I built GunGuesser, basically GeoGuessr but for guns. More importantly, I made a dedicated Cursed Guns game mode for communities like this to enjoy.
the site is called: GunGuesser.com
Please let me know what cursed guns to add, the pool should be larger!
I was shooting my garand, and I was using an ammo i hadn't used before, 2nd clip had an issue akin to an unwanted bump fire on the 5th and 6th round. 3rd clip did the same shit but left this in the chamber. What the hell happened here? 2nd Pic is the ammo used
Hey, so I received an M1 Garand from the CMP recently and after a little bit of fiddling, discovered that the safety is stuck in the "OFF" position and when I try to move the Operating rod back, it slides back maybe an inch before it refuses to go any further. From what i looked up, it seems that the operating rod is off the track. When i press down on the operating rod very slightly it wiggles with an audible clicking sound. I tried a bit to manipulate it to get it back on track, but no joy on that.
I read that it was recommended to disassemble the gun enough to put the operating rod back on the track that way. Would you guys recommend that? And if so, is it safe to do so with the gun in this state, since I can't move the safety back into the ON position? Thanks for listening to a noob
Good afternoon — has anyone here made the pilgrimage to CMP Talladega from California?
I’m considering flying out to purchase an M1 and a barreled action. Ihave purchased one before by mail order, and can satisfy the requirement from the CMP.
My understanding is that the rifles qualify as C&R, so there shouldn’t be any major issue purchasing them as a CA resident? I want to pick-out my next rifle and fly her home with me.
Just curious if anyone from CA has done the trip and has any lessons learned, airline transport tips, or “wish I knew this beforehand” advice.
If I were in the market for a M1 Garand that is going to be shot/used a fair amount and I'm not super picky on the historical authenticity, where should I look? One of the CMP options? Thanks in advance for any input!
Well it finally happened to me. Been reloading for my CMP M1 garand, 168gr Hornady BTHP with 47 gr of H4895. Kicked hard, locked my bolt up and blew out the primer. The rifle seems fine. Can’t figure out what I did wrong?
Looks like AIM Surplus is running through the last of their inventory of M1 Carbines they got from Royal Tiger Imports. At this time, there are 7 left in inventory and if you're on the fence about getting one, here are photos from my purchase a few weeks ago. Still need to disassemble and clean it, but I have kids so not sure when that'll get done but I wanted to share this with the community before they ran out.
Also, I'm trying to read up on everything I can to understand what I got, but if you happen to have some knowledge on this, I would be very grateful if you can share it since my time researching everything is limited to after my boys go to sleep and whatever energy I have left to read up on all the history behind this rifle.
I have a can of South Korean ammo. Most of it is standard ball that shoots fine. Some of it is this though.
Have any of you got a CMP clone A4? I'm curious as to actual accuracy from one of theirs with the full work up,whatever they call that package. With the lapping, blueprinting, Millinie stock, criterion barrel etc. I don't know if they have even released any. I want to trust their custom shop, but I am a mite skeptical
Hi. I was thinking about visiting cmp north store for my first m1 garand. Im about 3 hour from them. I would go june 5th and arrive early. Looking for a expert grade in 30.06. Would june be a good time to visit? Any advice about what month to get a rilfe?
Finally completed and dialed in my M1D build utilizing a reclaimed 1940 SA receiver from the CMP, a SA 1945 barrel (muzzle 1.5, throat 3.5 with great rifling) with a repro block, mount, and scope. Getting MOA at 100 yards with a bunch of parts that I had in a coffee can that are 85-50 years old being shot by an old man feels good. Definitely taking it out deer hunting this year…
I recently got this Underwood M1 carbine recently which I plan to take shooting over the weekend. I think it was produced sometime from March-May 1944. I’m just curious what country used this rifle, I’ve seen other posts with rifles that have similar stock markings and that have been shaved in the same spot.
Picking a vintage plainfield m1 carbine. From what I know it's the short or pistol version to say the least. Paratrooper or whatever the proper term is.
What can yall tell me about these..
Skip the WWII facts and Vietnam
Where can I find a replacement stock or where can I get one redone.
Someone stuck a M2 sear in it and just needed a new Type 1 sear. Now she works nice. But I hate installing those hammer springs.
Title says it all. Do these bullets play well with the Garand?
I finally took my problem M1 Carbine to the range. The good news is that it *finally* runs great, I only had one malfunction in 90 rounds and it may have been user error with the mag. The bad news is that it fires high and to the right, about 6 inches high and 6 inches to the right when I sighted it in at 25 yards. I have the rear sight windage nearly maxed out to the left. The 6 inches high is fine, because at 100 yards it should be fairly close to center. The 6 inches to the right is a problem. The rear sight is centered perfectly in the dovetail. The front sight does not look canted or off center to me, but it may be off by 1 degree or so to the right. Is my only option to remove the front sight and rotate it more right?
I just put an application in for the new Commercial M1 in .30-06. Does anyone know current lead times to application acceptance, payment confirmation, shipping, and receiving? Just curious because I am known to not really check my email…
When I oil my new CMP stock do I oil the insides of the wood where the receiver and metal parts sit? Not sure if that alters the fit of the assembly.
Leaning BLO for eventual patina even though I live in a high humidity area. Any tips for high humidity application?
Confident enough on methodology after spending some time on garandgear.com but didn’t know if humidity changed approach.
Thanks, fellas. I know this type of stuff gets asked all the time.
