Dick,

Your mail box is full. If you send me your regular email address, I may be able to send you a pix of the 1887 I once owned. It is not a great picture, but it may help. SEND YOUR ADDRESS...

Seems hard to imagine a M1D barrel being shot out. TE over 7? A sniper's rifle normaly wouldn't get that much use to cause that much wear. I would check the barrel with a different TE gauge to make...

Does anyone know if the Social Secutity Administration or the VA is going to increase our benefits for 2014? I so, by how much? Usually by now we start to hear something about it. I'm not holding my...

Does anyone know if any US pilots were rescued during the Viet Nam War by US submarines in the Golf of Tonkin or the South Chine Sea?

Sadly, carbine magazine repairs to the lugs almost never work out. By the time you weld the lugs, file and TRY to fit them PROPERLY, you will be almost certainly be better off just replacing them. My...

Mike, I have to agree with you 100%. I had a nice supply of .45 Auto Rim brass and reloaded them with a 230 gr. FMJ bullet to GI specs. I have regreted selling it for the last 20 years. It was sold...

The star mark should be at the 6 O'Clock position on the muzzle, NOT the 12 o'Clock position as is shown. The mark itself does not seem to match the one shown in Brophy's book. Sometimes a pasteboard...

$1,500.00 to $1,750.00

Are they insured?

NEVER use anyone else's reloads. PERIOD!!!
Barreled receivers can be located without much trouble and for a fair price. How is the stock, etc.?

Be glad it was a little guy. Did he snap at you?

It's anyone's guess who numbered this bayonet, except it's safe to say that it was not done at the time of it's manufacture. I have examed a large number of Krag Bayonets and have never seen one...

If someone has a copy of Steve Dorsey's book on web belts, it should likely show up in there. Brophy's Springfield book shows several belts on pages 379 to 385. I am thinking that this belt was made...

I've reloaded many thousands of .45 ACP cases using both 230 gr. Full Metal Jacket and 200 gr. semi-wad cutters. I have never trimmed my cases. I have not reloaded or shot .45 ACP in many years. I...

The last scope & can I had went like this: 1992 or '93 -- Syracuse Gun Show -- I saw a guy showing it to another. I asked if it was for sale, answer was yes, $300.00. I bought it. Within 30 seconds,...

Nothing is showing up.

Where is this article?

Before changing the spring, check out the ammo you are using. Over the years, I have had .22 rim fire ammo that did not have enough priming compound in the rim. I'm not exactly sure how the cases are...

It sure looks US GI. The markings could have faded off.

Notice that the cartouche is doubled.

On the very early Krags, Springfield Armory hand fitted many of the parts. These parts were stamped with the serial number of the receiver. I have been away from Krags and collecting in general to...

Is the butt plate missing or is it just my old eyes?

One thing to keep in mind with these early leather slings is that they dry out and break sometimes quite easily. It's not a good idea to pick up a rifle by it's sling. I have seen them break right in...

Al Fraca's books are GREAT sources for info on the Trapdoors. Worth every penny. Thanks Al for producing these excellent works.

The blade appears to be a M3 or M4 series fighting knife of bayonet blade. The scabbard may be from a leather M3 knife scabbard.
