Re: M1 Garand Review...........Post Your M1 Garands here!!!!

I only have one. In honor of Darryl, I pulled it out of the safe for a couple of pics for you to view. This one from the "Forgotten War." Sorry about the upside down and sideways photo, the sight apparently did not like my editing. If you click on the photo, it will display properly.

Re: The Smith and Wesson 1903 got a new house today.

Here is the holster for the 1905 4th change made this morning. This revolver is an interesting piece, made in 1917 it is a 5" round butt. I believe that the finish is chrome, but I am not certain. The grips are matching to the revolver (penciled) and I have been told that they are hard to come ...

Re: Help Identifying possible M91/30

Son, if these old boys tell you that it is a refurbished 91/30, with a post-war laminate stock with a repair, you can take it to the bank. I ain't one, but there are some experts on Russian rifles on this forum. You are at the point that some of these guys were 30 or 40 years ago. I am still an appr...

Re: Hospitalization

Mike, do they do the proceedure with catherization or do they have to open you up? Catheterization, when I had my first one done they went in through both sides of my groin and through my left wrist. Then up to six hours on my back after they are done, to make sure the plug/stitch in the femoral ar...

Re: Does anyone know someone that is familiar with

The reason I was asking is I bought a cheap holster on eBay. It came yesterday. The leather was in really good condition, soft and supple. The stitching was shot, the thread rotten. I restitched the thing, applied some leather conditioner and it is now a nice holster. It is a perfect fit for a 1917 ...

Re: Are Mosin front-sights durable?

They were tough enough to survive two world wars. I have never seen a broken one either and at one time I owned 75 of them.
