I got the scope knob cover from SARCO. It was an original. Complete assembly of cover, base, and hinge pin. When I tried to open it, however, the spring clip broke off, as it was rusted...

five-0: I'll let you know here, when it comes. I looked at several places, including Numrich, and all only had reproductions. SARCO's seem to be originals (I think with them, that's the default...

Hmmm - the replacement I bought (at least as shown in the photo) is the entire assembly, not just the cover. I think I'd rather take off the knob and replace the whole assembly without tapping out...

Interesting! I was in the 23rd Engineers, 3AD, and was the Task Force Engineer to 1-36 Infantry in Friedberg in 1982-83. I went to the field with them all the time, and never saw an M-1. But then,...

I just received MAJ Culver's M1D that I bought from Gloria. It came with one of the adjustment knob covers broken off - probably due to the dirtbags who stole it. Other than that, it's in...

I once got to talking with a German bus driver about their gun laws and how they have so many restrictions. He shrugged and said "Jeder hat etwas zur Seite gelegt..." (Everyone has something set...

I just got my International Harvester from the CMP, and it's a Letterkenny rebuild, electro-penciled "LEAD 8-64" on the right receiver leg. It has the original LMR 4-54 barrel. Almost all the other...

Hi - I just saw this thread. Others have pretty much answered your Q's, but I'll weigh in, as I collect these pistols. The earlier posts are right, it's not a 1915, it's a 1907. I have the Brower...

I have a very similar 1899 carbine that I purchased in Feb 2012, right after getting accepted to the Army War College. SN 358,XXX, produced in November 1901. I felt about the same as you did, not...

Sorry to read the news this morning. I had always hoped to meet MAJ Culver in person someday. I'll be thinking of him tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for your service and R.I.P.

I had a similar experience when I first started reloading. I had no concept of a crimped primer, and wondered why I had so much trouble seating primers in my once-fired military brass.

I used a...

I recently had a conversation with an engineer/ballistician who was involved in designing the new Navy sniper ammunition, which uses the 175 gr. Sierra HPBT bullet. (As an aside, the new MK 316 Mod...

I spent today at the range with a chronograph testing handloads for my M1 Garand. I finally have a handload that duplicates military M72 Match ammunition:

Caliber: .30-06
Case: FA-61 Match

Hello, Brad in Idaho. I am moving to Idaho within the next couple of years, so there will be two of us! (I am a Brad as well). Looking forward to getting there. A friend who lives there sent me...
