    Iver Johnson M1 Carbine

    IJ and plainfield are both mil spec.....as far as fixing it, do it when you have the money, I suspect your stock is over cut, meaning a new stock is in irder for you.

    I am really thankful for your words folks, and when this is over in 1-4 months I will gladly reveal the whole story, I know its frustrating not to have all of the details, but thank you anyway for understanding, as the optimum outcome is no one gets a criminal record out of this. As far as...

    I have a lot of thoughts and emotions right now, its the first I have really talked about it with any one, the cops here operate under the policy of charge everyone and let the court settle it out.

    Now evaluating if I want guns any more....please read

    Criminal charges have been filed, despite my begging for no charges to be filed as this was a true accident. I do not wish to discuss the incident as court is pending and discussing it may impair the defense. Hey Jim if I made it seem like I "lost a friend" I did not mean a death, more or...

    Why has no one built a 38 super sub gun?

    I know there were full auto 1911's made in 38 super, but why did it stop there? Why not a thompson in 38 super, seems like back in the day(20's) it could have been developed into a super high rate of fire sub gun. Instead it has malingered into close to nonexistance until the 70's when ipsc...

    Well, all mentione.......9x23 and 38 super will be around for decades atleast. there are 38 super guns turned out every year more and more, many forign countries use 38 super as a sporting round of sorts. 9x23 will die out well before 38 super ever will. Any heavy caliber rimfire will/is...

    What was the last extinct caliber?

    To qualify it can not be a "experimental" round(9x23 or other wild cat rounds). It has to be a round that many guns were manufactured for, and are still around in numbers today. For example: Remington mod 8 and 81 lots of those guns still around, but 30 remington is no longer made.....ectinct...

    Flattest Trajectory?

    Let me say I have 0 experience with anything listed but I did have a great 7mm rem mag. &mm offers many bullet choices I would think if you went with the lighter bullets the 7mm-08 would be great. I have also looked at several advertised ballistic charts for the rounds you listed......no one...

    "American Guns" TV show.....

    What is your range uniform?

    On a serious note, for the modern shooting "coat" I understand the elbow pads but why the built in recoil pads? and why are they so stiff? often made of heavy leather that will not bend easily? Leather sure for life long wear, but that can happen with soft leather too.

    .45-70s that meet these criteria?

    In addition to the listed Handi rifles Varrious sharps configurations(and manufacturers) and trap door springfields I once saw a conversion of the Snyder enfield to 45-70. Aside from that all others are a variation of the above listed in one way or another.
