I think this is a scam. Everything they have is too good to be true. Has anybody actually received anything from them?

This is a little late but I have paper patched minie balls to get the diameter larger for cartridge guns. My first 50-70 cartridges were done this way. It worked as a stopgap for me but may be fine...

Interesting. I had not heard that. I thought the eagle head proofs made it original issue not a replacement.

Thanks for the move. I missed the 1917 forum. I didn't scrol down enough.

I know this is a 1903 forum but this was the closest I could find. Has anybody ever seen a 1917 stock with an "O" on the tip? The picture may look like a C but it's an O. It has the WWI eagle head...

Thank you very much Dick. I never surprised by that answer. They are all marginal examples but they would be worth fixing up if they had history.

Cool stories and I enjoyed them. Can anybody look mine up since Dick proves I'm not limited to one?

My hit was a 1903 Springfield that was sent from Pearl Harbor back to Springfield for rebuild...

Can somebody please check on trapdoors:

I have had one hit in my life so I have probably reached my quota.

Thanks you very much for your help!

Thank you for the replies. I did not want to miss something for lack of knowledge.

Am I correct that a 1917 SA receiver with a 10-17 RIA barrel is a rebuild? The barrel date is basically correct for the serial number. Were there any cases of an RIA barrel used in this time frame?...

Thanks for the info but I was meaning real 1960's vintage US GI mags. I have enough Checkmates and Springfield Armory ones to last me. I picked up two older ones in a trade and didn't know how the...

What are USGI M14 mags going for now? Used but not abused condition. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Tom. It never hurts to ask.

I picked up a Second Model Maynard Carbine this week. It is serial number 8214. Can somebody look it up on SRS and see if it there is a hit? Thanks!

I have not noticed muzzle flash with the BM-59 break. I need to watch it from the side. I added the Schuster gas plug to reduce the op rod pressure to the point it just cycles the action enough to...

Before the November election I was concerned about a potential ban on magazine fed rifles. Luckily we won the elections! I wanted an M1A SOCCOM but I saw a Shuff's Mini-G and decided to build a...

Thanks everyone. I did not expect it to be Vietnam War era. I have one box of 1970's US Military 00 Buck shells kicking around some where. I've put the ammo box back to it's original use now. It...

Sellier & Bellot Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets at MidwayUSA for $69.99 for 250 rounds. The as-delivered price for me was $0.33 for 500 rounds.

I just wanted to share a picture of an ammo box I picked up. I thought it was cool. Interesting it says 120 rounds. I could get 175 rounds in 25 round boxes in it easily. You could probably get...

Thank you very much.

I picked these up on an auction site. I didn't need both but accidentally won both.

Smith 2916
Gallager 6853

I don't know if these models were even listed but thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info Tom!

I'll at least add some pictures. Noting special. Somebody has to own ugly guns! The bore looks good though.

I know this is not the right Forum but it gets more traffic than Black Power. I also know that Burnsides are not one continuous serial number range. I have a 5th Model marked Model of 1864 serial...

Thanks for the info. I was not clear. The groove is too narrow to fit over the sight. Not too short but too narrow.
