    my new M1 Carbine and its story

    I'll see if i can get a few detail shots today. I wasn't too fond of the sights when i started, but i got used to them, and i wouldn't dare change them anyway! One of the first things i learned (i knew almost nothing about the M1 a week ago, which is rare for me when it comes to guns) was that...

    my new M1 Carbine and its story

    Ok. I disassembled and cleaned it last night, and today i took it to the range. I had never shot an M1 Carbine before, and the lack of recoil surprised me. the sights were already adjusted for the barrel, and it was spot-on. after three or four shots at fifty yards, I took it out to 100. For a...

    my new M1 Carbine and its story

    Thanks for the advice! I already know that it shoots, he shot it ever so often, but says that it shoots to the left... I'm probably going to the range saturday to confirm that, after a thorough cleaning. I'll try to take and post some pictures tomorrow... the extactor is a little tight, i'm...

    my new M1 Carbine and its story

    I havent been on much lately between school and other stuff, but having finally found some time, now i return! :) My second cousin was in 1st Cav during the Vietnam war, and he brought back a few things, including a purple heart and an M1 Carbine. He got the purple heart after being shot...

    Humorous homemade gun posters

    wait :confused: that directed at me??:o because I made that one. I saw a different demot. poster about the movie Gran Torino, and thought that mine would be funny. If Oleg, or anyone else made one similar to or the same as mine; that is merely a coincidence! I don't mean to cause a fuss, but...

    What about a lowspeed gun story?

    they're not set in the 21st century, and most are set in the 19th, but, one of my favorites: Lois L'Amour!

    Have you ever dreamed of a gun?

    mainly my gun-related dreams are of running out of ammo. Besides that, it's mainly mg42's, MK14's, and 1911's. And whatever gun I just got or am soon to get! as far as dreaming up a new gun, I don't guess a 1911 that's legal for a 16 year old to concealed-carry counts, does it??? :uhoh:

    Love at First Sight?

    The first one that did this for me was the Peacemaker. Then came most lever actions and the 1911. The only others that stand out to me are the M14 and the K98. I like the look of most revolvers but almost no autoloaders. On the ugly duckling side of things, there's just something about the...

    Buy your next gun, or ammo, components etc?

    exactly! (post 2,3, and 4) Unless there's something you NEED, ammo is more important right now, in my opinion. After buying the one type of gun (besides a handgun) that I still need, I'll only be buying ammo for quite a while!

    Service Weapons Seen Overseas

    In Nicaragua (Chinandega "province/state thingy") about six years ago: Nicaraguan military and police: LOTS of regular and under-folding stock AK's (somewhere I have a picture of me holding one with a group of Corinto city police officers), 12 guage shotguns (if I remember correctly, Mossberg...

    Name that gun!

    oh... :uhoh: didn't realize that was the next one, :o as I said, I had seen that one in some searches for the previous one... :banghead: Woops! :eek: Guess I 'll have to give the next one a try!:)

    10/22 butler creek mag breakdown?

    (Holding mine in my hand as I type with one hand) I see no way to disassemble it without just cutting it in half, so if you just don't want to throw it away, use a dremel to surgically "bifurcate" it, clean it, and try to reassemble it with a strong glue and tape. ::Edit:: looking at it closer...

    The Best Miltary Sniper rifle (for it's time)

    one of the many reasons I like the M70 over the 700 is the safety. Yes, most of the malfunction cr@p is probably just hype, but the fact that it has happened is enough for me. I like the way the M70's safety works more anyways. Another reason is the claw extractor on the pre 64 and the new...

    What Size Shot For Rattlers ?

    Last few snakes I killed were with my 10/22 and non plated hollow points. Works pretty well if you know where the bullet's going without using the sights! Though ANY shotshell (from 22 ratshot to a 357 shotshell to a 10 guage with 000 buckshot :D) will kill most snakes at close range! on a...

    Business Hunting/pest control

    I want to do the same thing here in NW Florida and S Alabama. I have absolutely no idea where to start though, except that first I'm going to talk to friends and family with farmland and see if they need my "services", and then ask them to refer me to their friends. As far as legality, price...

    Name that gun!

    wow! I had considered a few other MG's, but nothing even close to the Lewis! upon searching for your description, I only found two guns that were Lewis-es that bore any resemblance to this! :o the second gun, however, I found quite a few images of. In my opinion, if you could put a 30 round...
