    Best ammunition for M1 Garand

    ...so there I was, having dinner with my family and relatives on Dec. 24th. We decided to exchange some gifts early; my first present (from my cousin) came in an old cardboard box... Hmmm.....what mil-surp antique could this be....it had heft to it, but I couldn't even begin to guess, until, I...

    Small Pack Issue

    I thought about trying this: Empty the main bag on the 82; put the Smallpack in there. Attach the 5L and 7.5L pockets to the outside of the main bag; use your imagination where they can attach. Use Valise as previously used. Seems kinda jumbled, but at least you can carry both this way (and...

    Kit for FIBUA

    Agreed, at least on SG '03, back when we still had 82 pattern webbing some people used Eagle or Blackhawk vests as a better alternative (especially during FIBUA.) With the CTS Tac Vest, it's a moot point to wear/use something else when we're just on an EX. On the other hand, if your EN FOR...

    Kit for FIBUA

    Definitely, hitting your knees and elbows off of concrete walls/floors and window sills sucks a$$. One thing you might wanna get is a carabiner; if one of your FIBUA SOPs is "No slings on weapons," you can use it to attach the rear sling swivel of your rifle to a loop on your tac-vest. It keeps...

    Christmas is coming, post gift ideas here.

    HIJACK ALERT! Just a related question: the individual I got for the secret santa is a difficult buy. He doesn't smoke or drink and he already has tons of aftermarket kit (Kev would like him.) What seems to be a good gift for someone that gives hints and signs like a stone wall? Hijack end.

    Flashbang question

    ...this is why, lately, I check someone's profile after reading what could be "8U11$HI7!" Which leads me to my next point; never light stoves near the POL point.

    .50 cal desert eagle???

    I dunno about you guys; but I like this... The wildey supports many calibers and handloads (thanks to swappable barrels and an Adjustable gas system) making it a formidable choice for target shooters and big-game hunters alike (hunting with a handcannon, sheesh.) Probably needs lots of...

    Best ammunition for M1 Garand

    Wes, I discovered something else that was kinda cool (but might be bad;) after firing, I took my gun home and started cleaning it that evening when (to my surprize) I was able to unthread the gas port nut with my fingers (and not a wrench / combo tool.). All that time I was firing with a loose...

    Best ammunition for M1 Garand

    That sucks  :( ;if it helps (I'm sure you already know this,) www.marstar.ca sells most (if not all) of the parts for M1 Garand trigger assemblies. And they're located here in "our home and native land," no duties, no customs bull$hi7. Pricey, but still feasible.

    Best ammunition for M1 Garand

    Teddy, The way they're supposed to be loaded is the top round is to the right...don't know why (the US Army Manual states this makes loading the clips in the weapon easier for right-handed shooters, although I have yet to notice the difference.) As for the "seventh round stoppage," the history...
