He also got most of his data for carbines the same way and much of it turned out to be wrong. One cannot use his information on carbines as the majority of it is now wrong.
You have a 2nd production run band. The first was a letter C lined up with the middle of the swivel. The second was one that lined up below the center towards the bottom of the swivel. These were...
I don't know about commercial rounds but military blanks are made with rejected cases. If not enough rejected cases found then used brass used for reloading into blanks..
There is nothing wrong with the stampings on the receive. The stock is a type 2 oval cut oiler high wood. Correct for later 1943 onward production.
Better photos of the carbine rear sight, barrel...
This would not be surplus ammo. This would have been made for commercail sales, sold to wholesellers who then passed it on to the dealers and public. For the most part I remember it being non...
Evansville Chrysler made BILLONS AND BILLIONS of rounds of steel cased .45. It still appears in guns shows or dealer shelves. Because its so corrosive primed the value is less then new imported...
In late 1943 it was decided we were heading for a huge brass shortage. Copper was in demand like never before. The military then decided in case the shortage did happen, ( it never did) that steel...
He could have simply said the problem was due to the left locking lug dragging. By doing so the timing is thrown off and the right side continues to try and unlock. Now this causes the pressure to...
A dealer friend of mine said he was talking with his sales associate with one of the big national supply outfits for the shooting sports. He told him that if he wanted small pistol primers to order...
The correct unit of measure for both Triple Seven or Pyrodex in weight by volume.
The big problem with the 38-40 seems to be the wide variation in bore diameter between firearms. Most are well over sized. The balloon headed cases were made for Black Powder and very well may not be...
When Billy Boy was President he had issued orders for all the then unusable ammo to be destroyed. Talon got the contract to make all the the M2 30-06 ammo unusable. This they did by pulling the ammo...
Expensive compared to our normal powders but very useable.
The US military wanted each carbine to have 100 magazines available. Each maker of carbines had to include magazines with each new carbine. They came in two ways. One marked for the maker of the...
I think it will all depend on how well a handgun sells that will determine if it stays in production or gets shoved back into the vault. I think maybe the .45 Colt SAA type pistols will stay but I'm...
Best as JimF said, Treat it all as corrosive. FN48, GB54 I am pretty sure are corrosive. The DAC 42 is like 50/50 corrosive so clean it as if it all is.
I would like to say to all here including Pat without whos help we would not be here, A very safe and Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you. May the joys and blessings of Christmas and our lord...
Togor you did very well to catch this one. A very nice summer of 1943 but it needs a good cleaning and lube before you shoot it. From what I can see it's all correct. So how much did you shell out...
Talk about a hazard to navigation. 1800+ containers floating around can cause a lot of damage to ships not being able to see then just on the surface.
IBM only used the type 3 plunger during all of its production. Your all set to go.
It's excellent shooting ammo. Some say made in the 50's. Some say it was in the 60's and others say it was in the 70's' I will go with the 50's or 60's. But someone's loss was the shooting publics...
The plungers are all the same not the extractors.
What extractor do you have in the bolt? As to who made it doesn't matter as the type 3 are all the same and unmarked.
Tmark, Which one do you need? They made three different ones. One and two would be more for collectors. I would recommend a type three the last one made. And as Mike said....Get a bolt tool. You will...
