Well, think about it guy..... If you put a rifle together and it works fine from the get-go you and I don't post about it working, just the duds get posted about. Probably well over (WAG) 75% work.

Just do a search on 1907 sling installation. I found several documents with instructions for Garand M1s with color pics.

It is for your own good dumb crazy creature. We of the elitist culture will decide what is best, and all private ownership of deadly stuff like guns and spears, swords and machetes must be eliminated from society!

Just remember that cone is for your own good, If you sneeze while licking the family jewels you could be ruined for life.

You should've eaten a couple cans of Allpo and then drank water out of the commode

Welcome from an old brown shoe Marine from Central Texas

April 16, 2018 is celebrated as Patriots in Massachusetts and several other states of the Union ( the Boston marathon is run on Patriots Day) Let us all pause and give thanks to the original Patriots that gave their all on the first Patriots Day.

I think that over gassing and too fast bolt openings cause a lot of extractor stress and damage

I have used Fiebings saddle soap for years on tack and leather. I have used products that contain Neatsfoot oil. But the saddle soap really cleans and protects. I use a applicator sponge with a little water to make a lather and work it into both sides lay it out flat to dry then buff it out with a clean cloth. Once I bought a military 1911 shoulder holster that was old and stiff with a leather mag pouch and I was off on a job so I soaked the whole thing in WD-40 and inserted pistol and mag set it in the sun to dry and guess what. After 12 years it is still nice and usable.

Nice Enfield pattern 06, I noticed it has a nice leather sling, also a model 1917? I bought several new slings at a gun shop auction back in the 1980s and have one on my Springfield M1A. Treated right they will last forever. My bad, my slings are mod.1907 made for military in 1972. (Stamped with black ink)

Okay, thanks for clarifying that .

I use the original DPMS LR308 10,20,and 30 round on the factory LR308 and use the GI and Springfield mags on the M1A. I also use magpul plastic mags on the LR308. Actually I think that the original DPMS mag is a 19 rounder. 98Z , is a " grip of mags" a fractional number of a bazillion or a multitude of a bazillion or just a $hitpot full of mags.......Which I think is a large number of which, I am not sure of?

Yes, it seems to me that there is a big choice to make. Do you want to have a unique conversation piece rifle or something to shoot every day. Unless you live in the land of milk and honey where you pick up gold nuggets off the ground and money grows on trees.

I'd leave off the wax paper.

I just sit a little closer to the cooler, you have to feed a puppy and train em to crap outside in the neighbors yard

Schidt popping into your head should have a disclaimer on it. Okay dork, if the machine is working, good you need to pull lever "B" now!..... damnit leave it be!

Question, is the center large dowel fastened to one of the sides or is it free to rotate?

Hey Wash you getting short on this stuff, only have 6 or 8K rounds? I am down to 60 rounds myself.....

Eating a sammich won't hurt

Glad to see your intro. I did a similar type of aggravation apprenticeship back in the early 1970s I found a old gunsmith in a Southern Oklahoma town. I was a newly licensed gunsmith and kept aggravating him till he took me up on my offer to work in his shop for the "experience" a big part of his work was doing rebluing of high quality guns mostly revolvers and rifles. He told me gunsmithing mostly consisted of grinding rust off and polishing old guns. I did my share of that and cleanings and tending the hot bluing tanks and oiling. In return he taught me tricks I never saw in books. He taught me to stack Dremel cut off wheels and cut keyways and sight dovetails. Cut threads and a hundred other tricks. He had old lathes and mills drill presses. How to drill and tap old super hardened Springfield receivers and how to temper and to make flat hammer springs and to forge and gas weld to build tools and build up worn parts.

You are close,very close. One more check you can do with same gun same case,same bullet, same target,same zero, same distance, same P.O.I, different powder. ...using the same sight setting check POI at half distance of original with the different powders this will provide proof arc is same and that M. V. Is same.
