      CMP match

      Hello all, been a while since I've visited the forums. Anyway, I recently moved back to the DMV area and want to get back into the CMP matches that the Thurmont range runs periodically. I saw that their next match is next month but their site also says the rifle range is closed due to...

      What Gives?

      Hello all. I bought my Remington 700 Varmint in .308 a little over a year ago. Since then I have been experimenting with load development but so far have not been happy. At 100 yards shooting off a bench the best I have been able to get was a 3/4" inch group. I am using 168 gr Speer Target...

      Forester Neck Sizer/Bump Die

      Hello all. I have a Remington 700 Varmint in .308. I have been experimenting with different loads of IMR4895 as well as bullet seating depths and think I have found a combination that works well using Speer 168gr bullets. I am trying to shrink my groups even more by making my reloads as...

      TCSC Garand match?

      Hello all. Anyone know the 2017 JCG match schedule at Thurmont? I was under the impression there will be one next month but their website still has the 2016 schedule up. Thanks.

      I may be opening a can of worms with this thread...

      Hello all. I have been reloading for my Garand for 8 years and my M1A for about 6 years and have never had an issue. I have never crimped, only use IMR4064 or 4895 powders, and am always careful to seat the primers below the pocket. Recently, I talked to someone that strongly suggested against...

      Flaming Bomb mark

      Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has or knows where to find a chart that lists styles of the flaming bomb marking used on U.S. military weapons, and the dates used. I tried google and while I can find lists for foreign rifles, I cannot find anything on this marking or any American marks...

      1897 Trench gun question

      Hello all, I have a solid frame 1897 Trench gun that was built in 1918. From all of the reading I have done, it exhibits most of the traits of a WW2 rebuild (parkerized, WW2 style stock, 4 row "W" heat shield). One thing I do not understand though is that the end of the barrel should be...

      Krag Bayonet

      Took a day trip to Gettysburg today and walked around some antique shops. I cannot remember the name of it, but right before that traffic circle in the center of the town there is a shop with a lot of nice relics from the Civil War on up. I found this bayonet to go with my Krag. It's not in the...

      Old Ammo Can

      Hello all. While antique shopping in Frederick, I happened upon a Reeves WW2 .30 cal ammo can. It was only 20 bucks so I decided to pick it up. After searching around the Internet a little, most of the ones I have seen are green while this is a reddish brown color. Was this one maybe painted...

      My growing family

      My parents came into town this weekend from California. My dad has an extensive collection of military rifles, and he decided to pass one of them down to me as an early Christmas present. It is a Winchester M1897 Trenchgun. Below is a pic of my U.S. rifle collection so far. I'm no where near...

      M1 Garand stock refinish

      Hello all. I have a Winchester M1 stock that appears to have had a glossy finish applied to it. I would like to strip it off and take it back to natural wood, then apply linseed oil to it. I have never done this before though and was hoping you guys could provide me the best way to do it...

      Is this M1907 Authentic?

      Hello all. I am trying to find a USGI M1907 sling from WWI. I found the one below, and from what I can tell just from the pics it looks to be authentic...but I am no expert. Can someone give me the warm and fuzzy before I bid? Thanks. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/594663020

      Garand barrel installation

      Hello all. I have a stripped Garand receiver and a new barrel that needs to get installed. I have used Shuffs Parkerizing in the past with good results, however I just wanted to see if there were any other companies to look into before I send it away. Thanks

He found one on eBay that seems to have all of the correct features however at the very end of the stock just under neath where the barrel would be is stamped "RI". I think that...

      USMC Museum rifles

      I was down at Quantico visiting the USMC museum and am always amazed at the amount of military surplus rifles they have on display. There was a Garand and an M-14 mounted on stands outside of the glass displays. I noticed that the bolts on both of them were welded shut. It was kind of...

      1903 Mk 1 correct parts

      Hello all. About a year ago I went into Anglers right off of Rt 50 by the Bay Bridge and found a 1903 Mk1 for sale. It appears to have all of the correct Mk1 parts...stock cut out, magazine switch, trigger pawl and J5 marked bolt (I posted a pic of it, but you can't really tell). I paid $1100...

      Scaled Down Targets

      Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get scaled down targets that I can use to snap in with in my basement...something like a scaled down 100 yard target that you can practice with 20 feet away. Thank you!

      Building a Garand

      Hello all. The good idea fairy recently convinced me to build a Garand with NM touches. I have already purchased NM sights and I already have a bunch of spare standard parts laying around (magazine parts, oprod, gas cylinder, stock, etc). I will be buying a USGI stripped receiver and either a...

      Hello all. Have any of you shot in this kind of a match before? Was thinking of attending the one on August 13 in Thurmont. What is the course of fire? I have a 1903, 1917, and Garand...was debating which one to use. Thanks

      M1 Carbine magazine

      Hello all. I have a 10 round Pro Mag magazine for my M1 Carbine, but it does not feed very well...at least I hope its just the magazine. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? In the meantime I'm going to check out Midway and see what they carry.
