I picked up one of those new production Inland Manufacturing M1 Advisor pistols on consignment at a LGS and I’m planning to SBR it. While waiting on the paperwork to clear, I’m wondering what the most effective and useful threaded muzzle device would be?
I will probably go with an A1 or A2 style birdcage flash hider but I was checking to see if anyone had any other suggestions. I think flash suppression is more important with this 12” barrel versus having a brake but I’m open to combo devices so long as they don’t add a significant length to the barrel.
What is the proper way to clean a couple M2 Carbine stocks? They have 50 years worth of dust/dirt on them.
And then finish/refinish?
So, my rifle isn't accurate, I needed a recoil plate part and a beater stock to play with. Learning project. Assuming everything goes well, my brother gets a spare beater stock for his commercial M1 Carbine.

I am back with an edit to help the next person.
I grabbed the alcohol and started. A base wiped on everything. Then just worked on one part. After multiple hours, I didn't see any change.
I decided the gun needed a bath to just remove the DIRT. A little dawn and a washcloth/dish rag. I should have chose one which was not white. I can see the dirt coming off. I stopped and decided to let things dry.
I didn't get everything clean. I didn't even get all the rust out off, but I can tell this was a much better idea than just wiping with a paper towel and alcohol. If this was a few weeks ago I would go outside and use the pressure sprayer to take the first layer of dirt off. AND I AM TALKING DIRT AND RUST. I will be back in the shower with a pot cleaning pad and turn the shower on the pressure mode. To remove oil, the alcohol may be the best method, I am not there yet, but the dirt and rust need to be removed before I get to the finish.
Getting one soon from the cmp, wondering what ammo to get
First time buyer from the CMP, and I was just curious on the order timeline for field grade rifles. I mailed in my packet on 11/18/24 and just curious on what the average time is can't really find relevant information on this.
-Cheers!
1942 and a 1945 Springfield. Rack number on the top rifle and lockbar rear sights on the bottom rifle. Really happy with both!
I picked up some enblocks of m2 ball and im wondering if there’s a age point where their not safe/worth firing?
I’m 90% sure this site is a scam but it’s been up for months. Can anyone conform my suspicions? From what I’ve heard US tactical supply is the only place to get Sage products but they won’t have the part I want until mid next year and this site has it
Unfortunately have my eye on some other Black Friday deals so won’t be snagging this. But thought Id share. RIP R Lee Ermey.
M1 Garand barrels being rifled at Winchester.
Just delivered today. Four weeks from the time the order went into the mail to delivery. Very happy.
