Quote HistoryQuoted: 03's, A3's, and 1917's are next on my list, not necessarily in that order... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: After oogling 03a3's and 1917's this weekend, I'm so damn excited. 1917's are pretty easy to find around 500-600, just make sure it isn't an eddystone with a JA (Johnson Automatic) barrel or you might be a victim of the eddystone curse. Expect a frosted bore with some pitting more than likely. Shooter grade 03A3's are in the same range up to 700 and collectible ones go up towards 800-900. Know what to look for to be sure you're not getting a re-activated drill rifle. 03's are a beast of their own. Refurbs with WWII era barrels will go for 600-800. Correct ones will go up to around 1200. Of course if you get a Mark I that adds some value, and if you're lucky enough to find one with the Pederson Device you're going to be paying a LOT for it. Also keep in mind there are re-activated drill rifles floating around out there, far fewer than 03A3's though. |

Quoted:
Tallest and I sent similar orders in on the same day. Both of them arrived with in a day of each other and both orders seemed to have been slightly misplaced at CMP for a while so we will see how fast they get filled. (My order was read to quickly by the processing department and they forgot to notice that it was for a service grade rifle and not just a guy randomly sending in his club affiliation so he could do an estore order in the future....) Did they add a case to your order yet? They haven't on mine, still says pending and it's still just showing a pre-authorization on my CC but nothing has moved in almost a month. Quoted:
I don't give a shit how long it takes. If I get two rifles with non-reparked receivers and GI wood I will be fucking ecstatic. I'm the opposite, I just want a Garand and don't care if it's matching or reparked or original or has seen action. I'll be happy with whatever I get provided I can shoot it. I don't buy guns I can't shoot. Well, except for my father's H. Aston 1842 Percussion Cap pistol; but mainly because I don't think I'll be able to get it to the point where it can be safely fired. Hey Tallest, when your m1 comes in, wanna go to cherry ridge? I have some enblocs if you want to borrow a cup nick Yeah, I'm always up for hitting Cherry Ridge. I'll let you know when I get mine. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Info on the Eddystones and curse? I'd like an Eddystone since I'm in PA. Also, any links on looking for reactivated rifles? They screwed the replacement JA barrels on too tight with a lathe and can result in cracks in the receiver. You may not noticed them, or they can show up if you try to rebarrel the rifle at a later date (though if the receiver is good a smith can use a lathe to cut the barrel shoulder down up against the receiver face and there's good chance it'll be fine.). I personally wouldn't buy an Eddystone without physically looking at it and taking it out of the stock to examine it carefully with a magnifying glass/loupe/magnifying glasses. I'm still looking for one since I'm from PA as well. As far as reactivated rifles go you need to look for evidence of welds at the mag cut offs and on the bottom of the receiver where the barrel mates up. There's 3 variations of drill rifles, all of them had a steel rod dipped in salt water dropped down the bore, pinned in place, chamber filled and bottom of chamber cut with a torch.
telltale giveaways are discoloration of the metal from the weld (heat affected zone/HAZ), or lack of park in that spot because the welds won't take it. Mag cutoff detent divots missing, or that are has damage from rotary cutting tools, files, sanding. . I forgot to mention 1903's you need to pay attention to the SN as well. Low number rifles are considered wall hangers for both Rock Island and Springfield. Some people shoot them so long as they have a bolt marked NS. |

I have an Eddystone with JA barrel which I have shot for years. The problem has existed but isn't as big an issue as some think. As for checking for potential cracked receiver I would suggest an old method I have used; remove the stock, soak the receiver with mineral spirits as it dries if there is a crack it will be visible.

Yup that's a good method, but I don't know of many sellers (gun shops and individuals) who will let you do that. Most look at you like this  if you ask to take the stock off or strip down something. Collectors typically get it, but not everyone's a collector. |

I miss the days of being young and stupid;
Does rifle look nice? Yes/No Does bore look good? Yes/No If both are yes, buy. Now there's all kinds of crazy obscure shit to remember. My fault is I'm a jack of all trades (with literally everything) and it's incredibly hard to retain e-v-e-r-y-thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Mid to late 2017 is still my estimated end date for the complete Garands if we receive no more." Is what Mark Johnson from CMP said. What the he'll does this mean? You can read into that multiple ways honestly. The end result is still the same. we are getting closer to the end of the line unless more rifles, which were loaned to other countries a long time ago, start coming back. The fat lady started singing back in the late 50s early 60s when the last factory M1 rolled off the line. At that exact moment the supply became finite and began dwindling. |
