Just checked my Norico and that's how mine is.

CMP .308 Special - all SA components as far as I have taken it apart. Receiver is from 1952 and it's officially my favorite rifle.

My order was received on 1/25, DBU on 2/8 and nothing since. I have learned that I really am NOT the patient kind.

mbenepe is right - here's the link http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/MILITARY/united_states_army_tc_9-56%20-%201_october_1969.pdf

I sold my AR-15 safe queen and am waiting on my .308 CMP Special. Thanks to all who have posted some great info - can't wait for my first Garand.

Can't believe I missed this thread for so long - maybe because I've been ignoring my smoky friends and need to get back into this. Anyway, here's my ROA and I'd be proud to be a member of the club.

I think a ranch rifle is a lot like a truck gun - it needs to be rugged, powerful enough to deal with most anything you're likely to encounter and something you don't mind getting a little dirty or even a little banged up. That said, the one I have with me in the truck and on my land in N...

You will find that re-loading is very common - most people bring what they carry and when you need to re-load you do it. I couldn't afford the week long class so I'm just speaking from experience with their CCW course, but for me it was more important to keep it real and just carry 2 spare...

I have an M44 with the same problem. The first round sticks, but 2-5 are just fine. Thanks for the ideas.

I recently sold an older CVA rifle kit and went to FedEx to get a shipping price. I handed them the stock, barrel and a bag with the hardware so they could weigh it - there wasn't much question about what it was. Got the price quote and it was acceptable to the buyer so I went back with it...

I tried some Silver Bear HP rounds in my AR and had a lot of feeding problems - due to following this issue on the internet I made the assumption that it was the ammo but now I'm re-thinking this. I was using some milsurp OKAY mags and I'm going to try again with some new Magpuls. The cost...

I've done a lot of online research about this and am on a waiting list for a 995. One of the deciding factors was the level of customer support that is evident whenever you read a thread about Hi Point firearms. If yours stopped working and you haven't contacted them you're missing something.

I've been very happy with my Firestorm 380 but I find that I carry my Polish P83 more often. The Bersa is just a little too big for the caliber - I have a true pocket gun in the caliber (BG380) and for the size I'd rather carry 9x18. The Bersa is still a favorite for the range though.

My choices narrowed down to the LCP or the BG380 and I took the Smith & Wesson mostly because or ergonomics and the much better sights. No regrets at all - really a fine little pistol.
