Loading Clips
 

I just spent a hour and a half cleaning and loading 50 clips. Summers coming and it's time to put in some serious range time.

What a great way to make you feel better! Fun in the sun!

:biggrin:

Re: Loading Clips
 

What the hell's a clip? :s10: Seriously, all that shooting can get EXPENSIVE, but what the hey, have fun!

Re: Loading Clips
 

Yup I said clips not magazines.

I have to wait until next week to take the old war hero out.

Re: Loading Clips
 

OK I stand corrected, but your picture is awesome!

Re: Loading Clips
 

Love the ping , when they fly!
Have a navy M1 in 308 that my
dad shot at camp perry in the early 60's
and yes 308 and not 30-06.

Re: Loading Clips
 

nice pic.
A few hundred more and you can start building the first wall of your AMMO fort.

Re: Loading Clips
 

I was bitten by the M1 bug recently and now every time I get near one I get an urge to buy. To make matters worse I have a friend with over twenty!

Re: Loading Clips
 

I want to pick up another rifle and can't decide what to get myself. Saiga .308, M1 Garand, PSL-54c, something in one of those calibers.

Just can't decide.

Re: Loading Clips
 

The M1 won WW2 for us, and is one of the great
Battle rifels that have been made.

Re: Loading Clips
 

did you pick up surplus '06 some place?
I have been looking for some but unable to locate any.
By the way for low light shooting you can take some white chalk and make the sights a whole lot easier to use.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Both of the guns are 308 cal.
And no they were not surplus,
and yes for low light white works
but for day I use carbide flame carbon
to blacken the front sight on the M1A
the Grand has a globe sight on the front.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Let me understand:
You have an M1 Garand chambered for 30-06?
It can't shoot 308 Nato?
Correct?
Do you also have a M1 Carbine?
Be well.

PS The M1 Carbine, as you probably read the story, was designed by a prison inmate in N Carolina, and made in the prison work shop.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Hmmm, I've been looking for some 06 also.....


Ball would be great, Match would be better.....


Anyone have some or know of some?


PM me please!!!!!!!!

Re: Loading Clips
 

Hi,
The M1 is a Navy Grand and it is a 308 the
navy did that ...
I know most fokes think all M1's are 30-06 but
not true..
And look up the history on the carbine
when they made the movie carbine willams they kinda started a simi-myth.
Look at Wikipedia m1 carbine and that is closer to the
truth..
Live long and prosper...:15_1_70v:

Re: Loading Clips
 

Just got my "ATF alerting size order" of 30-06 from the CMP in the mail today... I ordered it on 12-29-08, so it looks like a 3 mo backlog from the Citizens Marksmanship Program. Takes a while to get it, but its the cheapest game in town.

Re: Loading Clips
 

The CMP ammo just went up today from $67 for 240rnds to $86.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Good thing I got my most recent order in a few days ago. Three months wait for .30-06, 5-6 month wait for .30 Carbine.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Pretty sure the Mosin Nagant and T-34 won WWII, chief.

Re: Loading Clips
 

Should have said for the U.S. side of that war.

Russia''s Moin Nagant and T-34 were both the
best in their class, for sure. And that country
suffered the largest loss,es and gains of all
the allies.

Peace. :36_3_12:

Re: Loading Clips
 

Accepted, I just can't stand revisionist history.

Re: Loading Clips
 

yeah... lots of those in the Pacific...:bear_rolleyes:


A-bomb had nothing to do with it either....

Re: Loading Clips
 

I did a trade. I gave 1000 rds. of .308 Port for...

800 rds of 30.06 (mix A.P. and ball)
40 rds. Black Talon .308
50rds. Black Talon 9mm
and some other odd ball ammo.

The guy didn't want to sell so we worked an ammo trade.

:biggrin:
