    USMC Unertl locking in the parallax on the objective

    Frank: I have a scanned pdf of the Operator's Manual from 2003 that I can email if you want a copy. Just send me a message with your email and I'll send it. Same to anyone else who wants a copy. I think the messages above should have you squared away. Just remember when trying to adjust the...

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    I'll also add that I would recommend checking the chamber since most of these sold with 22" barrels were in 7.62x51. It could have been rechambered, but I would want to verify.

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    That is definitely a Mann Accuracy Device that has been put into a full stock. The sleeve that clamps into the fixture has been turned down and the barrel has had a recessed crown added. In my opinion it has a lot less value than it did as a Mann Accuracy Device...

    m24 back in stock

    Yep, when I first saw this I used the old "load up your cart" trick and it looked like there were only 4 at that time. Good deals for anyone who didn't have a real M24.

    m24 back in stock

    Interesting. Were these actually made at the Remington Defense Facility in Ilion NY like the link says?

    Looking for M24 receiver C6349190

    That one has an interesting history too. It has been all over the world and back more than once and is the only one I've seen documented to "Bagram Air Base (BAF) - Operation Resolute Support, Bagram, Afghanistan".

    MST100 Interest?

    I remember when those sold on the CMP auction as a consecutive pair. Beautiful scopes with the USO modifications.

    Eagle industries hsrc??

    About 5 years ago a lot of well used Eagle Industires HSRC's showed up on the auction sites. I bought one that was really salty. It had debris all over it and even had a pair of pruning shears in one of the pockets. After a few days I noticed it stunk bad, so I finally had to take it out and...

    Eagle industries hsrc??

    I like the Eagle Industries HSRC's too. They don't seem to turn up that often. I have had a couple green ones that I associate more with the M24, along with the other Eagle Industries green items issued with the M24. The tan ones I associate more with the M110. I have seen khaki and coyote...

    Fake Vintage Parts

    Those will fit right in with their line of fake "U.S. sniper" parts... I would not believe anything they claim. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/army-m24-build-thread.6252616/post-11176343

    Armscorp "M21" Marked M14 NM Semi-Automatic Rifle with ART II Scope

    Congratulations, I looked at your rifle and scope during the preview day of the auction and it looked like a nice one! I wasn't planning to bid since I have a similar one, so I didn't look through the scope our inspect it in detail. The overall impression was excellent.

    New McMillan HTG M40A1 smear stocks!!!

    I saw those, they are both awesome looking rifles and awesome smear stocks.

    USMC Unertl scopes

    Congratulations on the auction, that looks like a nice scope. First, the ribbed focus ring itself should be held in place by the lock ring (the rear section about 1" in length). So, if you haven't loosened the lock ring (counterclockwise) the focus ring won't turn. If the lock ring is stuck, I...

    Chuck MaWhinney M40 on Gunbroker

    That is Jackson Armory in Dallas. If you look at their other auctions and their closed auctions, they almost never receive bids. They just seem to use Gunbroker as advertising and picture hosting for the guns they are selling.

    USMC Unertl scopes

    Tokiwartooth posted some pictures a few years ago of Unertl scope 1045 that he converted back from .50 Cal to .30 cal. The key was that he had the .30 Cal parts, so was able to "re-convert" it back to .30 Cal. I think anyone else would be better off to just buy a .30 Cal scope if that is what...

    MST100 Interest?

    ...and not just one coat of paint. The scopes with real character have at least 3 or 4 layers of different colors/terrains, each peeled and flaking before the next layer was painted.

    Great job on the spreadsheet! Thanks, Dave

    MST100 Interest?

    I'm not in for a scope, but he should definitely make a bunch of spare parts while he is at it!

    CMP sold Unertl and USO MST-100 scopes

    I worked with the numbers some to see whether there were any significant gaps in the serial numbers that would indicate missing data. I developed a scatter chart and a column chart using @capthook spreadsheet. They didn't show any significant gaps. Going through the 1xxx numbers, I found two...

    CMP sold Unertl and USO MST-100 scopes

    Chandler, Death from Afar, Volume 1 list the serial numbers and dates of purchase for scopes from 1006 up through 1651. It also lists 1652 through 1673 as "test scopes". In the higher serial numbers shown, the dates of purchase bounce around between 1983 and 1988. Based on the higher serial...
