Be careful with familiar E Mail addresses too. I've gotten E mail from family and friends that contains links that are viruses. Their accounts were hacked and they were unaware of the mail that I...

Which tool are you referring to? The Bolt disassembly tool or the M10 combination tool that is stored in the butt stock?

You guys are tough critics. That rifle looks like a beautiful, original finish M1 to me; metal and wood. It looks like it may have been issued and has minor wear and dings. The cartouche looks nice....

When it is all said and done, the increasingly widespread chemical pollution of young brains will found to be the primary cause of these homicidal rampages.

...and the massive psychotropic drugging of children?

If that were the case, the bar would have to be under the follower.

Abrasive?...no thanks

I've seen a few OP rods with a chip off the bottom of the cam. These chips are miniscule and have no effect on functioning in my experience. I have never seen a bent rod or even a photo of one.

Is this the correct site? http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/

I've noticed that traffic on most forums has declined. Some say it's due to the popularity of Facebook. Perhaps it's just that the...

Sounds normal to me. I can see the spring with all of my M1's.

I have read about similar failures that involved .455 rounds used against drugged and tightly bound fanatical Moros. Stopping their charges with almost any firearm was an iffy proposition.

I can see the beginning of the word 'Springfield' stamped on that one.

That is so true.

A totally false accusation that refuses to die.
It is amazing that so many people still cite 'the possibility of thumb injury while loading' as a "design defect" of the M1.

With an empty M1 rifle, if you push the follower down with a stick, the op rod will not release until it almost bottoms out. But, if you put any rearward pressure on the op rod handle while doing...

A new spring should not make your rifle that difficult to load. Check inside the op rod tube for any obstructions. It is not uncommon to find sections of broken springs in there. That would...

I caught the 'M1 Thumb while loading' comment too but it's a common misconception that's been out there for a long time so I'll cut him some slack. I also disagree with his statement that M1...

Again, M1 Thumb is impossible when loading a full clip. No need to block the op rod handle with the edge of your hand. In fact putting any pressure on the op rod when inserting a clip can cause op...

It is physically impossible to load a full clip + 1 in the chamber. That's why it is impossible to chamber your thumb while loading a full clip; the rifle always loads that top round. The rising...

100% correct; it's amazing that so many people still believe they can get their thumb crushed when loading an M1. Careless handling of an empty rifle is the cause of M1 Thumb.

I have a CMP Rock Island 03 that is stamped PAOD on the receiver over the serial number.

Although this is an M1 test, may as well post it here for anyone who hasn't seen it. The lesson learned is that firearms don't function when filled with dirt rocks or mud. Seal or protect the action...

Interesting.....
