    S&W 1917

    Are you talking about the oval depression in the top strap just above the forcing cone? If that's it then it's fowling cup and not flame cutting.

    I don't see a problem as long as you save the original and put it back on the rifle before selling it.

    Chambering 1st Round AR15 Loading Problem

    That was a common problem when the M-16 was introduced. The solution was to load 19 rounds in the 20 round magazine. This was before the forward assist was introduced.

    M1A sight settings

    25 and 300 is what I remember for the M-1 also. The AR-15 may be a little different due to the sight height being a little higher over the bore.

    Always wanted a S&W Top Break...found one

    If I remember correctly the .32s are six shot revolvers and the 38s hold five rounds. The OP's gun looks like a five shooter to me..

    Help ID This .22 magazine?

    Yup, Mossberg. I had a bolt action Mossberg years ago that had a seven shot mag just like this one.

    M1 garand

    The early gas trap M-1s did not have a place for the cleaning kit in the butt and no access door on the butt plate. Does your butt plate have the door?

    1873 Calvary Carbine Ammo Question

    forward observer is correct. The military used 70 grains of black powder for rifles and 55 grains was the standard load for carbines. You can shoot the 70 grain loads in your carbine but it will be a little uncomfortable.
