Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to have to get my uncle to learn to take a better picture! Also, he's going to have to learn to email and not mail me printed photos! I will try to get more photos and do some research and see what other questions come up.

I hit send before finishing up! I'm wondering how to value these. If he can sell them for a lot, I want to help him sell them, or if they are in the right price range, I may want to purchase (at a family discount!) possibly. Thanks for any input...

My uncle called me recently saying that his wife's family had passed them down a couple of rifles and he wanted to know if I was interested before he sold them. He has sent me some rough pictures printed on paper, so Maybe I can scan them and add to this post after. I have a few Mil-Surp...

I bust clays at 100 and just go for the steels at 200! Too far to walk!

I'm fairly new to shooting and wouldn't consider myself any great shot. My 13 year old son and I shoot our 91/30 at our range that has steel gongs at 200, 300, 400, 500. We easily smack the 200 most of the time. Shooter error has us missing on occasion. He falls off my pace a little at 300...

What a great thread! The range we go to has a lot of steel options to shoot. I almost never shoot paper. I often wonder if I should with everyone talking about MOA this and MOA that. But, I find that shooting the variety of steel targets from 35 - 100 yards at the pistol range, with my...

Love mine! Had it for about 5 months. I have a Tula 39 round receiver.

Walkers210, How tight is your barrel band? As you read above, mine was quite loose and the barrel moved around quite a bit. But I tightened the inner band with some pliars and it's tighter - but not as solid as other M1's I've picked up in shops etc. Certainly my father-in-law's Plainfield...

Update: I found a Trigger Housing and replaced my old one - using all the trigger components from the original. It works! I shot about 150 rounds at the range. All of my mags seated tightly. There were no failure to loads. When I switched to Prvi Partisan Soft Point rounds there was some...

By the way: That's a video link above.

My son is 12. I bought him a 10/22 2 years ago and we both started shooting. We have a few more guns and recently picked up a Mosin 91/30. He loves it! It kicked his shoulder to pieces the first time out, but he figured out how to handle that. He hit the 200 yard steel target on his 2nd...

First, I'm sorry. I'm new to this. If I'm in the sporting class (10/22 Stock Rifle with Scope), I can't use a sandbag, right? So, I can be at a range, on a bench. I just have to hold the rifle steady with my hands, not support it any way. Thanks!

I just pinched the inner band and it basically eliminated the barrel movement. I doubt it will stay that way after time, but could that have been the majority of the issue on the barrel movement? And, if I'm lucky it will also fix the magazine and feeding issues? (Kidding!)

Trent, Thanks for the details! Question on the barrel and band. The barrel rides in the band. How tight should the inner band be around the barrel? It looks like the underside of the inner band, where it separated is spread open a bit, maybe from force it got bent open. Can I squeeze that...

Regarding the Barrel. The barrel is loose in the stock, or the barrel band. The barrel is not loose from the receiver when it's taken apart. In the picture above you can see the gap between the top of the barrel and the top of the barrel band. That's where it's loose. It moves up and down...

From what I've read, USGI parts will work in the IJ. I did place my father-in-law's Plainfield Trigger Group/Housing into my IJ and it worked great. That seemed to solve the feeding problem. I didn't get to shoot it that way, but I loaded some mags, cycled the bolt and all the rounds fed and...

The mags are really loose. I clicked his mag in and it fit the same. I didn't shoot with his mag. It's older and is a 15 round and I wasn't sure if I could be using it here in California. Yeah, it's a shame, my first purchase online and I get a crankly little gun. I was busy focusing on...

There is also a bit of movement of my barrel. Look at the gap on the Iver Johnson (on right) between the barrel and strap. I've read that there is often a bit of barrel movement on M1's, but any I've checked out in Gun Stores or my father-in-laws are not loose like the IJ.

I just bought a "new" to me Iver Johnson M1 Carbine. From what I've found out it was manufactured in 1985. I bought it after shooting my father-in-laws Plainfield Machine M1 from 1965 that he had purchase himself. His Plainfield is a tight gun, shoots great to this day. I had to have one for...
