Looking for the drilled clip block that replaces the stripper clip guide on an M14/M1A. Not a Springfield Armory block as the holes do not align.
Thank you.

Tube looks like it is brass. I'm pulling this out of my fifth point of contact, but i would guess it is off a piece of ordnance. A deck gun on a ship (WWI or older)?
SA Inc. stopped selling scopes several years ago, so does anyone know how they honor their "lifetime warranty" if a 20-year old scope breaks? My understanding from reading various old forums is that...
Be your own Santa. First time out of the safe in probably 8 years!
Yes, the Remington stamp is offset.
The major flaw: It has been re-barreled with a (pristine 9-43) 2-groove 1903a3 barrel,...
Derrick,
I sent you a message with a website that has a knee mortar for sale.
I had a beautiful IHC LEAD rebuild (electropenciled). Your greenish color is correct for a LEAD rebuild.
I knew this one was righteous the moment I saw it. The auction house just had it listed as an M1 Garand. It is a 6 million with all the final upgrade stamps on the barrel, texbook bedding, marked...
A few years back I bought a Type 2 NM rifle at auction. It had no paperwork, but I could tell it was correct. When I sent my $25 to the CMP, they sent me a typed letter stating the rifle was sold...
I've seen two for sale recently under $1000. Again, I have only heard you want a GI bolt. I have no problem owning Chinese AKs, SKSs, etc., but something deep inside won't let me own a Chinese M14....
I am not sure about those Iran numbers. I thought Iran bought about 100,000 M1 Garands (with a preference for IHCs)?
Did I mention the cheapskate part? Just before the unfortunate Sandyhook school shooting I was in the ammo buying mood and stocked up on M80 even though it was outrageously priced at $0.40 per round....
Well, I haven't quite gotten it down to $10 a box. My concern having done some more research since my initial post is the quality and consistency varies greatly from lot to lot. Some lots shoot...
Cogratulations. The "golden age" M1A rifles fall below somewhere in the 63,000 serial number range. They are considered "nicer" because, well, they were built with love. The assembly and fit received...
It isn't super old. Brown box LC M118 Special Ball, but I don't have the dates.
What is a reeeaaallly, reeeaaally good price for m118 ammo? I have been offered 4 cases and the cheapskate in me needs a unbeatable deal.
Thanks.

I guess it is probably worth $25 to see if there is DCM paperwork. I knew the owner and he had it pre-CMP.
I would have no way of proving it, but all the parts are relatively pristine like they were all new when they went on and the rifle didn't see much service. 5-45 barrel and lock-bar.
I hate to post money related questions, but I have a rifle I am ready to sell. It is a 4-digit receiver that looks like it had a 1945 rebuild. All the parts are correct for a 3.4-3.7 million rifle.

Both barrels have an "A" stamped under the date. I had been told in the past that it signifies a reclaimed barrel approved for reuse, but I don't know if it is true, or not.
I believe H1 is from Singapore. I have 200 rounds in a can somewhere. I will double check.
The "soldiers" manning the fort today on Mackinac Island (a great place to visit, BTW) are still armed with real trapdoors. I can't say they are original to the fort, but there are (or were) a number...
Why don't you just ask them? They are still around in Lapeer, Michigan.

Well, my son's first report is the rifle performed much better than the shooter. Apparently, the target is the size of a 1/2 dollar at 50 feet. So on the benchrest he obtained a good zero, but not as...
I picked up a CMP Kimber .22 for my son who joined his college's shooting club. Is there anything that needs to be tweaked before I drop it off? Lube points (outside the obvious) to hit with grease...
