BPSteve,

Congrats on the 1911A1.

I'm still waiting for my RNG. I hope I get one as nice as yours.

I'm also looking for a few x39 grenade launching blanks. ETA: the stock and action fit nicely together. I'm guessing the crack might be from rifle grenade launching or was damaged in transport. FYI, I use the 7.62 x 39 parade blanks to launch grenades. They are easier to find and a lot cheaper than...

+1,

I like the 1911 long rifles and the 1896/11's more than the K-31s (although I like the K-31's too). My old eyes appreciate the longer sight radius. I have a Private series also (P Marked ). Great rifles! I can't say enough good things about them.

Me too . What he said. ^^^^^

Got my renewal last month.

I'm sorry to hear that.They always treated me good. I bought a lot of stuff from them over the years, even picked up 2 SKS "paratroopers" back in October of this year. I kinda figured they were going under because the pickings got sparse at the end and it was a lot of odds and ends on sale at real g...

Welcome to the forum from a Texas member.

We have a new & self avowed Socialist group rising within the Democrats & they seem to be welcoming of it. You better turn in them guns because this congress critter named Swalwell (see link) is insinuating the"'gummit" will use nukes against US citizens for exercising constitutional rights. :shock...

I got myself a Yugoslavian M-59/66A1 SKS rifle this weekend, its all matching serial numbers, so fair everything looks great on it, just lots of cosmline... Watch out and take care. Those sks's are addictive. Pretty soon you will be buying blanks and inert grenades to shoot off of the yugo. Then th...

Thanks Charles for the update on the American Rifleman show. Unfortunately I cut cable and all paid TV services years ago. Maybe I can find it on the internet.

I had a friend who hates bayos give me 2 paratrooper bayos. Sweet! I also called SOG back the other day because I saw where they had the cracked stock ones for 209 dollars but they were all sold out. I'm Sorry I missed out on that one.

do those also have the scope rail rivets on the receiver?

The rifles I got had normal milled recvrs and did not have the scope rail or any rivets etc.

I had ordered 2 of the papratrooper SKS's SOG had the first day they went on sale. Some of the rifles had no lugs and had cracked stocks so I'm glad I jumped on it early. Both of the rifles I got had the bayonet lugs, the proper cut for the paratrooper spike bayo, no cracks in stock, cleaning rod, c...

Charles, thanks for the info on condition. I had wanted a service grade so it sounds like is likely. I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if I filled out everything correctly and get assigned a lottery number. I hope I will get one this year. They will be mixmasters (like most garands) but it is w...

No, but it was because I already have several WW1 & WW2 1911 & 1911a1 pistols in better condition than what I think the service grade pistols will be. People are grousing that $1,050 for the service grade is too much but I'm firmly convinced that nobody is likely to lose any money on a genuine USGI...

Howdy CHarles, long time no see. Its great to see ya back. I'm back stateside now (for good I hope). i DROPPED A LOT WEIGHT (went from 215 to 150). I cut out All carbs (beer, bread, pasta, chips) and cake, sweets, candy, sugar (I use Stevia instead). I also do intermittent fasting where you eat all ...
