    I would lean to the side of a made up story. I will say it is plausible that it real, but those pictures can be faked. Heck look at all the movies and TV shows with fake pictures. Who ever produced that video put forth plenty of time and effort, even for a few minute video, so I doubt that they...

    The wood pile. ;)

    Well a few catch my eye, but that cheek rest on the Garand stock is hard to ignore.

    Its been said that What you do to me is your Karma, how I react is mine. I think in this video the Karma came 360 in a very positive way for everyone. I know that it was just a made up video, but very touching indeed.

    Miley's atrocity has ended up being the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to jokes. I liked this one.

    Rifle Scopes PENTAX Lightseeker 8.5x-32x 50

    Thanks for the input. I think I am going to pass on the deal, mostly because I cannot find to much about them. You are the only person the had anything to say on all the forums I asked.

    1903-A4 Build Questions

    So in the spirit of the thread, building a 1903a4, would a Weaver K2.5 be a correct scope? I see it mentioned pretty often on the forums, but I do not see it in any of my 1903 books.

    Rifle Scopes PENTAX Lightseeker 8.5x-32x 50

    Anyone ever use/owned a Pentax Lightseeker 8.5x-32x50 rifle scope. I have something listed for sale locally, and this scope was part of a package deal a guy has offered as a trade. The thing is I do not know anything about these scopes. Has anyone used one? Opinions? Value? Any help is...

    3-Gun Match w/Krag & USGI 1911

    GunBroker has some nice ones every once and a while. I got mine off of the CMP Forums. I posted what I wanted and a couple of weeks later a guy emailed me. The only thing was he did not have an original sling like I wanted, but all the metal and wood is original. It shoots amazing. Pretty...

    Amazing what a 6".....

    It goes to show that slow and steady can win the race. Provided you cannot take all day to shoot, but just because you have a rifle that cycles the action for you really fast does not mean you will win. I recently shot a local club match, and I was the only bolt gun there (Using my Remington...

    Looks like fun. I was thinking about shooting the next action rifle match at my club with a Garand.

    Smith Corona 1903-A3 with bad chamber

    There are guys that specifically work on old battle rifles like that. They can re-barrel the rifle just like the old armories used to. I cannot give you anyone specific, but I have read a lot about ChuckinDenver to the point I have given him some money to build me a rifle that is in the works...

    FTF Garand - Help

    I understand that a weaker/shorter spring that is out of spec would creat issues with the rounds being pushed up for the bolt to strip out of the clip, but my question still remains the same, why would it cause problems on rounds 7 but not on round 8? Besides with the additional information...

    FTF Garand - Help

    With the additional information I would contact the CMP or Orest on the CMP forums. IT may be easier and cost less to have the CMP deal with/fix the problem. Worst case scenario is they send you an entire new rifle.

    FTF Garand - Help

    This makes a bit of sense, but it then should have had problems on the next round, or it would make sense to me that it would. This makes a bit of sense, but it then should have had problems on the next round, or it would make sense to me that it would.

    FTF Garand - Help

    For all those who think it is the spring why? The OP said it was FTF on the 7th round. In my thoughts if the spring was bad then it would have failed on earlier rounds since as the follower rises with the rounds, there is in a sense a little bit less pressure on the spring for every round fired...
