Nice looking old carbine. You're lucky it survived the divorce. 37 years ago none of mine did but I've got even better ones now and she is a lonely old woman who doesn't have crap.

It seems to me that this should have a higher value depending on the condition. I have a 95%+ condition RIA 1913 which the RIA museum confirmed as a NRA sales rifle and I wouldn't take a penny under...

You do not want a long gun for home defense. Try holding a rifle or a shotgun while dialing 911. Best bet is a .357 magnum revolver because a) revolvers don't jam or misfeed and b) you can hold...

I have an M1 bayonet marked 60-6 with a circlular symbol and KS on it. Who made it?

As an update, it was a Long and he came down to $60 for it so it's out in my footlocker with the rest.

I found a cartridge belt today. It has 9 pockets for 30M1 cartridges and a reinforced flat space on the front left with a snap on it for a .45 mag pouch. It was marked 6-18 and, if I remember it...

You probably are right but right now you take what you can get and besides that bolt guns will shoot most anything.

My grandsons are 14, 12 and 11. With bolt action rifles, mind you BOLT ACTION rifles, they can go through a brick in a little over 2 hours. Notice that I didn't buy the .223 or .308, just the .22s....

Got 5 bricks of .22LR Thunderbolt at the local farm store last week for $24.95 each. They had plenty but a 5 brick limit per customer. .223 Winchester was $12.95 per 20 with no limit since they had...

Thank you very much for the info. I had already pulled the bullets and the cartridges were berdan primed. Many of the cases had a split along the case neck so I had never planned to shoot them.

Our church youth group was cleaning out a garage for an old man and we found a bunch of old .30 cal M2 ball ammo. The headstamp is FNT 47 which is one I'm not familiar with and all of my books are...

Yes it has an external primer which looks to be the size of a standard large rifle primer. The case seems to be a "balloon head" which makes any measurement almost impossible. The rim thickness is...

I found an old cartridge case with no headstamp. It looks like a .45-70 round but the dimensions are wrong. A .45-70 has a case neck of .487" but this round has a case neck of .480". The case...

Thanks for the info guys!

Just picked up a box of 20 rounds of M2 ball made in England. It looks just like American M2 ball, white label with red band through center. Box is marked:

20 Cartridges
BALL
Calibre .30...

At the end of WWII, the Russian army captured millions of German small arms and munitions. Most of these were refurbished and either issued to Soviet Bloc troops or put into strategic war reserves...

Sounds great! I'll buy the tenderloins. My email is real so let me know when you're getting close to leaving for Louisville.

I could have bought a helmet and a liner at a "Used Furniture" store here two weeks ago for $20 but I don't collect helmets. The liner was complete and the helmet had it's straps too.

Here's one you can bid on. New in wrap and has the DAS on it.

For Orest to pay bayonetman's expenses since he seems to possess the expertise on bayonets. I'm like most people, I have guns and I like to have accountrements like bayonets to go along with them,...

Using a penlight and a magnifying glass, and almost standing on my head, I did finally find a very faint DA on mine and I've had it for 25 years or more. On Mike's link it does say that towards the...

According to the CMP website the new ones are "GARAND BAYONET M5A1 w/M8A1 SCABBARD - New -unissued - excellent condition (bayonet and scabbard). Price $60 each plus S&H." The one pictured shows no...

Check these out John.

When I was a kid I had a lot of WWII vets in our neighborhood. By the time I was about 12 all their wives were getting tired of dusting the stuff that they had brought back from the war and they...

If all my German Shepherd Dogs are waiting for me it will be. If my first wife is there I'm not going to be happy.
