    But don't hold your breath. The new wording says "Shall Transfer" but does not give a timetable. If the transfers are due to start in 2019 the whole program may be scrapped if Trump is not re-elected.

    The carbine in the photo appears to have been wiped down with many layers of Boiled Linseed Oil. I'm not convinced it's a varnish type finish but it could be. Either way as Tuna says it's not the...

    The story, even if plausible, has been rendered completely irrelevant because of an ill-advised and sloppy attempt to restore the rifle to it's correct "as manufactured" configuration. True rebuild...

    Aren't finger grooves in the stock normally absent in last ditch rifles? Or was that perhaps a feature of that particular manufacturer so late in the war?
