Hello friends and neighbors // Did a search for a U.S. Military Steel thread, none came up.
Once you know what you have. RCModel and others have many threads, broken down by type, that are outstanding.
A U.S. Military Steel thread could...Hopefully .. help myself and others figure out what the heck we just bought or fine tune our knowledge of our purchases.
If this already exists please direct me.
During the last spike in gun prices, my interest turned to finding proper U.S. Steel to match my Military firearms. I'm hooked, just wish know more.
