Hi Guys: I have this SC 03A3 with a scope mount installed. The mount is covering the majority of the serial number. Only the bottom portion of the number is visible. I trying to figure out what the serial number is without removing the mount. Using the SC serial number range and from what I see...

Hi Guys: Anybody got any idea what those 3 inline marks are? I realize the 4th smaller mark is an arsenal hardness test mark. So that one I'm not wondering about. But the 3 inline ......... what is that? :confused:

Hi Guys :) Couple questions; Do folks shim the barrels on AR type rifles for the purpose of keeping the barrel nut alignment within the optimum torque range? :scrutiny: And then, just in general, on any high powered bottleneck cartridge rifle what do you suppose is the exit pressure at...

Hi guys: I know this is for an Italian Carcano rifle, 7.35mm. My local pawn shop has a quantity of this stuff. The stuff in the stripper clips is pretty straight forward. It's the stuff in the overly engineered brass stripper clips I'm not sure about. Is it for a machine gun or is it just...

Hi guys: I'm restoring this K31. Usually the stamping behind the serial number is the Sig stamp, little tiny rifle :scrutiny: The circle I don't know about. Anybody?

Hi Guys: I've posted a few photos of the "P" series K31 I recently acquired and restored. I took it to the range today for the first time to do some testing and set-up. The results were stunning. Stupid accurate :D During the restoration I noticed somethings that were done to make it this...

Hi Guys: I just acquired a new K31. Here's a couple photos. What kind of rear sight is that and what's the sticker on the handguard? Sight cover, braided sling? Serial number is a P404XXX? What gives:scrutiny:

Howdy Boyz :) I have a new M1 Garand. All original H&R, 1955 production. Like new. The pics speak for themselves.:evil: Whudduhya think? :scrutiny:

Hi Guys: I just purchased an M1 Garand. It's an H&R and appears to be all correct and original. Late 1954 or 1955 production with a H&R barrel date of 12-54. The barrel looks to be as new. It has some spectacular wood. I'll post some photos later. However, I has one thing I'm not liking. And...

Hi Guys: Looking for a little input on what you would consider your favorite loads for my M1 Garand using IMR 4895 and 4064. I also have IMR 4350, RL25, RL22, RL19, H4831

Hi Guys: I have recently acquired what appears to be an all correct H&R M1 Garand. It is basically as new and has some out-of-this-world wood on it. Anyway, it has a stamped trigger guard. I would like it to have a milled trigger guard. Questions: 1) did H&R ever make milled trigger...

Hi Guys: I've got a tidbit that some of you might find mildly interesting. First, I've another Swiss K31 in the barn. I'll post some photos in a little bit. I wanted to ask a question in relation to K31's. I have both GP11 ammo and hand loaded ammo for my K31's. When reloading I use a Hornady...

:neener:Hi Guys: Here's a few photos of my latest K-31 reburb. It's 1944 production, all numbers matching beechwood stock in extraordinary condition. It had some cheesy shalac brush job done on it but I could see it was all there. So I chemically stripped it, gave it a very light overall...

Hi Guys: I just got done stripping a K-31 stock and handguard and I was looking it over. I came to an insightful observation which I think is just one more thing that all adds up to why the K-31's have incredible inherent accuracy. Looking the bare stock over I noticed that, unlike any other...

Hi Guys: I'm curious what you think. I have a couple K-31's that have on the underside of the barrel where it meets the receiver the barrel has a stamp of a hammer inside of a circle. My other K-31 or my BIL's K-31 do not have that stamp. My understanding is that the hammer marked...

Hi Guys: I didn't want to post this in the rifle forum because it's about some vintage ammo I came across at my local pawn shop. Here's the link; http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=9247670#post9247670

Hi Guys: Here's a little something that perhaps some of you may be interested in. My local pawn shop has come into a bunch of vintage ammo of various kinds. All of which appears to be in excellent condition, no moisture or other type of contamination. Some of it I'm sure would be very...

Hi Guys: I recently purchased a Izzy 91/30 on Gun Broker. Here's the complete listing description. This is a all matching 1943 Mosin Nagant round receiver and Izzy marked. It comes with the oiler, sight tool, cleaning tools and Ammo pouch not pictured. It also comes with the matching...

Anybody who shoots a 91/30 knows what I mean. For the rest of you. A 91/30 has a long thin hand guard that is held loosely in place with a couple spring tension barrel bands. Upon shooting the hand guard will slip forward on the barrel. It can't be good for accuracy and is one annoying...

Hi Guys: I've always wondered how different primers would affect a given load. I've also seen many different things said about the subject so I've set-up a little comparison to actually see. I know this isn't an exhaustive study, however I think it will provide some very good insight. Ok...
