By the way growing up in Springfield The Armory was familiar to us all. As kids playing in Forest Park ( huge park in town) we would go behind the Lion House at the zoo and pick up defective WALNUT stock blanks to play war with. They were sent there from the Armory to be used in the Boiler to...

My service grade ( see my photo) is a Springfield Armory 1943 March serial no. Has milled trigger guard, new CMP stock. 1956 SA barrel. MW of 1 and TE of 0-1. Non lockbar sights. Totally re parked! Nice than the ones I actually carried in the Corps. I asked for a SA ww2 because my grandfather...

I agree with dweis. Sometimes 9 mm sometimes a 22lr. Depends on the arthritic state of the hands on any given day. LR to the face will upset anybody’s day. Actually wish mom hadn’t sold dads 357 sw Highway patrolman w six in barrel. Dead accurate even with 38 specials

When we moved here from MA on 20. Mover wouldn’t carry ammo in the summer heat. He loaded the safe and contents. We had a layer of ammo cans under the luggage in the back of our Honda Pilot. No problem

i don’t own one. Want buy one. I just don’t like the looks of them. I like walnut, steel and iron sights

I found a 30/40 Krag in the old Rutland Prison camp one reserve weekend. It’s an old (ww1) pow camp … may have been a state jail baFi in the day… another weekend there I found an M1 carbine magazine. Both are in my odds n ends drawer

Too many to count….,59 through 63 in college … paid my own way.. not much left over for Ye Olde Hunter out of Alexandria Va. so many good ones so cheap..

In this hypothetical situation. 1. It’s not my property 2. They have insurance. 3. I’m not about to take on a mob alone 4. I’m going to cover my family and beat feet outa Dodge. 5. only repeat only if I’m confronted and/ or some party or parties are either obstructing our exit or negatively...

Not trying to cast any aspersitions on you , I read your post as your armorer friend GAVE you the rifle …. If he bought and gifted that’s a whole other thing. Your right a lot of stuff got shipped back ” off the books Soto speak” during and after ww1, ww2, Korea etc.

I find it hard to believe that any Armorer Sgt. in any arms room would give someone a weapon as a present. The military is very possessive of its weapons. All arms rooms are inventoried frequently, and every weapon has to be accounted for Always, or the brown stuff hits the fan. An...

My service grade cost $750 about 7-8 yrds ago. Arsenal rebuild definitely. March 1943 serial number, 1955 Springfield barrel. Probably rebuilt after Korea. Maybe in the last big rebuild at the Springfield Armory. They were rebuilding M1s there until McNamara closed it in 67-68. (My dad worked...

My #1 mk 3* …. Cost me $9.99 delivered by ups. 1959 mail order Ye old Hunter out of Alexandria VA. Bayonet Royal Arsenal Wilkinson Sword cost me $1.50 in a local surplus store in 1960. The 200 rods PPU I have for it cost way more

The entire thread is a meaningless argument. My guidebook for marines calls it a gas plug, my gunny called it a gas plug. If your not shooting mil spec ( read safe ) rounds in your 70+ year old Garand you need an adjustable gas plug. If you don’t I can guarantee that you WILL eventually screw...

Usmc 59-65 here. 0311 mos … Rifleman. Carried M1 first then M14 .never saw an m16. Of the two m1 was the best. That’s why I own one today. Mine is a 1943 Springfield Armory. I lived no more than 200 yds away from the Watershops Branch, and my grandfather, uncle, and mom worked there then so...

You shoot it, you clean it ( for three days) taught by my Gunney,. Every time I shoot them I clean them but not for three days anymore!

My best days with the issue web sling I was a Sharpshooter. Some of these “old” men ( in their 30s) were really unbelievable. Several of our non coms got promotions when they retired because you retire out at your highest rank, and many had battlefield promotions I. WW2 and reverted back to...

Can’t beat a 1907 sling when properly used. My plt sgt shot 50/50 bullseyes, offhand, iron sights, at 300 yds, offhand ( standing) using a 1907 sling on an m1. We were shooting our annual qualification and he was just enjoying himself while we “worked,. He was the second best marksman in the...
