      M1 garand loads

      Figured I’d ask the brain trust this. So I have 4 garands. 3 are CMP service and one is CMP rack. My one service grade cycles flawlessly on 39.6gr of H335 with a 150gr pill. My other two run albeit a little begrudgingly on 41-42.5gr. Then my rack grade won’t cycle on anything less than 45gr. I...

      Styer S9A1

      I was just heard about these for the first time today and I’ve never even seen one before today let alone held one in a shop. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any opinions? They seem like a pretty cool option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Misspelled address on 03FFL

      I just got my 03FFL in the mail last night but they misspelled my address. They changed the A to an O and I looked back at my copies of the original paperwork and I definitely didn’t misspell it. My question is: does this matter or do I need to contact ATF and have it fixed before I can use...

      Winchester 69-A 80A or 80B Sights

      Does anyone happen to have a set of sights or mainly the rear sight assembly for a Winchester 69-A? If I have done my research right it is a set of 80A sights. Edit: Or now where I can get one? Nurmich and Ebay don't have any.

      Should I sand and refinish my 1945 lee enfield #4 mk1?

      I got a #4 mk1 a couple days ago and last night I started taking it apart to do the normal surplus cleaning. The stock had a small crack on the front top hand guard where the middle barrel band goes over, which I want to repair so the crack does not get worse. The stock is all the same dark...

      Spark for pushing National constitutional carry?

      I’m not sure if this has been talked about in the Kenosha thread or not, but what do you guys think about this (the Kyle Rittenhouse self defense shooting) possibly being what pushes them to pass national constitutional carry laws? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
