That's quite an addition to our small list, Dick. It sure would be nice to know which ones, or how many, are still in the short stocks with the sling and ring and Model 1896 rear sight. Thanks. Yes, it would, but the list is from long ago, and I just wasn't noting thaings like that, unfortunately. ...

Wasn't the whole thing also posted here - and so should be available somehow - or was it by link reference only? Hope it isn't gone - was kinda neat . . .

If not announced previously, I have found my old file, compiled over the years, of 1898 carbines that I had reason at the time of entry to believe were genuine. I only saw a very few of them in person and was not keeping track of physical details. All that I can say is that I did not enter anything ...

I've read numerous articles both ways on the China/Taiwan issue, and there is no consensus. One faction says they can/will - the other says the negatives for China are too great.

Cannot comment on steel quality or method of hardening, etc. between the two actions, but one salient point that I've always heard is that the Norwegian action was lapped, or otherwise machined so that the safety rib also bears on the receiver, providing almost double the locking surface in contact ...

I agree about WW3 and the deep shit. The Donald is FAR from perfect, but he is, IMHO, way ahead of whoever is in second place. The FIRST thing we need to do is to get the Dems OUT. THEN worry about a more appealing candidate going forward in the future.

Well, Dick, you do live on the left coast where all logic is thrown to the wind! I wish to note that much of rural/agricultural Northern California is akin to the midwest, though "waterman", who lives relatively near me, is in something of a hot-pocket of libs. The rest of the state, howe...
