Love, love, love my Schmidt Rubin 96-11. She sure does shoot like a dream and the trigger is the smoothest one of all my guns including many modern ones.
Nice one Alpo. Got a National Postal Meter receiver, Rockola barrel M1 Carbine. My husband is still working on her because she shoots for shinola at the moment unfortunately. He read up on some things on CMP though and a couple of those have made a difference in the way the barrel sat in the...
Very nice gents! Question - y'all know of a good (or some good) source(s) to look for a bayonet for my M1 Carbine? I didn't get one with it, so I need to complete it. :)
Thanks!

Welcome! My husband was stationed in Brunswick for about 4 years and I fell in love with ME. Only reason we're in MD is his retirement job landed him here.
Our kids did Drum & Bugle Corps with The Spartans out of Nashua, NH while we were up there and our daughter did Winter Guard...
Back to the picture of Albrecht, as high as his rifle sticks up past his head, I'm not so sure it's a K31. Think he may have had the rifle instead, it doesn't look short enough to be a Karbiner to me...
I second the "Wow" on this! I can't imagine running this with my Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 slung over my back. What am I saying, I can't imagine running it with any of them slung over my back! LOL I need to go look this up now and read more on it.
And I will post pictures of mine later. It is in...
Thanks! Will keep all these in mind as we work our way through the list. LOL Kinda working our way through the entire bolt area and checking things twice...
Thanks, we found that thread. Took it apart and cleaned it and no highly visible wear and tear even looking through the magnifier lamp.
We're taking it by SLSC tomorrow afternoon for a friend to take a look. He's running an Appleseed weekend there and is an M1 Carbine "aficionado". :) So...
Okay, got my Postal Meter M1 Carbine. Husband took her out to shoot before I got home from CO and everything was okay, I took her out and shot about 20-30 rounds when I got home and she was okay.
This past Thurs I went to the range for a Military Woodstock Match. Put about 10-20 shots down...
Due to varying factors the Boy Scouts Turkey Shoot scheduled for Sept 26
has been postponed. We will be pushing it back to Spring of 2016 sometime
and hope you will be able to join us again at that time. We do apologize
for any inconvenience.

Oh, and it doesn't help that my husband is such an enabler on both of my interests! LOL
Just celebrated 32 years of marriage, but I think he fell in love with me all over again last year when I told him "Ya know, we would shoot the ARs more if you got the dies and such and reloaded for...
Trust me, I hope to add a 1911 Singer one day. :) And more...
Pictures will come, I'm heading out of town to go see the grandkid next week and hubby promised not to tinker with either until I've seen them. LOL
And J8064 - we've got a heater of a beagle too. LOL She's a rescue found dumped in...
Man! Yesterday I bought a Swiss 96/11 Rifle and have it on the way from Simpson Ltd, supposed to arrive on the 2nd. Then just now I was perusing GunBroker just to check prices on Postal Meter M1 Carbines and ended up hitting a buy it now for $880! Damn!
My Dad was a Postal Inspector for over...
