steve,
So, where do you reside? If you answered this question when I last asked, I missed it. Sorry. Where on Planet Earth are you living? I won't ask again.
Be well.

Whole Bunches "nailed it" as far as my experience is with the lovely Garand. I am only 6 years your junior, but shot my Garands in DCM matches since 1965. I acquired several Garands and...

Thanks for the nice trip down memory lane. I came home to my farm bought in 1988 in 1996. All my extended family still resides far away in Chester County. I found Tioga County in...

Do you still reside in Tioga County? Since every state is now a Border State, I keep a pump 12 gauge, loaded right for the Biden/Kamala Illegals criminalizing this nation....

It is a Free Country and people can VENT. I have a thick skin and it is akin to "water off a duck's back." LOL.

You made me laugh. I am not "hard nosed", but was paid to enforce the law. On day 2 as a town cop, I saw a car run through a stop sign. I pulled the car over and found out it was a member...

SO, What is the Question? Why do YOU want a .45 caliber ML? Are you contemplating hunting deer, bear, elk, or what? Once you define the question, we will be better able to provide an...

Many Thanks for your trip down memory lane; in 1958, at age 13, I got my first PA hunting license. I happily live on a rural Tioga County 60-acre farm with a dozen resident deer, a dozen...

I feel for you as a fellow gun owner and reloader. It seems you have a very anti-gun government restricting honest gun owners. The same happens here in several states. If you have a few...

As a teenager, I met an old mountain resident with many guns. Our family cabin was nearby and he was friendly and a gun collector. Jack's Mountain had many copperhead snakes and the neighbor lent me,...

For over 60 years, my dozen rock locks have served me well. Now and then a flint breaks and I assume it is a fault in the rock. I do polish my frizzen faces with crocus cloth often to reduce any...

I wondered that myself for a few years until I found a new RCBS chronograph for about $100.00 in one of the gun catalogs. A week later, I found a nearly new tripod at a yard sale for $2.00....

You nailed it! I agree with the oil soak and use of a sight pusher for the front sight. Moving the front sight to the Right is the easier way to go.
