Actually, I know your "vitae" fairly well....you gave it to me at a time when you weren't being quite so bilious...I save such things. BTW, you never asked me how much money I got for the OTHER...
And the FACT (as confirmed by Charles Petty!) that every one of those "hit-pieces" were bought and payed for by the "Fratelli-Reese Gang", the owners of Springfield Armory Inc. had absolutely nothing...
You are confusing what you HAVE to do, with what you CHOOSE to do! FWIW, in my very first year of competition Service Rifle, I had a DCM "loaner" M14 (so I could "qualify" for my "one in a lifetime"...
You seem to be having this central conceptual problem about "liking" a competition rifle....I don't give a $hit about what ANY competition rifle intrinsically is, but rather what it does! I don't...
Nope, but in 96, and 92 and 88, and 14, there is ONE place where my rifle commands a premium, and that is in Long Range. I can run loads in my Norinco that'll bust an SA casting! BTW...
Think about it Phil.....who the hell in this man's Army knows ANYTHING about a Garand, let alone how to fix one! The rifles are museum pieces built before most of the guys in today's Army's Great...
Bud, it was 1996, my rifle and I had just won the NRA Midwest Regional Long Range Service Rifle match (the only time I ever beat Ed Shank!). That's what good comp rifles cost back then, and my rifle...
And all THAT contraption will do is break the firing pin/hammer FASTER since you will be slamming the extension into the safety bridge, and/or stressing the hell out of the hammer as it impacts on...
The rifle was DESIGNED to be dry-fired! Doesn't hurt it a bit, and is the preferred method for shooter training. Back when I was deeply involved in competition shooting, I popped over 100 dry-fires...
Yeah.....well.....maybe so, but you SHOULD be aware that a USGI M-14 won't do that without a fair amount of "professional help" either! FWIW, my CAI-Norinco M-14 was a solid 3 MOA rifle right out of...
Skennerton's book is the "Holy Grail" of Enfield books......but it is out=of-print, difficult to find, and EXPENSIVE if you do (local prices start at $100 and go as high as $250 for used...
I've been privileged to meet and talk with the Major on a number of occasions.....up to and including him cutting grass on the Camp Perry Ranges so ORPA would have a semi-decent environment to shoot...
Our heartfelt sympathies to Gloria. God speed Major, whatever happens.
You got it in one!
To Weasel.....if you have an A4 marked as an A3......Bubba did it, not Remington. My A4 is clearly marked as such (and I'm not sure how you'd know since most of the ID would be buried under the JR...
Huh????? In what way? Oh.....FWIW, I HAVE both an A1 and an A4, and since all I did was identify the rifles, I fail to see where I'm "incorrect"!
SRS is the primary resource for your search as Johnny P has indicated. However, you have to be made aware that what you are asking is nearly impossible. The US Army wasn't all that interested in...
Relatively heavy metal fouling is not uncommon in Enfields.......unfortunately, neither are "frosty" bores due to years of corrosive primers. Where you are remains to be seen......but patience and...
Huge difference.....and you've got the basic facts a bit sideways. Great Britain had a requirement to mark EVERY military firearm that was exported out of the country. Such firearms were marked...
Actually, you both have it backwards! It's a British EXPORT mark!
Actually, it's a Savage No.4 MkI*. FWIW, Savage actually did make a handful of Mk.I's, but they were early and stopped around a "6C" SN prefix
Yet another person making noise like an engineer without the slightest clue about what engineering is! NO ONE making an engineering drawing for a production product is going to spec a fractional...
What in hell does having an alleged sub-micron measuring device have to do with machining something to those tolerances???? I know it's hard, but try to compare apples to apples, OK?
Not meaning to be picky, but it's "G-A-R-A-N-D", not "Grand"......it's a man's name, and it's impolite to misspell it! And Bud, in 1936.....NO production machine tool was going to hold a fractional...
