  1. Rueben has this one, and another.https://dealernfa.com/shop/m1-inland-with-registered-trigger-pack-excellent-3040572-3879/
  2. Both of the green, complete cradles are SPF. I still have the red primer cradle parts available.
  3. 1st cradle with the can holder sold pending funds. 2nd cradle without can holder and cradle parts still available.
  4. Bump. These are cheap compared to anything else I've seen.
  5. HALF PRICE REDUCED! NOW is your chance to clean up those old, bent up cones and fins on your practice grenades! USGI rifle grenade nose cones and fins. New old stock replacements. Some have rust, but should clean up. I'll only ship the fins that don't have damage. Appears that I have about 300 each, but I have not counted them 2.00 each for the nose cones.Now 1.00 each All the fins are SPF as of 16 Oct. Make me an offer on the whole lot, I'll count it all out, if you are interested. Postal Money orders only. Appropriate flat rate postage depending on the quantity you purchase. Please PM me through the forum with an "I'll take x many" posted below.
  6. Have 2, M-23 50 cal vehicle cradles/mounts. Green paint, naturally. No can holders. Otherwise complete. New pins in one, as it had no pins when I got it. 300.00 each plus shipping from 99701. M-23 cradle parts, in red primer. Both marked AC Ball co. Cradle and pintle. 100.00 each part plus shipping from 99701. Bank Cashiers check, or Postal Money Order. PM me through the forum, and post an "I'll take it". First come, first served. THANKS! Just found a can holder in my pile o' stuff. It'll go with the first cradle sold. Shipping weight will be probably about 55 pounds or so. The cradle and can holder weighs in at 48 pounds.
  7. I don't see where if the item "sells" to a shill bidder that it works at all. Because then you are going to owe GB about 3% final value fees. That's about 1000.00 for a 30k item. Too much risk involved, at least from my viewpoint. I think some folks just don't know where else to look, plus they have money to burn.
  8. Wondering what brand of bolt action 50's those are in front/left center.
  9. You should check the definition of "headspace" as concerns firearms. It has nothing to do with "alignment". Headspace is termed as "insufficient", "within specification", and "excessive", none of which have anything to do with "alignment". I guarantee the word "alignment" is not used in relation to headspace adjustment anywhere in FM 23-65, TM 9-1005-213-10, or TM 9-1225. All of which you should study in depth if you are an owner or user of the 50cal M-2. Headspace is a measurement of "distance". Alignment implies parts are "lined up" in a line, and does not relate to a distance measurement. As in "the planets are in alignment"(lined up). But, having threaded, chambered, headspaced, cut and crowned a couple hundred rifle barrels, perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about....My apologies for getting your feathers out of "alignment".
  10. I've had a WW2 Frigidaire since 2001. Put about 6 to 8,000 rounds through it. The biggest problem isn't weight, cost of ammo, or anything with the gun. The problem is finding interesting things to shoot with it. Old cars without holes seem to be the most fun, (for me anyway). But, now you need a flatbed trailer, a winch, and probably best to drain ALL the fluids before you hit the range, so you don't leave a big mess. Bring a rake and a shovel too, to clean up all the pieces you will blow off the car. Remove the carpet and upholstery as well, because even ball ammo will set it on fire. Take the tires and rims off the car before you shoot it up, because that way it will be way easier to get it back onto the trailer to take to the landfill when you are done. Headspace isn't "alignment" of the cartridge, it is a measurement of distance from the breechface to a point on the shoulder of the cartridge, measured on the M-2 with a headspace gauge, which is a "Go" and "No Go" gauge slipped between the rear of the barrel and breech face of the bolt. Timing is measured with a "Fire" and "No Fire" gauge placed between the barrel extension and the trunnion, This determines whether the gun is in proper adjustment to fire slightly before the barrel extension bottoms out against the trunnion during full auto fire. There are more details how to use the gauges to make the measurements, but it's pretty simple once you are taught by a RKI. Fixed headspace guns are uncommon at best, unless you are shooting a government owned gun. Most transferables are "old school", adjustable headspace guns.
  11. If there was any good way to ship out of Alaska, I'd just send you a couple bricks. But, you pretty much have to ship a pallet load for it to work out.
  12. Kamala's just "Biden" her time......Thought that one up myself.
  13. Spoke with my sales rep today for several brands of commercial ammo. He thinks it will be a year or year and a half before things are smoothed out in the ammo supply chain. The manufacturers are working overtime to fill demand. Saw a recent video from the CEO of CCI. They are churning out ammo, and have hired and are training new employees, but it will be a while before they catch up.
  14. Be aware there are two types of magazine cap retainers on 870's . First, the one you describe, actually a detent ball. The other, works off of the newer style magazine spring retainer, that has teeth at the front, that engage corresponding teeth on the recessed area of the cap. If you have two "dimples" in the mag tube, at 6 and 12 o'clock, then you have the newer type retainer. The dimples are hidden underneath the barrel ring.
  15. The "news" article I read basically described all 3 of these people as jerks. The husband and wife had allegedly been antagonizing this jerk for a couple of years, on a fairly regular basis. He got fed up and solved the problem. Seems like the world is a better place without any of the three. I think the world would be a better place if folks would realize there are some people that need "removal".
  16. Should have kept the lights in the front, that way maybe you could trick the thieves into feeding it quarters. Or keep the bill changer going, that is even better, if they feed it dollars.
  17. Some outfits will charge a "service fee" to cash a personal check if you don't have an account with them. Wells Fargo tried that crap with me. Customer wrote me a check, I took it to Wells Fargo, the Bank it was written on, and they wanted to charge me to cash it, since I did not have an account with them. What Bullschist.
  18. Sadly, it appears she is a "closet liberal". Unfortunately, no one worth a crap will run against her. At least she is "up to speed" on gun issues, but won't toe the line on some others. She's voting against the nomination of Barrett in the procedural votes, but will, probably, ultimately vote to confirm her to SCOTUS. Long live the Republic. Doug
