Hello Musketjon, right you are, Brea Rifle and pistol club. Brooks does a fine job of running the matches. It is a bit of a drive, but hope to see you at one of the CMP matches, no need to be a...

Recently joined a small S. Calif Gun club which once had very thriving CMP match program which we are trying to re-energize. I volunteered to clean and oil the match rifles, many of which probably...

All sold, thanks

Thank you sir, I just posted my LC for 11 cents ea, as I am saving my HXP to reload someday (move in to new house 10 yrs ago and barely have reloaded since.)

Squaring away the garage and like to clear out a couple items.
Have a Garand barrel, WWII SA 5-44, shows usual use of corrosive ammo, TE of 5.5, MW between 2-3, pads chromed, import mark. REDUCED...

It is curious that some M1 rifles (most that I own) don't dent brass, but one of them does. Perhaps it's a function of op rod spring strength?

Sorting through some old cases and noticed one of my rifles was damaging the brass during ejection.

Anybody know the cause/cure?

Probably about 300-400, still sorting, LC once fired, '69 and early 70s.

UPDATE: Found another box, it will be upwards of 1,000 pieces,.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I suspect you're right. I hate to see them go to waste if there's somebody putting together a wall hanger or a rifle they can use for rapid-fire drills with no guilt....

Just about to run out of some Ed's Red bore cleaner a pal gave me. I have some old green cans of GI bore cleaner. One even has "POISON" on it in big letters. How does it compare to the home brew or...

Mr K- The firing pin not welded, the receiver was where the pin holding the trigger went through. I am ordering a new firing pin and springs, but from the photo you can see what I mean about the...

Thanks GWP, that's cool. With that and the Gun Digest disassembly book, I can really get myself in trouble!

Having recently retired (ok- “downsized”), I will have more time to go through the armory and hunt down pesky quirks.

In the early 60’s at about 13, I got my first firearm. It...

Sorry for delay in reply, spent a couple days in hospital getting spine surgery. Based on the above, for $10 more, think it wise to get the whole trigger group. I have the .22 disassembly book on...

Well Sir,
I'll take any excuse to go to the range. The 511 is SO accurate, however the bolt did dismount about 2 out of 50 times, in spite of the cleaning. I already ordered the Gun Digest book of...

Hello KCW,
Excellent suggestions. I went out this morning and bought the brake spray. Using a really bright flashlight and magnifying glasses, I could look down into the trigger group and see that...

Thank you, that makes perfect sense. I looked at the schematic, boy there are a lot of little parts that are enclosed within the box, and not easy to get to. I couldn't find any online videos on...

There seems to be some Remington 500 series fans out there. Perhaps someone is familiar with this problem: Years ago I picked up a used 511x for $75. It is wicked good accurate. About every 10th time...

Other than swapping parts out to replace a glitchy one, I think it's a gunsmith job. I'd tread very lightly with trigger work on an autoloading rifle. I had a smith do a trigger job when he glass...

Anybody who takes so much glee in insulting people who disagree with him is suspect from the beginning. Rather than have a discussion he wants to throw bombs and get attention. He's wrong in many of...

Thanks, That is a great troubleshooting resource!

My 5.6 HRA bolt is not staying locked back after firing when single loading during fun vintage match last weekend. What worn part should I be suspecting?
Thanks,
Jebb

How's the bore? Instructie sounds like a training rifle= shot a lot. Good price, how much matches? I once found a VZ 24 action, paired it with a new surplus 20" 7x57 barrel, and camo rustoleum...

Hello Doug,
As of this writing, it is back in stock.
