I have HRA 57705-- with a SA 12-53 barrel. This came from the CMP about 20 years ago. It is mostly HRA parts.
Are they still printing a newsletter? On their list they only list a few after 2000.
OK thanks now I know that I just didn't forget to renew.
Did "The Garand Stand" shutdown or did I just fail to renew? I don't remember reading anything about it shutting down.
The only thing the NRA got out of the deal was it helped promote membership the guns came from government arsenals. Needing to be a NRA member was kind of a early background check. If I remember...
I am 74 years old and started going to gunshows in the 70s. I always liked hearing the old timers tell about the good old days and what they were able to buy back then. Now those were the good old...
I agree with Tuna about the OG rebuild. Years ago I bought a QHMC at a yard sale that was OG rebuilt. It still had the original type 1 band and JQ front sight. Also was in a high-wood IO stock. Most...
I have just mailed them a copy for the last 30 years and have no idea what they do with them.
Serial no. 1,047,2-- seems a little late to have a dated barrel to me. I have two earlier a 1031--- and a 1045--- both with undated WRA barrels.
It made me feel bad knowing all those fine rifles had been rendered inoperable. What a waste of our tax money they just have to much.
Both Inland and Winchester both used several different types of triggerhousing during their 4 years of manufacturing. A late Inland part in a early Inland would be no more correct than would be a...
US&S also manufactured receivers and other parts for NPM too.
Jack the dog always gets the best stuff and he knows how to show it in the best light. He knows just what to photo and always gets it in the best light to show what you want to see. His photos are...
Today is a very sad day having just received the "FINAL ISSUE" of the "CARBINE CLUB NEWSLETTER" #384. Having been a member since the mid/80s it is almost like a death in the family.
I have both of their books and am looking forward to the third one. They are well worth the money if you are into K98ks.
I think you may be talking about the "For Collectors Only" series book U.S. M1 Carbines,Wartime Production. I know he was in contact with them and promoted their books some in the newsletter. I don't...
That was a lot of very interesting photos. Thanks for sharing. Just when I would think well that is about it. I would open another page of even more interesting photos.
Yes let me add my thanks that you are back to normal. The other setup was OK, but just didn't seem right. Now the everything just seems right.
You have what looks like a very nice original early carbine. I have one question, is your triggerhousing drilled for the hammer spring? I have read that about the first 10,000 were not drilled. I...
Don't duffle cut your stock you don't have a long rod. It is screwed into that round piece of metal that is held in place back screw.
I know what you are talking about. Years ago I watched THC all the time. Now I almost never watch it. I don't think my interests have changed, just what they show. I don't have any interest in that...
It sounds like a series 6 to me. You don't say if the bolt was matching. However if it was they safety is incorrect. Some photos would help and a series 6 wouldn't have had a bolt cover.
I was a member for a few years. However after a few years they got to thinking they were so good they were worth $50.00 a year for membership. They were nowhere near as good as the original Carbine...
Looks like you got a good carbine at a good price. In that serial number range you should have a early type 2 receiver. In that range the hole for the slide stop is drilled all the way through the...
