      Value of 1913 Patton sabers?

      I have not had a chance yet to visit the Baltimore antique arms show, not do I frequent the right kind of auctions. With a recent antique auction (with no other militaria) there were a pair of 1913 Patton sabers (no sheaths), and I was wondering how pricing on them currently stands. The...

      Recommended septic company for Harford county

      As the title suggests, I am looking for recommendations on a company that will perform a routine septic tank clean-out within Harford county. The tank was last cleaned out 5 years ago, though for my household of 1 (with occasional guests) I imagine the tank does not fill up that fast. The...

      Need advise for M1917

      I bought a Eddystone M1917 recently, and need some advice regarding an issue with it. When I fire it, the upper band (part #55 using terminology from numrich, forwardmost metal band with bayonet lug) is jumping forward. This cause the wooden handguard parts to fall off within a shot or two...

      Interesting split cases

      In sorting through the loose brass picked I picked up on my last trip to the range, I found two cases that have an interesting split. Rather than a splitting straight down the case wall as I would otherwise expect, one split travels diagonally around the case, and the other zig-zags...

      When to buy new, when to reload

      The purpose of this thread is to discuss and analyze the point at which it makes more sense, purely from a cost perspective, to either buy commercially made ammunition or to reload. What I am currently wondering about is .30-06 and .223. I have not reloaded either of these, and so have less...

      Finding and pricing a M1 carbine

      I would like to get a M1 carbine, for shooting and for admiration, if one can be found at a reasonable price. My grandfather carried both M1s in europe, the garand and the carbine, and I would like to get both in my collection. At this point I have a garand, so now I'm looking for a carbine...

      Dick's lives up to its name

      I think that I'm a fairly tolerant fellow and that it takes a bit to get me worked up, but the staff at Dick's (Bel Air branch in Harford county) managed to get my goat within 10 minutes of walking in the door :mad54:. 2 items were simply horrendously bad customer service, and 1 item sounds like...

      Call a bluff in poker, not in a gunfight

      A bit of news from the weekend that I just read at Yahoo. From the short write-up, the CCW-holder was holding the two criminals at gunpoint, and one of the two decided to push his luck. :sad20: http://news.yahoo.com/customer-shoots-robbery-suspect-sc-waffle-shop-043855274.html

      Help finding replacement parts

      Hello. My grandfather gave me his .22 LR Mauser that he brought back from Germany in '45. For me while I was growing up, this is the rifle I learned on at my grandfather's farm. Much to everyone's displeasure, one of my grandfather's neighboring farmers borrowed it, removed the iron sights to...
