    Dear US Army 60s Manual Garand is NOT METRIC

    You see Garands being used for funeral details. That's what we used when I had FD in 1969.

  2. How is the milsurp market these days?

    I dunno, there are some pretty ratty M1s out there being hawked for around $900-1000. Piece parted, mismatched barrel bands and front upper handguards, etc. They're scarce right now and anybody who has a $600 clunker thinks it's worth a lot more.

    San Quentin Riot Gun?

    Is that top strap securing screw with locking screw missing?

    What's in the box?

    Looks like a standard government kraft box for a surplus sale to private citizen of a 1911A1....

    Help in identifying an old rifle please.

    Help pricing a Remington Model 11 12 ga riot gun

    The pheasant engraving looks pretty clean and sharp. Much sharper than the other stuff on the gun, IMO.

    Help pricing a Remington Model 11 12 ga riot gun

    IMO, either the flaming bomb stamp OR the engraving were added afterwards. If it is also stamped US- anything, then my bet is that it was engraved sometime afterwards. BTW, you can buy flaming bomb hand stamps of different sizes from Numrich....

    Gary Cooper Had Milsurps

    Gary Cooper was a novice when compared with the late great Charlton Heston. His gun room (an actual vault with its own firing tunnel) was an impressive treasure. He had MULTIPLE BARs and so much other stuff it isn't funny.

  10. Thoughts on M1 stocks

    Yes....you can easily see it in the picture of the 4 Garands I had....that one has the Turner AWS sling and a neat steel Red Dot Optics sight base that replaced the original Garand sight. That company that made the sight base is out of business but it was a super design, IMO>

  11. Thoughts on M1 stocks

    Boyds makes good hardwood stocks for the Garand but they are what are termed Korean issue type. The wood stands proud for more relief in areas like the fore end handguards...I caveat this by saying the last Boyds stock for Garand I got was 10 years ago. Your experience I guess I'll have to...

    Winchester Garand Value?

    Where was the stock marked 63? All i saw was a vibrator scrawled LEAD 3-65 mark on the receiver. The stock is marked RA-P - Rariton and there's a proof mark on the heel from earlier - the depth of stamps is clearly different. There are several SA parts, an IHC part, the sight isn't a...

    Winchester Garand Value?

    Probably?

    Winchester Garand Value?

    The stock appears to be Rariton Arsenal rebuild stock judging by the stamp on the buttstock - possibly why the stock and fore ends are mismatched. Rariton was used from 1917 to 1963 so maybe not a Vietnam service rebuild...

  15. How is the milsurp market these days?

    No problem in keeping the cash flow rate up, especially with dental work coming up. I'm more long term but everyone's mileage varies...:0) The stock project? yeah.....I'm in the process of swapping out the synthetic stock and fore end on my 930SPX....Gotta love that retro wood look....

  16. How is the milsurp market these days?

    If you don't really need to sell it to get funds for something else more sellable, I'd say hold onto it and find the bayonet and a sling for it. :0) They'll pay for themselves.

  17. How is the milsurp market these days?

    I once bought a pristine Mauser Modelo Argentino, 1909 in 7.65.....it took me a good while to find the green sling and the type of quillion hook bayonet that goes with it. IIRC, I found it in a little gun shop not far off from the Marietta Civic Center in a bin of old [junk] bayonets...I think...

  18. How is the milsurp market these days?

    Did you happen to get the quillion hook bayonet that goes with it?

  19. How is the milsurp market these days?

    Yeah...from the '42' on the receiver it's a Mauser Oberndorf factory rifle made in 1940. They were still using laminated stocks then. My S/42 from the same factory built in 1936 shows the time they spent with each rifle back then...every piece big enough to stamp a serial number has the same...

  20. M1903

    Yes....I've had at least 5 of them and my prices were always in the 600-700 range. But that was over a decade ago. The stock variations were many, FWIW. A post above gave prices for some of them.
