Has anyone out there removed the bayonet stud from the flash suppressor ? If so would your recommend grinding it off or cutting it off ?

I was unaware of Maxwell carrying an 03 in Korea. I saw a picture of Stilwell carrying one in China during WWII.

I think you mean Gen. Joseph Stilwell. See Attached.

I have come across 7.62 Ammo with a head stamp that I'm not familiar with. It is stamped ZV at 12 o'clock 69 at 5 0'clock and 7.62 at 7 o'clock.
It also has a black colored primer. Any information...

I bought a taller front sight for my Argentine 1891 rifle and would like to tap out the old sight. Should I tap it out from left to right or right to left?
Thanks in advance.

My O3A3 would not close on '72 HXP from the DCM. It closes fine on 1960's vintage Lake City, 1943 EW, 1942 Denver & 1945 FA. Haven't tried any commercial ammo. But I took a HXP '72 that was...

Nice job. Were did you get the apoxy?

Thanks for the responses.

First Battalion
Company K
17th USA Infantry.

I Forgot the most important item the serial number is 451303.

]I picked up a Model 1898 Krag with all markings crisp. Stock cartouche of J.S.A./1903. The butt stock is stamped with a 1/K/17 ( 1 in Long) over W E STOUT (.125 in long). Can any one check the...

Where can I get replacement front sight to lower my point of impact. Thanks in advance.

Interesting. Thanks

While sorting thru another batch of range brass I came across one case I thought was a 30 06. Upon closer inspection the head is stamped KYNOCH/9.3 mm M. Should I collect it or toss it? Thanks in...

Simple explanation is they all died and no body was left to impart the knowledge.

I soaked some 30-06 HXP brass in a cleaning solution of one cup of water, 1/4 cup of vinegar, table spoon of ajax dish soap and table spoon of ammonia water. The cases came out clean but coated...

I picked up some 30 06 ammo and most rounds were GI surplus from WW2. Once in a while some of them had their heads stamped PETERS 27 and the primer pocket looks like a gov't crimp up to &...

My father-in-Law & a much older cousin of mine were both on Okinawa for the battle there, I was there in 1970-71. They told me that after the island was secure there were dumps of small arms over...

Nice set of wheels. Is that a Packard?

You hit it on the head. That's the information I was looking for. Thanks

Stabilized the front sight and went to the range this weekend. Windage was fine but elevation was stringing up & down which is my fault it was difficult to get a good sight picture. Also the...

Thanks guys I'll work on it. Then shoot it.

Just the blade of a regular sight.

The front sight on my 1898 Krag is loose. It wobbles left to right. What is the best procedure to tighten it back up.
Thanks in advance.

I have a repro cast hammer that looks like the hammer in the picture. Take a look at the hammer closely and see if you can find seams on the under side of the nose and the back of the thumb piece as...
