If anyone could tell me anything about this pistol I would appreciate it. My interests are pretty much limited to U.S. service rifles. I am interested in buying it but a little knowledge is a sure recipe for disaster. For example the grips. The individual selling it is clearing out his...

Here is an update. I took it to the local pistol smith this morning along with the broken slide stop. His conclusion was a defect in the part. There was also a discoloration in the metal at point it failed. It failed at a bubble in the seam where it was cast. He put in a replacement and test...

If your looking at the slide stop when it's installed, it broke a 1/16 of an inch past where the cross pin goes through. On the flat part. Thanks

I have a Springfield Armory GI 45 (Stainless Steel) that has broken it's second slide stop. Both failed at about 1200 rounds. Springfield sent me a replacement for the first one. When the replacement slide stop broke today I noticed it's not stainless steel inside but a porous metal. Both broke...

The barrel on the one I received at first looked like a smooth bore. Once I managed to get the carbon and layers of crud chipped out it turned out to be in great condition. No pitting. Prepare to spend a lot of time getting all the junk out of the barrel. 95% of the original finish is intact and...

I bought a XD9 subcompact new a few months ago. I found it to be very inaccurate. After 500 plus rounds I had decided to sell it. While at the range I got into a conversation with a fellow shooting a XD9 subcompact about accuracy. He offered to let me shoot it. Results. Accurate hits from the...

This is the rifle I asked for advice and value about on a post on Wednesday. I am still new to the Garand so let me know if I messed up and while your at it was this a good deal? I hope to use your replies to convince my wife it was a bargain to good to pass up. If not she wants me to cancel my...

Bought it this morning Bought it this morning. Got so excited I started tearing it down in the car. It has an uncut op rod as well as the lock bar sights and not an import mark anywhere. The outside is grungy but it looks new on the inside other than a few cob webs. I'll take some before and...

I'm out of town on a job. While looking around at a few pawn shops this afternoon I found a Garand. I have the book The M-1 Garand by Joe Poyer but it's at home. I would really appreciate any advice and estimates of value. The asking price is 650.00. It is a new arrival to there store. It looks...

No Kidding-Serious Question What I have found out about it is it was presented to a relative of the previous owner from an American Legion Post in the early 60's. He dose not belive it has been modified or even fired since then. I'm just trying to figure out why a 1903a3 barrel is on it. And...

I have a Remington 1903 with a June 1942 receiver, but it has a Remington barrel dated 2-44. From what I have learned from a previous post the barrel is a 1903a3 barrel. My question is can I have a 1903 barrel installed on it? Is the receiver modified to fit the 1903a3 barrel or the barrel...
