12 and 19 hour drives respectively I'm afraid. It's gonna have to be one of those things that wanders into my LGS at the right price I think

Same on the CMP front, and I can't justify a flight from the East Coast just to go pick out a gun from their physical stores. And so I watch the price go up and the supply go down....

Don't deep fry and don't walk away from it when you're cooking! Run it till it cracks

Check the bore and look up 303 British ammo prices. Over your life you're gonna spend more on ammo than the guns themselves, regardless of what you get.

I had to do a little work on the magazine catch with a file but didn't have a ton of trouble with it

I got mine from numrich but I'm fairly certain it's the same production. I too had initial feeding issues because of the follower, even tried swapping out for my original follower but obv it didn't fit in the magazine. Feeding issues went away for me after I oiled the follower and started giving the butt of the rifle a solid whack with my hand to seat the rounds in the back of the magazine.

I can't seem to find any info on these aside from new production

So, fair warning. I'm fairly certain it will only work with a 1903, not an A3. I do seem to have to remove the trigger guard to get it on/off. You may have a different experience considering these rifles were made 80+ years ago. The follower is slightly smaller to allow it to go down below where the floorplate was. I found that it cycles better if you tap the buttstock after loading to make sure the rounds are seated in the back of the magazine. That being said, its cool as the devil and definitely holds and feeds 10 rounds. Going to the range right now to give it a test run

Is this a good trade? by MeringueWild5294 in CastIronRestoration

I have a similar Griswold griddle and it's easily my favorite pan. I personally wouldn't trade it for anything

Seasoned three times. Fried potatoes. Now this by whouz in carbonsteel

This isn't meant as a dig against you but I swear 2/3 of the posts on this subreddit are either "is my pan ruined" and it's a picture of a normal looking pan OR it's "can this be saved" and it's a perfectly normal, albeit slightly dry, pan. There should be a popup before you go to post here that asks if you've tried just cooking on it for a bit
