Hey all, I have a m1 carbine with the type II barrel band, and for the life of me, I cannot get the thing to lock up tight around the handguard. It quite annoyingly rocks back and forth on the barrel, rattling with every move. I understand there is supposed to be some play with the handguard...

OK guys I cannot find an answer to this one, so I will explain. A co-worker and I were thinking of getting an apartment. Trouble with that is, his girlfriend is a felon (she has a check fraud conviction I think) and she would also be staying with us. As you might have guessed, I own a few...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080327/ap_on_re_us/ak47s Look at the dishonesty in that story. Even worse, check out the pic captions. An AR-15 is an 'AK' rifle. I am so glad Yahoo is tanking. Let's hope they go under big time - im sick of their anti-gun stories that are thinly disguised gun...

WITHOUT the wrench. Yes, I dont have the gas piston wrench, I will get one in a week or so if no one can help me out. The nut for the gas piston will not budge. I tried using a punch to loosen it but nada. Tips? Tricks to this? Ive heard of it being done.

I am now starting my long dreaded M1 Garand project, and right off the bat I want to take care of the handguards. My rifle is an early 1943 model, and although I dont yet have the correct stock, I wanted to go ahead and get original black walnut handguards. Trouble is, at a few sites online I...

I lost yet again for one on gun broker. I cannot seem to get one, on ebay or gunbroker. I would pay top dollar if someone here has one. I need one marked Inland, but none of the shops have any.

One of the final steps for my M1 Carbine restoration is something that annoyed me since I got it. The first 5 or so inches of the barrel (including the front sight) are blued. I read this was common with gun dealers in the 1960s, to 'improve' the appearance of some milsurp arms. The park...

I have an original WW2 Inland 'HI' low wood M1 Carbine stock. It is in good shape but the wood was dark and very dirty. First I have given it a bath in some water-down Murphy Oil, which helped eliminate most of the Korean text and grime. After drying, the wood looks very dry and I'd like to...

I have a .38 S&W Victory revolver. I bought it some months ago but I did not fire it until this month. When I was able to finally find some .38 S&W ammo locally, when I go to load it, 2 of the chambers of the cylinder simply fight wanting to take the round. One chamber it isnt too bad, a...

Possible move back to California and I cannot tell if my Victory would be legal there. On the CA DOJ list it lists 'S&W 10-14', which I assume includes the model 10, which is what the civilian version of the victory is. Also, on the DOJ site it lists it as .38 special while mine fires .38 S&W...

Just picked up a little .38 that fires .38 S&W as apposed to .38 Special. Only source of ammo for that my dealer offers is from Remington, and it is very pricey. Just wondering if anyone here can point me to a good online source of it that is cheaper.

I cannot get the darn thing to pop off, the pin will just not budge. I have been using a hole puncher, and it just wont move. Any one here removed one before? I could use some advise.

I posted about this before, but I am finishing up my M1 carbine World War II era restoration. When I got it, it had a m2 stock, a type III barrel band w/bayonet lug which are now gone. I was told by someone else who owns a carbine that my should also not have a 'flip' safety and a adjustable...

Took my M1 Carbine out to the range and had a blast with it. One problem - ammo for this thing is not cheap. I dont know if there is a CMP source, but my local shop only carries Winchester .30 carbine which is 21 dollars for 50 rounds. Ouch. I keep on hearing about how some other...

Backdating an M1 Carbine to ww2 config? Hi guys, just got my M1 Carbine. It has the later barrel band with the bayonet lug. Since I intend to use this rifle for reenacting, I want to covert it back to its world war II configuration. I took the rifle down to the barrel and reciever but for...

Hey all. Looking to get a GI 1911, and to my horror see that for the type I want (a 1911 made by Union Switch & Signal - I am a railroad guy) was around 3000-4500 dollars. So instead I have thought, what about the US&S parts kits that show up from time to time? Even the slide would be...

My local FFL thinks I am nuts as I always worry about the NICS check, even though I have nothing in my past that would prevent me from owning a gun. Thus far (I have had 5 done since Feburary) they go like this: Hi, FFL number XXXXXX, Name is XXX, and so on. about 10 seconds later he is...

Wanting to add to my world war II rifle collection,and next on my list is the M1 Carbine. I dont know much about them but I see that during the war many companies made them. What is confusing me is when I look for M1 Carbines on gun broker they have a load of post war clones mixed in. I am...

Bill had the Virginia AG on and aside from some question on some illegal immigration raids, it was mostly about gun laws. ~Bill grilled him about closing 'gun show loophole', the AG successfully ducked it. Bill tried to say that you could buy guns off the internet (like gun broker) without a...
