Welcome to the board.
Those c&r licenses can get expensive , more with all the money you think you are saving.

I am crippled up pretty bad, I would shoot my M1 rifle in my club's highpower rifle matches. I didn't wear any of the gear the other shooters used, just a t shirt between me and that buttplate. I picked up at least one good bruise each time as it would get away from me during the rapid fire string. ...

Welcome ( back ).
You may have been a member. We had a crash a couple or three years ago. Lost a bunch of stuff. But are trying to rebuild.

Wasn't looking but found this page on replacing leather knife handles.

Thank you for posting the photo's. It's a shame that S/S stock is now in different hands. Greed will kick in and the prices will soar. They already did. Centerfure systems has a bunch of Mausers from them as well as bayonets. S S had things organized pretty well for the parts. For instance the mode...

It should stay in place. And if you are good with a file it won't look to bad. Put a sight hood on it when you get it to the height you like and you are good to go.
But a factory sight will look better.

Barley corn is the term for that type of front sight.
Like rapidrob wrote, use the jb weld, shape it and sight your rifle in. Then figure out which height you need.
I saw this and was going t suggest the Swede front sight as they are sold by height.

Glad to do it.

Stumbled on this post, very interesting, and I am way back on the first page.

Pics from before Springfield Sporters closed down. Lots of pics. They really seemed to have it organized. https://zbroya.info/ru/mobile/blog/7590_magazin-zapchastei-k-antikvarnomu-oruzhiiu-v-ssha/ https://laststandonzombieisland.com/2019/08/22/salute-to-springfield-sporters/?fbclid=IwAR0zt8qn0hw0QNX...

If they want to save money and still make a good movie they should hook up with reenactors. Those guys will have the correct weapons and uniforms. Lots of vehicles. Hell they will dig the trenches as well... I finally saw " they shall not grow old", I liked it very much. More so as I don't think I h...

Ditto. Very cool...

Cool souvenir. Looks like a standard Kyber Pass made copy of the Martini.
The stock looks like it was for another rifle entirely.
Nice wall hanger.

I actually just saw a guy who had a stock stamped with Chinese characters.

Yep, Chang Kai Shek and his side got a bunch of them.
