I just discovered that my barrel pin on my CAI Yugo m70B snapped roughly in half length wise. The pin on the left side is still in the rifle, but the right side is missing. The break on the pin shows an imperfection on the top-front (say 2 o'clock) which created a focal point for the pin to...

OK, where to begin... The breakdown will be lengthy, but please bear with me. It gets interesting... :scrutiny: FYI: The Garand is my favorite rifle, and I know all of my babies forwards and backwards. I was in northeastern Dallas, TX area last week and took my Garand with me thinking I could...

I'm at my whit's end here looking for a barrel... I'm trying to build a specialized gun for my son, and I need a M16A1 barrel; the classic 5.56mm caliber, 0.625" diameter, 1/12" twist rate, 20" long. There is nothing in 1/12". I can't find anyone who produces that barrel. Even Numrich is...

Quote from Mr. Orest: OK everyone, back to buying Garands!! :D

I got this Garand about nine months ago from the CMP. It's a 1955 Springfield with mostly matching parts. One crack starts in the right corner of the magazine well farthest away from the trigger. It's about a four inches long and it's a clean break. I also have two two-inch cracks right...

OK guys, I trying to make-up for a bad camp experience my Boy-Scout troop had at summer camp. I’m going to teach them to shoot and help them get their rifle marksmanship merit badge. However I just learned that the “instructor” for the merit badge needs to be NRA rifle certified. I’m in...

Here’s what’s going on, I purchased an Eddystone salvage grade M1917 from the Anniston, AL CMP store a week ago. Last Tuesday I learned that I needed to have the rifle checked before I test fire it. This afternoon (5/30/2009), I went to a gun store and had them check it out with “go/no-go”...

I was asked today "how many loaded en-block clips at one time were given to GI soldiers during WWII?" Surprisingly, I didn't have a clue. :o So, how often and how much were WWII soldiers issued for their Garands? Also, same question for today's soldiers and the 5.56x45 M16A4/M4.

How to disassemble a Marlin 89-C Hey guys, I've got a Mission Impossible here... :rolleyes: I inherited a Marlin 89-C from my grandfather, and I'm trying to inspect it (really clean it) before shooting it. I unfortunately can't get the bolt out of the receiver. The bolt charging handle is...

Who hears gunfire at the stroke of midnight? What state and/or country do you live in? Definitely heard some here in Augusta, GA :uhoh:

OK, before I inadvertently start a flame thread let me explain... I understand that the M1 Carbine was one of the rifles issued to our support US troops in WWII, and many US soldiers loved using this rifle instead of a M1. I also know that this rifle has saved tens of thousands of lives...

You knew it was comming...Man, that gun show sucked! As PremiumSauces's thread said concerning reoccurring themes... Man that gun show sucked! :cuss: :fire: :mad: I went to the gun show in Augusta, GA this morning, and I was appauled by what I witnessed. There was a wide selections of $250...

I recently came across reasonably priced Yugoslavian captured German Mauser. After 30+ minutes of internal debate (Do I need a third 8mm? Is the bolt and receiver solid? Was this Mauser made at the end of WWII when quality control was waining? etc.) I bought it. :evil: When I got home and...

OK, I've always believed that you can't have too many firearms. You can own as many as you want/afford. I'm kind of thinking differently now... We just moved about 100 miles, and I now think you could own too many toys. Due to security/paranoia, I decided to move them separately from...

What the Brick?! I can't find any 550 count bulk Federal 22LR ammo here in either the outskirts of Savannah or in Athens, GA. :banghead: There is plenty of Winchester "X-pert" ($14) & Remington "Golden" ($13) Bulk boxes, yet the classic Federal is no where to be found. Rincon and Pooler GA...

I was at the Atlanta gun show last weekend, and we were told by the Sheriff's department before we entered that we were FORBIDDEN to sell or purchase firearms outside of the convention center. "All transactions are to be held inside the building only!" WTH! :what: :fire: :mad::what::fire...

While doing a little research, I came across the "Infamous Red Gun" again. :barf: It looks like after almost a year, Coliseum Gun Traders Ltd. finally gave up trying to sell this "unique" revolver. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=95433494 This got me thinking, there's...

I need some help on restoring my Garand stock. I know this has been covered several times, but apparently I'm too fried to find anything in search (pharmacy finals are going on right now). Since I'm in pharmacy school and living in a townhouse with no backyard or garage, I tried to find...

First some filler info: I've tried to follow the philosophy of using a relatively inexpensive CCW. I am in no way advocating using a "Saturday Night Special" or a POS. If you ever end up using your CCW, there is a high chance you won't see it again for months, if ever. I purchased one of...

So, do you like Soviet? Does you heart lean towards the Yugoslavian? How about Chinese? Albanian anyone? Which make do you like best? Things to ponder... 1.) Aesthetics (Yes, have a little sense of humor here) 2.) Functionality 3.) Reliability 4.) Resistance to Bubbafication 5.)...
