Bruce,
I purchased a NOS 03 extractor to replace a 03A3 extractor on my 1.3 million SA 03. Compared side by side there is a noticeable "arc" to take off 03A3 part and the...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

What is the proper way to tune (bend) the 03 extractor to increase tension?

TIA!

Thank you Men!
Something must have loosened inside as I noticed the reticle moving around as I looked through the ocular end while turning the eye piece. Hate to give up and...

I would suggest moving the front sight opposite the direction if the correction. Note: eight thousandths movement of front sight=1 MOA.

Hi All,
I recently had the opportunity to handle and fire a Model of 1873 rifle. This rifle was purchased, in person from the Franklin, NH State Armory sometime in the twenties or...

Tuna, thank you for the rapid reply! Sling well shows M-U, butt stock has the large SG (no serifs) in a box aligned with the grain (top of box pointed at the oiler) on the right side with a large...

Having just purchased a SG carbine last Friday and not having the latest info on SG stocks (my books all date to 2012 or earlier and I have, as yet, to buy the War Baby set) the question is did...

Thanks for the tips everyone! I hope to take more pics using your remarks and post to my album. Would anyone like more or closer detail?? George in NH

I would like to add that the proper spanner wrench or tool is required to loosen the nut before the knob can be lifted to gain more windage. The tool can be made by altering a screw driver blade...

Before the shift to meters from yards, the Army fired on the "thousand inch" range on a scaled silhouette target. Done properly, this method zeroed the rifle at 300 yards. Of course the sight...

Hi All,
I have been successful in getting pics to my album on my profile page. As time is limited for fun, I have, as yet, to study how to post pics to a thread. I would ask that the usual...

As I recall, genuine GI bore cleaner (before the M16) is water based with petroleum distillates. The water makes it effective against corrosive priming and the rest protects against rust. At my...

Hi All,
I have traded for a Colt 1911 Navy s/n range 39000. I need the correct sight set, complete. I also need the correct flat main spring housing, complete. Will trade USGI parts of...

Any ideas on how to remove the staked front sight from my slide? Since a former owner filed the rear sight dove tail on the slide (!) instead of the Micro itself, an original flat "u" rear sight...

Hi All,
The slide on my pistol does not have the circle around the rampant Colt. I was hoping for more suggestions about using A1 parts instead of the correct 1911 parts for my "restore". I...
