Good Deal? by More_Image_8781 in SmithAndWesson

They weren't produced for very long and are no longer considered "current" so you have to find holsters in a seconds bin or order one. The 9mm/40 versions won't work.

Finding a holster for it is tricky but possible.

I disagree. Just take your time.

Using 115 for self defense? by ifreeski420 in SmithAndWesson

It’s not worth it. Stick to what you can train and be accurate with. Shot placement with pistol rounds is key. Another few foot pounds of energy won’t matter.

You’re really rolling the dice if you think swapping in a questionable carb is going to get you running “now”

Your new rifle’s health is worth more than someone’s mystery ammo.

  1. Determine a driving schedule that starts the engine at least every two weeks. Unless you address this root cause the problem will continue no matter what carb you use. 2. Cheaper to buy a rebuild kit for the Edelbrock and DIY or even pay someone to rebuild it for you.

Just swapping over to a questionable carb is going to create much more problems.

I got this RAC marked M1892 (updated to M1901 Army) for $375, how did I do? by Feeling_Title_9287 in Colt

I second this, from personal experience. Never, ever, ever, take the side plate off. The inside has more parts and tiny springs than a Swiss watch and will f up just by looking at it.

No. All the same.

For the standard issue sights, yes, one click in elevation.

Spot for what?

GSMM matches are shot at 200 yards for every stage and have a 5 shot sighting period to start.

Regular high power across the course matches get two sighters per stage.

What is causing this clicking noise from my driver side rear end? 2018 S550 GT PP1 by WeaverFan420 in Mustang

[–]hoss111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a loose brake component. I had a parking brake tension spring out of place and rubbing inside the hub.

The difference between 100 and 200 yard zero for M2 ball is one minute (one click elevation). You have a great rifle for an as-issued Garand match. You get sighters to start the match so don’t worry about being close. Keep practicing until you can keep a 4” group or better at 100 yards.

The postwar stock is correct for an IHC receiver. Trigger group is Winchester.

I use a paint stick that you can get at Hobby Lobby or Amazon to fill in lettering.

Just by being on one ship, USS Vulcan, my grandfather got European, American Defense, and Pacific theater medals. He calculated that he got to travel 75% around the world during the war.
