    Car Gurus Please Chime In

    I’ll say up front that I’m much more knowledgeable about Chrysler/Jeep than GM, but the diagnostic approach is generally the same. In my opinion the worst thing you can do when you have a problem like yours is to start winging modules at it. You’re just guessing, and that gets expensive fast...

    Springfield 1903A1 without a scope...

    Nice looking rifle, and seems to shoot really well. I think you did pretty good for $700, not a steal but a good price if the barrel is that nice. It's not really a 1903A1 though. 1903A1's are rifles which were originally built at the arsenals with C stocks in the late 20's through the mid 30's...

    Which CZ for my rimfire project?

    Re: Which CZ for my rimfire project? Awesome! I've got a 4 year old daughter that I keep eyeballing the CMP Kimbers or the Anschutz 54's on GB for. The 54's are really nice, just older. It's hard to beat for $600. When I bought my 5418MS I had it checked out by 10 Ring Shooter Supply, he's an...

    Which CZ for my rimfire project?

    Re: Which CZ for my rimfire project? I use the American for hunter class, and I have a 5418MS for silhouette class. It's an informal league so nobody says much about the varmint, I just shoot it whenever. It makes weight for hunter class and realistically isn't as accurate as the Anschutz...

    Which CZ for my rimfire project?

    Re: Which CZ for my rimfire project? I've got a 452 American and a Varmint model, I use both for silhouette and don't notice any real difference in accuracy at 100 meters. I think the only thing you'll notice when firing is weight, I hate shooting the 452 American after varmint because I...

    need opinions on vintage rifle match

    My shooting club held a Garand/Springfield match today, after all was cleaned up we were having lunch at the clubhouse and the popularity of the CMP games came up, especially how successful all the "different" matches have become; M1 carbine match, Springfield/Garand match, vintage sniper rifle...

    1903A3 ADVICE

    Re: 1903A3 ADVICE If the info on OD is correct (they cite Springfield as their source, which is persuasive) this rifle is right around the change from A3 to A4, but should be A4. But the placement of the SN seems to be in the right spot. Seems like there's a reasonable argument either way. I...

    1903A3 ADVICE

    Re: 1903A3 ADVICE I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think that's true. I too, don't think that appraisal is particularly professional or significant, but if you go to the NRA firearms museum website, they have excellent pictures of their displays. if you go to "ever vigilant", in case 65...
