I've heard that a DD214 is sufficient to qualify for purchase from CMP without membership in a CMP-affiliated club, but the application form states that membership is required for all. What's the story?

My H&R M1 receiver is engraved "LEAD 1-65" on the rear strut. Anyone know what this means?

Sorry to keep boring people with my M1 infatuation, but.......well, you know. This H&R receiver/SA op rod, trigger group/SA 1964 barrel rifle shoots 2 1/2" at 100 yd with LC66 m2 ball, and with my inital handload of 4064/48.5 gr/147 FMJBT/F210 primer shoots 1 1/2". Unmodified. Amazing for a...

Are these made of pure lead? I shoot a lot of air (no wisecracks please) and would like to use the lead for casting muzzleloader bullets. Failing that, anyone know of a source for pure lead?

Is there a source for surplus M2 ball out there? Can you buy it from CMP whether or not you've bought a rifle from them? Do you need to be in a club to do so?

My range has a locked gate with combination lock. Whenever I shoot there, I lock the gate behind me after entering, so that whoever comes in after me is definitely a member. If I arrive to find the gate open I lock it. A month ago I was there with a buddy and two gus came to the firing line...

I have 100 rds of this ammo. I pulled a bullet, and the powder seems to be in great shape, no dust or crumbling, and still smells like ether. Corrosive primers, of course. The brass seems to be in good shape. I was planning to shoot it, but I saw on another site (Scott Duff) which was selling...

Anybody know where to find one?

I've ordered my 147 gr FMJ bullets, 500 of 'em, hope they work out. NOW.........any recs for the recipe? What powders/charges for use in the M1? Any tricks or lessons learned?

Why does it seem that all the centerfire match jacketed rifle bullets are hollow points? How does that contribute to accuracy, if the shape and even condition of the point are relatively minor factors compared to the base? Is it just a way of increasing ballistic coefficient by making the bullet...

With an empty magazine, no clip in place, and the bolt locked back, when I depress the follower and pull back slightly on the op rod handle then release, the bolt often stops at the point contacts the follower. This is when I'm being careful not to let the bolt slam shut on an empty rifle to...

Just got my first M1! It's a Korean-era H&R with RIA rework in 1965 , SA 1965 barrel, SA trigger group, nice stock, brilliant bore, Parkerizing in great shape. This is the first time I've been able to get to know these guns up close, and it strikes me: Isn't this about the strangest mechanism...

I seem to recall someone making special 2-rd clips for M1 to give 10 shots in matches. I tried shooting a match once, and as I am a lefty it was a bit like the old Chiefs used to say in the Navy, "like two monkeys trying to make love to a football". Anyone making those these days?

Midway has bulk .308 147gr FMJBT for sale, about $50/500. I want to load for my M1. Anyone have experience with these bullets? Accuracy reasonable?

Is it really essential to remove this when reloading military brass, specifiallly Lake City M2 ball? Can they still be primed safely? If not, should I use a swager or can I shave the crimp off with something like a case neck deburr tool? I'm going to be loading for M1, so I want to be sure there...

Thinking about an M1 shooter. Not for plinking; I'd like good accuracy but it doesn't have to be Natl. Match. I've never owned one. Any basic advice on shopping for M1s?

Any S&W Model 41 fans out there? Mine's a 1970 bull barrel, blue, a sweet match pistol I used a lot at Canton, OH. Anyone like the long barrel better?

Anyone have experience with improving accuracy in these rifles? I have a lamnated stock 77/22 which shot very well until I took the stock off to checker it, and after reassembly with NO bedding modifications it went to the dogs. Having glass bedded a few rifles, I did the same with this one...
