Here's one that I saw take place:

Never, never say, "My mommy says" to start a sentence to a drill sergeant. The drill sergeant will respond with, "Did your mother kiss your *ss goodbye when you...

I had bought two of these Model of 1917 rifles. The two I had purchased came out of the CMP and were used my the American Legion, so the story goes. In both cases the barrels first six inches in...

Sounds like the rifle as an example for starting the Winchester Educational contract. The just of the documents seems to indicate GFE (Government Furnished Equipment) for the beginnings of a...

Too bad someone messed with it. It looks like a Model of 1922 M1 that was not updated to a (MII) M2. Is the M1 magazine missing or converted to single shot? Finding M1 parts are like looking for...

Another way is to replace the rear sight with a Parker Hale PH5B rear sight. You will also have replace the side bolt release and spring with one from a P14 rifle. The Parker Hale PH5B is a target...

Art-- Please give me a few days to post pictures. Thanks for your help.

Art-- as promised several pics of my M2. Just one observation, the M2 does not appear to be as well finished and fitted as...

Art-- The bottom of the bolt is electro-penciled with the serial number of the rifle. Is there any way to tell if the rifle is a conversion from a sub-caliber training device?

The stock does have a Circle P and SA over a D on the left side of the stock.

Thanks for the information, guys. The M2 is my third M1922 series rifle. I have two Model 1922 M1s that were upgraded to M2 specs. I am not so much a collector, more of a shooter and I love rifles...

Thanks for sharing!!

Yea -- Me too!!

Merc-- Thanks for the information on the SS American Victory. Just a point of order, the SS American Victory is not a liberty ship it is a Victory class ship, the liberty ship was a smaller, earlier...

Merc-- the SS Patrick Henry was the first Liberty ship built.

JB-- I believe the heart was a Remington inspector's marking. I have seen that marking on other Remington rifles.

Merc-- I suspect that Eddystone was using subcontractors in the Philadelphia/southern NJ Area to supply rifle stocks for the production rate they were achieving in WWI. The Victor Talking Machine...

Quite true. I was in the first year of the last Gulf war. My TO&E weapon was a M9 Beretta Pistol. I felt like I was running around naked with that "pop" gun while the Iraqi were generally...

That's better! Thanks

Too small to read.

Just a quick comment here. The Circle with the Star was a marking to indicate the Winchester rifle had been inspected and found it be within specification. The main problem was that Winchester...

Yea - What you said.

The only failures that I have seen are from home builders who forget to stake the gas key screws to the bolt carrier, failure to properly align the gas block and failure to clean the firearm. Most...

Reminds me of a female drill sergeant back in the late 70's, when she barked out to her all female recruit platoon, "When I called you to attention I want to hear those clams snap!" LOL!! Of course...

In their day they were it until the S&W Model 52 came out. I own both too and have shot them in competition.
