Something else that's interesting is you can decap a case with a live primer in it, and that won't set it off :D

I bought some new 30'06 brass retail at bass pro shops last weekend, and it was .40 per. I think .10 for used would be a quite fair price.

Gwinnett county, GA, at the N. Atlanta Trade Center. There's actually the same show coming up this weekend, and I'll be there!

Yeah, it's the "service special", and I believe the barrel numbers match the receiver, although I'm a bit too much of a noob to know for sure. What they told me at the CMP store was that it's essentially a collector grade, only without the original stock. Not shooting today, I'm working my...

Sadly, I have misplaced his contact information. He had four at the show and was mostly doing it as a hobby. I paid $200 for the stock, which is kind of a lot of money I think, but I appreciated his craftsmanship and wanted to support him (as well as just REALLY wanting the stock!)

OK, so, I've had this for awhile, but I just got around to taking some pictures of it, and I figured I'd share for the general oogling. I was at a gunshow some months back and I ran across a fellow who had taken a couple of plain-jane 10/22 stocks and started carving on them. He had four of...

softest rag imaginable

It's one of the "service grade special" rifles, pretty sure it's all original and unfired, dated 4/55, but it has a new CMP stock on it. Picture's not spectacular... I'll get some better ones soon!

I want a 452 lux specifically BECAUSE it's set up for iron sights... it annoys me that so many rifles these days come with no sights at all

I really wish I could post pics! However, CMP does a full nics check, and the FBI loves to delay me, so I gots to wait for my new garand :'(

I drove out to CMP south today and sorta impulse bought myself one of the VERY NICE Service Grade Special garands they have on the rack.

ok, how about my buddy's new smith: a) .38spl b) 1-7/8" c) square butt d) 5 shot e) fixed f) S/N 4J6763 g) mod 36, 29018

Great, that's exactly what it was sold to me as! The grips are stamped with the same serial number and this gun is in really nice shape!

ok, new toy: a) .38spl b) 4" c) square butt d) 6 shot e) micrometer adjustable rear f) S/N K 279967 g) under the crane says "H", then "62596", then "9"

well, with the Great American Ammunition and Reloading Equipment/Components Shortage of 2009, I've been searching for a set of .40/10mm dies so I can start reloading 10mm for my shiny new toy... I wanted to find Lee dies, as I load progressively on a Lee pro-1000, and nowhere could I find Lee...
