    M1 Drill Rifle Stocks

    If anyone was following this thread, we found the place that makes the stocks thanks to some guys on the CMP boards. H & W MOLDING, INC., EVANSVILLE, IN These stocks are for the practice rifles. They get beat up and broken often. The show/competition rifles have wooden stocks.

    M1 Drill Rifle Stocks

    Anyone know of a source for the brown plastic stocks used by drill teams on the M1 Garand? Local ROTC unit is in need for replacement stocks. Saw the ones at CMP south a few months ago but they only sell the stocks with the rifle.

    I finally got an M-1 Garand. What do the markings mean? (Lots of pics)

    Congrats on the M1. I bought my first one today too. No pictures though.

    Ruger 10/22 Rebuild

    I guess I'll give some updates on this project. I've got the trigger housing group apart and just about cleaned. This rifle has for sure been left out in the mud or in the woods. Used a combination of simple green and brake cleaner along with a toothbrush, Q-tips, and one of those small...

    Ruger 10/22 Rebuild

    Thanks for the links. I am just going to make the rifle "stock" for now. What I mean by rebuild it take each part off and clean them. I guess that's what we call cleaning anyways. :) For something like this, I am thinking I need to soak all the parts in cleaner. I've heard brake cleaner...

    Ruger 10/22 Rebuild

    I bought a Ruger 10/22 that was rough on the outside (someone had spray painted the barrel and stock). I figured it would make a nice project. Come to find out that the thing has most likely been left out in the rain or something because the trigger housing was full of gunk and there was light...

    This gets so old so fast, but I may have over-reacted.

    You did fine. I love how some people think its OK to play all these video games where you go around killing everything but then get all freaked out when they get a dose of reality.

    Central IL Gunshops

    There's a pawn shop on University that has an assortment of firearms. There's a gunshop in Westville and another out of Shelbyville. Someone mentioned the Rantoul pawn shop too.

    Illinois Members; Constitutional Convention?

    Illinois is a nice place if you were to get rid of Chicago and its suburbs. Someone mentioned it earlier, but I would think the only way that there will be any change would be if a) the normal part of Illinois separated from Chicago or b) the state gov't makes such a big foul up (bankruptcy...
