Two years ago I bought a USGI Model 1911 from Cabela's for a great price. It had been arsenal rebuilt and has a nice matching parkerized finish. It has a WWII 1911A1 Remington Rand slide and a Colt...

P.O. Ackley describes shooting 30-06 through a 6.5mm Japanese rifle in his books. Several shots if I remember properly before the bolt locked up.
That's almost $685 in today's dollars after adjusting for inflation.. No small amount of money.
Today will be the good old days in a few years. I remember when the Danes and CMP began grading...
Has anyone seen any of the new stock at the CMP?
I've heard that a new batch of Garands is starting to hit the shelves.

I think th eboards history of outages hurt it also. I started on the original CSP back in the mid-90s. Back then the CMP didn't have their own forums they referred people to CSP. We had people like...
Thanks,
It is in poor condition which would be about right for the $700 price tag.

A local dealer has a Stevens 520 riot gun. It is in fair condition with US and flaming bomb stamps. Any idea of a value range? Sorry no photos, the dealer was not comfortable with the camera coming...

Selling a very nice M1 Carbine Case. 1944 Shane with a solid zipper and , leather intact, and just a few spots. This a real case not a reproduction.
The maker's mark and the US marking are...
Anyone submit a packet for the CMP 1911 auction? I haven't and won't. But I'm always interested in what's coming out of the CMP.

I remember that .222 Remington Police Surplus Ar-15s were being sold in Shotgun News in the early 1980's. Never bought one because .223 was cheaper even then.
I wonder what this guy screwed up. It looks like he was using a holster...

Don't forget the Valmet 412 in various calibers and gauges from .222 to 9.3 x 74
What's the story behind "Collector's Guide to Colt .45 Service Pistols, Models of 1911 and 1911A1" ?
The prices are crazy. I have a third edition copy in great shape that I am thinking of...
I opened up my reloading cabinet yesterday and saw that something happened to my bottle of 4064. The cabinet is in a temperature controlled space and I hadn't noticed any issues earlier with the...
Found one, thanks.
Thanks
I picked up a nice buck in Ohio. We caught the tail end of the rut and he came running down a ridge, followed by a second buck, about 1:00 in the afternoon. I shot him when he reached the bottom of...
I couldn't wait for the CMP. Picked up a mix-master M1911A1 today, from Cabela's no less. It's an Augusta Arsenal rebuild with a Remington-Rand slide on a circa 1918 Colt frame. The finish is uniform...
I picked up a mix-master M1911A1 - it's all USGI except the barrel bushing.
I'm looking for a parkerized barrel bushing for an Augusta Arsenal rebuild Rem-Rand slide on a Colt frame.
What do...
I think it would need to be restocked to make any real difference. Modern ammo may help also The 03A4 was not particularly accurate. I don't know why you'd need the Picatinny rail. The standard...
I have two. One with optics the other with iron sights. Both will digest about any ammo you feed them. As long as it goes off it feeds and ejects. My wife had problems with the Ruger 22/45 but no...
There is an IHC on GB with a photo showing British proof marks on the barrel. It's too late for a lend lease gun. Any ideas how it went to the UK and came back to the states.

I’m thinning the herd to fund some other projects.
The rifle is a correct M1903A4 that appears fresh from arsenal rebuild, correct 7/8" rings, and an M84. The scope is not as nice as the rifle...
Thanks gents
