I understand about AO 1911's. It wasn't a choice I made. I just figured since I had it I might as well try to make it functional/reliable.
This pistol presently has a doubled recoil spring. Feeding is unreliable. After doing some searching I found that Wolff has this spring; Colt Officer/P12 .45 FD STD Recoil Spring (22LB) that is...
I have two CMP Winchester (receivered) SG's. A friend wants to purchase them. One is U.S. SG, the other is Danish return SG (w/VAR barrel). What would be a fair market price for these?
Appreciate the help. I've got it back together and functioning. It is fairly easy when you do it right... I wasn't getting the barrel into the slide in the proper position (a little tricky) before...
Field stripped this little pistol to inspect and lube. It took some fiddling to get the barrel and slide off and it's now a problem getting it back together. Trying to get the barrel to re-engage...
Took my granddaughter to the range Sunday. She likes shooting the carbines. The Rockola I took is a good shooter, but it started failing to go into full battery occasionally. Had to tap the bolt...
Well, this has been interesting. On another forum I have gotten quite an education about this K98. It is a bit of a mix master. It has a replacement barrel and it appears some of the bolt parts...
Art, Thanks for the reply. The bore is VG. Shiny with good rifling. I have had this one to the range and it shot well even using surplus Turkish ammo. I did clean correctly for corrosive ammo...
Click on the link below for pics of the German K98. Got this rifle 20 or so years ago from a friend (deceased). He said it was a WWII bringback that a guy had traded to him for some car repairs...
I purchased this K98 from a friend years ago. He told me it was a WWII bringback (no import marks, but no paperwork) that a guy had traded to him for some mechanic work in the 50's or 60's when he...
Thanks lyman, what I read there says to me I can sell with my C&R to a Washington C&R holder which is what I thought.
I recently sold a C&R semi-auto rifle to a guy from Washington. Washington laws require a transfer of a firearm to a Washington resident be made by a Class 01 BATFE licensed dealer. I have a C&R...
You may not have had to apply for a medical deferment, but I thought for a student deferment, or consciences objector status you had to apply and provide some proof of being a student or membership...
Just wondered...
Served in the Navy from January '65 to December '67 (kiddy cruise). Never applied for a deferment from the draft, enlisted just before I turned 18 to fulfill my military obligation. I never was...
Thanks Mike, I don't want to sell parts but if there is something that rare on the rifle it would be a selling point for it. I'll research that.

Prices in Idaho are mostly on the lower end unless you find a collector who keeps up with values. Closest "big" show in this region is in Spokane, WA (about 115 miles away). I've never sold at a...
I honestly don't remember. I have had these rifles for 10 to 12 years and documented them when I first got them. I'm thinking the info was online somewhere. Can anyone provide a link to accurate...
Thanks, any thoughts on this Rock-Ola?
That was not my intention. I apologize to anyone who thinks I was being a wise ass or questioning their knowledge. Your answers to my post about value of some Carbines I want to sell has motivated...
Rock-Ola (Oct-Dec 1943) has a Rock-Ola barrel dated 5-43 P under band/bayo lug
Quality Hardware (July-Sept 1943) Underwood barrel dated 12-43 flaming bomb and a P
Saginaw (sometime between May...
I am in the process of photographing each of these rifles. Pics are exterior with rifles assembled. When I'm done, I'll post them here. At least they will be an indicator of condition.
Note...
No offense. I don't mean to be short but I also don't want to sell to someone who just wants to scavenge parts. If that means they go for less, I'm OK with that. Anyone who questions what parts...
I will not do a data sheet for each. I am NOT selling these rifles for parts. They are shooters, they are mixmasters and I really don't want to see them sold to someone who just wants to part them...
