I like devcon epoxy. Post a pic of the cracks, and i will give you a specific way to fix them.

I have some other pistols too halb. They just aren't my main focus.

Penndot actually has plans to such. In event of a catastrophic emergency, penndot vehicles will be parked at all exits on main roads as road blocks.... Dont ask where i got the info, but I actually saw it in plain black and white. People who plan on bugging out would be considered refugees. If you set up camp, even for 1 night on someone elses property in the country prepare to face some consequences. You are using thier resources. For the people that plan on bugging out to walmart or Dicks, just remember that half of the other sheeple in the area are planning on doing the same, so that could get a little touchy too. Best bet is to hunker down.

I still want to eat an alien.... wonder what they taste like......

I did a little horse trading with a friend and have a a 1943 US Army colt waiting for me. Damn permit process is killing me. I have gone down there just to fondle it a little, and drool several times. I just cant wait until my permit comes in....... WAAAAAAAA

Happy B day!

I got it all cleaned up, boy o boy is this thing purdy. The bore sparkles like the day it was made.... I will post pics later tonight. I put a nice light coat of gunny's paste on the stock and this is one beautiful gun!! Halb- enjoy your 1917!!

the only 2 guns that have names are either my MG-42 which is the BEAST, or the damn Mosin I built last year aka... the MONSTER

I couldn't watch the whole thing.........

for what you would pay for the conversion, go with an original rifle from the cmp

I like the original web slings. Easier to adjust and for me more comfortable.

I got an early flash hider, a t37 flash hider and a cheek pad. I went through without any real issues. My bayonet collection is out of control, so I decided to not get any of them....

My spidey senses are telling me there will be a bunch of bayo's and M1d parts up on ebay in about a week! Damn scalpers!

yeah, me too....

I order occasionally, but for my personal collection. I am not going to be selling anytime soon.

This morning the CMP released a small amount of original M1D accessories on the E-store. They were released at 10:00 and by 10:18 all were sold out. I was fortunate to get my order to go through, but there are a lot of pissed off people over on the forum now. The prices were outstanding, but so many people went to the E-store at once it actually made the server crash!!!!!! I guess I was just one of the lucky ones! The PINK UNICORN strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Stevens firearms manufacturing facilities were turned over to New England Westinghouse which produced 750,000 Russian Mosin Nagant rifles because the Russians couldn't keep up with small arms production. You have a somewhat rare Mosin, and should try to keep it as original as possible. Please dont be butchering or refinishing it. Take a close look at it and look for an "screaming eagle" stamp which means it was carried by US troops, or an [sA] stamp which means it was captured or sold to Finland. If it has those stamps it goes up in value considerably. It cost the us Gvt. about 30.25 to produce a Mosin, after the war many were sold off brand new for $3.75 for just the rifle, or $4.00 with 1,000 rds of ammunition.

sometimes, you just have to shoot it out. Believe it or not it does really help. Get the bore clean enough so you can shoot it. Go to the range shoot it a bit, get it hot and clean immediately at the range while all the crud is still warm and soft. It will work miracles. If you lived by me i would say bring er by and i would have the bore sparkling

come on now, we need a range report. Lets just hope it shoots as good as it looks!! Real beauty there Mr. Radek!!!!

hahahah, rub it in Ted. But even you can admit for what I paid for it, I would have been stupid to turn it down.

allrighty, let me dig into the back of mind and see what i can pull out. Most US rifles only have a serial number on the receiver. All small parts will just have the letter for the maker(E for eddystone, R for Remington, and W for Winchester) So if your gun is an Eddystone(which it is) most small parts such as the bolt body, cocking piece, possibly rear sight(not sure) and barrel should be marked with an E. Yes your barrel was made in 1919. If you find any parts that are marked with a R or W you know they are replacement parts and the gun was rebuilt at some time in its history. The Flaming bomb is the US ordinance stamp which means it was inspected and accepted for military use. Winchesters were not accepted to be sent overseas because they didn't machine all the parts to the other companies specs. So there were parts interchangeability issues. Winchester rifles would only work with Winchester parts. Rather than have to send special Winchester parts overseas, they decided to keep the all Winchesters state side for logistic reasons. I think (may be wrong) since the Winchesters weren't deemed acceptable enough to go overseas, they do not have the flaming bomb cartouches. One of these days my brain is going to have a complete memory dump...........

welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games!
