasn't checkering the safety one of the first upgrades, then they went to flip later? I know they...

    While we are on the subject I found a listing for a paratrooper carbine that will sell for a good chunk of change judging from current bids. The handguard has pretty obviously been replaced...

    Congrats and thanks for your service! My wife Teresa and I just celebrated our 26th. Seems like yesterday doesn't it?

    So the sight channel was not cut deep enough or is off center? I would love to see a pic of that. I had to deepen the sight channel on my repro stock handguard since it also obscured the front...

    Good point. The finish and grain on this one matches the rest very well and I can live with the slight misfit.

    I would like to see the pics that Charlie "Painter" posted. If you read this...
