I am interested in researching early Remington 1903 rifles of which I currently own two. Also an M-1 Garand collector.

Well I feel a bit weird posting here - I just want to send a PM to Badger!
I'm interested in collecting and collectors of all types.

Hello,
Interest in the Springfield 1903 has brought me here. Hoping to absorb as much as I can.

Hi,

I'm researching a specific Inglis p35 MkI* from the standpoint of internal gunsmith punched markings, the gun in question having what seems to be an anomaly from the 'standard production flow'. I'm primarily interested in the internal markings of the components, variations, Shop models, Pattern room, Drill Purpose, Presentation, Sample and Experimental versions.
These seem to be absent of any clearly documented detailed descriptions or even minimally reported distinguishing characteristics, which I have verified.

I know of NO firearms manufacturing operation which ever produced even a minimal number of pieces, which did so without internally created examples used for numerous functions, from production test models, shop and line training to process testing units. To think that those have not filtered out of the stream is in my opinion 'Dreaming in Technicolor'.

I hope to find some knowledgeable opinions as opposed to the all too common 'lunchbox' or '2nd party modifier' knee jerk explanations.

I am new to this site, but don't know why, because I have been a Krag collector for many years. I know 5MADFARMERS and THORIN6. Thorin6 has refered me several times to people on this site that are looking for parts. I live in Noirth Carolina and carry Krag parts for almost any model. I have sold a lot of parts over the years and it now appears that there are less and less people that carry parts, I am getting low on some myself. Since I do not check this thread often, if you want a part, send me an email @ oldewoodsman@bellsouth.net. I also carry Trapdoor parts.

Just joined the forums. My older brother has just inherited what may be a pristine No 6 MkI, and I was trying to find out if it is real. This seemed like the best place to do that.

I've collected my share of historical rifles. Some by design and many by shear luck, right spot at the right time. Some of my lucky ones are 1886 Trapdoor mint condition, a No. 1 RRB in 50-70 also in mint with all blue and case harden colors. My greatest one is a M40m USMC sniper rifle trophy rifle. This particular rifle is in Peter Senich's book One Round War. This rifle has never been fired since it left the factory and is in it's original case with paperwork from Uncle Sam (DCM). It is for sale at the right price. I may be contacted at CLeising1@comcast.net.
