      Rebarrel a Polytech M14S?

      I wasn't trying to be a turd and I'm sorry if it came across that way, I appreciate the help and suggestion. Dave

      Historical interservice rifle championships match results

      Thanks, I don't see him mentioned in the article, but I do have his Model 52E International Match (with all the geegaws and doodads) and a Redfield 3200 fitted to it

      Historical interservice rifle championships match results

      Over the years I've picked up some pieces from a successful military high power rifle shooter and I'm trying to document some of the stuff and put together a short bio of the guy to include with the items when the time comes to pass them along. I have the stuff from Camp Perry and now I'm...

      Rebarrel a Polytech M14S?

      Thanks, I have a Garand he built using pretty much all new parts, it's still a shooter even after a couple years as my "training" rifle when I started across the course high power. It actually appears that the Polytech has a pretty low round count but I came into 6 brand new Douglas...

      Rebarrel a Polytech M14S?

      I'm looking for recommendations (and approximate cost) to rebarrel and install a USGI bolt in a Polytech M14S. I'm pretty sure I have everything to make this thing a shooter but I need a smith who's familiar with this conversion. Baltimore / Washington area Thanks Dave

      Some odds and ends...

      capt14k, it was a "private showing" that I fell into. Lee2, I'm planning to move most of the AP and the spam can of .30-06. Although I believe the AP is collectable rather than "shootable" Dave

      Some odds and ends...

      I picked up a couple more pieces for my accumulation yesterday, a P14, a Yugo M48, another 03A3 (Remington, now I have one of each) , a No4 Mk2. These all look pretty correct. A pretty cool long range rifle built on a sleeved Remington 700 long action that's set up as a switch barrel, it...

      Looking for Winchester Model 70 stock(s)

      Ya, it's was pretty cool. There's also a post 64 in .308 already blueprinted and set up for XTC high power, with a Jewell trigger, Hart stainless barrel in a MacMillan stock. I may have to shoot a match with it just for fun. On second thought, maybe 88 rounds of .30 cal. through a bolt gun...

      Looking for Winchester Model 70 stock(s)

      Since they're pre '64, I figured I'd ask here... I fell into a pile of (mostly) pre 64 Model 70's, two of which are in .30-06 with factory heavy barrels that are in very nice shape both inside and out. The reason behind this request is that I also have a 10x Unertl that's been looking...

      1911 Gun Porn

      Ya, there are 3 or 4 more, a couple of GI pistols and one or two additional commercial. The USGI stuff is all original (except the grips on the WWI Colt), the WWII Colt went ashore with my great grandfather on Okinawa. The US&S was issued to an Army engineer who went through the Aleutian...

      The C&R Reference Book Thread

      I've been using "M1 GARAND PHOTO ESSAY" by Larry Babcock to identify the pile of early Garand parts I got recently. So far it seems to be pretty good. I picked up my copy from Mr Babcock at Chantilly (he has a table there) For M1 carbines parts id, "Comprehensive Guide to the M1 Carbine" by...
