My safety doesn’t go on when the bolt in its original set position and only goes on when I pull the bolt and back ready to shoot that time I can move the safety to be on , any idea why and how can fix that?

Agree, if I had to take a handgun into harms way. 1911A1 .45 ACP.

John browning was not our Lord and Saviour.

Nothing like facts, logic, and commonsense to make your case.

I have three!

My Fudd gun. 1943 Remington Rand M1911A1. Courtesy of the CMP, service grade.

I used to A1 in 73

Gun shows used to be awesome, not anymore.

Would like to 'see' the selector fire-safety-auto. I have never seen one, but the newer models changed from auto to 'burst'? . Took basic Jun'73. The '16's were 'auto' then. Thanks

I'll admit, as an owner of a Lee Enfield and M91 Carcano, I do let the striker forwards when empty. BUT, I personally think it's fine because I'm the only one handling them so I know they're safe, but also, I keep a grip on the exposed striker and slowly let it forwards. Never let it actually dry fire.

.45 1911 baby. Had mines for 17ys. Plan on keeping it till I die.

What organizations do more for firearm training than the NRA. What org host more firearm competitions than the NRA. What org trains more people to be firearms instructors. What org teaches more women to handle firearms and children gun safety . All the fudds I know left the NRA when they came out in support of ARs and 2nd amendment issues more than hunting issues in the early 80ties..Come on, man, you can't see the forest for the trees

sub 10 minmute mile and a bw bench pls bro. for yourself.

GRAAAGGGHHHHHH ITS A MAGAZINEEE

I use the camo alot when out hunting. Blends in well

Is it me or does it have a bit of a resemblance to an East German helmet ?

Fun as hell, now make a glock one, "i will never buy a jeep, just toyota of handguns". Never understood the 1911 vs. Glock beef, dude, buy both and an FN and a S&W, why not a Sig... buy one a year, train with 2 whole year...

“Good day mates” hurt my soul😭 Love the video dude👍

Are you wearing a DNC shirt?

this aged very well (also chocolate chip)

@09:38 No they are not the same and this a great video. I will do a video with both 1903 and 98 bolts broken down, these 1903 bolts share similarities to a Mauserr and that's about it. In fact a Winchester moidel70 shares similarities w/1903 but we do not call that a 1903 either. The key difference between a mauser98 and a 1903 for the bolt; locking lugs in a different location striker firing pin length two-piece striker unlike a mauser the firingspring is held by a firing pin sleeve striker main-body part incorporates the cocking piece where the 98 it is separated

Thx for specifics….

Milsurp prices is why I went for old hunting rifles. Managed to get a pristine 1947 made winchester model 70 w/ lyman alaskan for just a hair under $1000 I will admit I felt lucky as I feel that probably wouldve been quite a bit higher on places like gunbroker

Just before Christmas I bought a Chinese Norinco SKS type 56 and after haggling a discount, for $499, two years after your video! This tells me I got a very reasonable deal, sphalerite the sticker type bayonet and the cleaning kit, was only missing the cleaning rod, and bought it for $10 out California! I have been slowly accumulating ammo and am waiting until a warm spring day to set up outside and clean it. It has no showing cosmoline, but who knows what the inside might look like, I scoped the bore and though dirty is good, chrome plated. It is 1981 manufacture date, and imported into Atlanta, GA, between 1988 and 1993, just before the Clinton adm. shut down importing them. Mine has blonde wood…catalpha, apparently a common species in China often used for furniture and other applications. I love the classic look and have no plans to bubbaize it.

I dont know why clip is sending me 😂

THE fudd cannon

Finally someone using the term 'Fudd' accurately.

Who out there in the internet world is a pro at judging value of these old classics from photos, descriptions, etc? There’s a Springfield 1903 made in 1918 (both barrel and receiver) that I’m curious about.

Looks like a No5 bolt and trigger guard on the last one

Olive drab

A great camo for woodland is Ranger green with multicam gear

You sound like you know what you are talking about unlike most of the experts. Thanks!

The 1917 should be a pea green color like the m15 tunics collar, not brown lol and where didbyou pick up your tunic?

So no point in buying surplus any more in less you want a relic or going to resell it when it goes up in price. Might as well buy a new state of the art firearm... Their cheaper for one and shoot better.

Looks great!

Emr flora is a goofy looking.

I still don't dare wearing this cap with classic, woolen jackets. Nice video! I wanted to see how this jacket looks on a person before buying

Just perfect Norfolk Jacket! Looks cool (actyally warm)!

Then who stamped it on the side of my M-16 A1 I was issued in 1980?

The fake ones will fog up bad. They are not sealed well.

I wear repro OG 107 pants at work and they are my main pants for when it’s snowing

Hi, I’m new to the 1903. I have recently acquired a a sporterized 1903. It is an early Rock Island Armory receiver ser # 51,xxx , I believe 1906 production. It does have a later model swept and jeweled bolt. I am concerned about what I read concerning early receivers being brittle. CMP will not even allow these in their competitions. I can only assume based on the build out of the rifle for hunting that has been used as such, and is most likely safe to use. Are there considerations for ammo? Can I use modern loads? I’m not sure it has the original barrel as it has no markings, not even the cartridge chambering. It does have a Hatchers hole and a 22” barrel. The receiver and barrel are blued and polished. The receiver is drilled with an early red field scope mount, like a standard Leupold base. Am I being overly cautious? Or rightly so. I have no intention of owning a wall hanger, I intend to shoot it. How do I ensure my safety being that is a 119 year old rifle.

I’m surprised other countries haven’t made copies of this helmet. Could be a good cheep option

Received mine in Germany on December 7, 1984. Suspension system had a ring in it that would kill my head. Got a leather insert from the inside of a German WW2 firefighter helmet and it solved the issue. It got crushed under my tanks main gun. I was charged $96.01 to replace it. I loved it and could wear it 27/7 with the WW2 German mod.

I always noted that DPM was more likely to be seen than plain, drag colours. DPM tended to be very vegetation specific. At Sandhurst the Ghurka Demonstration Company wore plain green of some shade. We could never see them because they were masters of camouflage and concealment. Dull grey, brown, dark green is kinda universal.

flecktarn is the coolest camo as well as one of the most effective in my region. m81 woodland is ugly. m81 would be rad if the pattern was smaller.

Wash them with something red to get a pink hue. You’d be amazed at how well it blends.

Being casually bulletproof definitely warrants a sub.

Fudd used in a sentence: Tim Waltz is the ultimate Fudd.

I have seen a finnish M40/55 helmet being used in Ukraine, it was repainted into black and got SS decals added into it, it was most probably used by Azov or some far right related unit.
