Thanks Jon. One of these days... you're going to have to come shoot with us!
Howdy all,
For those shooting in the Theodore Roosevelt Match next week, We'll be meeting for dinner at 6:30 on Thursday evening at Dock's Beach House Restaurant in Port Clinton (same place as...
It couldn't have landed in better hands Dick!
And as usual... Dick is the voice of reason! I totally forgot about the School gun with the turned down muzzle... but I wasn't sure about the serial number. Sounds like you have a Krag with a story...
Pictures can help identify what you have. The serial number is paramount to telling if it started life as a carbine. 1898 carbines fall into a very specific serial number range and are often faked,...
I visited the USS Olympia C-6/CA-15 when I was in Philadelphia on business. While touring the ship, I struck up a conversation with one of the volunteers and discovered that we both served in the...
I go on FB to connect with old/good friends (like you and I talk there Mark)... but leave the political BS, so called "Expert" opinions, and other crap aside. I've seen quite a lot of...
Not necessarily in Shelby Township... but Tim Shufflin from Shuff's Parkerizing in Lenore, MI - http://shuffsparkerizing.com/ is a top Garand guy! He only works on Garands and their variants (M1A,...
A Very Merry Christmas to all!
For me, cost is ALWAYS a factor, which is why I purchased the Berry's. In my Taurus .45 Millennium Pro, they perform just fine and dandy. I don't do a lot of high volume shooting... just some...
I want to be in your will Chuck! LOL
Dick's right... Win-Win!
I've loaded the Berry's Plated 185 gr and 220 gr bullets for .45 ACP. Just use the standard load data for jacketed bullets based on bullet weight for these.
Pardon my ignorance... but with the cleaning rod kit, whether it came in the paper packaging or cardboard tube with the metal end caps... once you open the package, the kit inside is the same. It's...
Awesome find!!! Wish I could get lucky like that....
+1 on what dave said. If it's production military 30-06 or 7.62x63MM Ball ammo, it's produced to match the specifications of all M2 ammo and should be safe in Garands and 1903s.
If you go to the National Rifle Matches in July at Camp Perry, there is no shortage of venders with oilers, grease pots and other items that are correct. You'll also find new cleaning kits in the...
I also agree 100%! Buy it and go bag a deer. This would be a great candidate for restoration, as well as a very inexpensive introduction to Krags and all of their quirks. You could certainly do a...
As far as I know, they would have had to been an "As Issued" service rifle. That's definitely the case now-a-days! Anyone who scores a gold medal is required to have the rifle inspected, and if...
Amen to that!
By the way, Tim Schufflin of Schuff's Parkerizing is a great guy and an amazing gunsmith who specialises in M1s and their variants only. You could do a lot worse!
Interesting, because I have witnessed 1917s out shoot 1903s and 1903A3s many times in CMP matches, AND at Camp Perry in the National Matches!
My brother-in-law came by and gave me a box of various ammo. In it was several boxes of various cartridges and shotgun shells and a few other odds and ends. What interested me however, was the 174...
Yeah, I am going to tuck the powder away in the back of my safe and hold on for a day when I can get a flintlock! I won't use it for anything else.
Thanks very much for all of the replies and...
I thought I would post these questions because I know that there are some really smart cookies here!
My brother-in-law found an old pound of Dupont FFFFg powder in his mother's house buried in a...
I have a full box of the 45-70 blank ammo, marked "For Line Throwing Guns" and headstamped WRA-43. When I acquired it (it was given to me), it was unopened. Unfortunately, I was young and...
Well... I've done a few things with regard to this problem:
1. I seated the bullets a hair deeper.
2. I cleaned and checked everything very thoroughly to ensured nothing was hanging up.
3. I...
