Congrats Snuffy!

gonna get a 30 carbine blackhawk to go with her?

Snuffy · 12-11-2010, 07:10 PM

LOL Pal I have had one for almost two years now. I walked into the bore house and Bob pointed to the wall and said it said your name when you walked in. So your behind me this time pal. I was going to get a holster rig made by a fellow shooter for the blackhawk, now I will seeif he can made some mag pouch's for her as well. The Bore house mags for her 30 rounders and has a great score for ammo and bullets and brass as well. So all is good. Christmas came early for me.

Snuffy is living large! You deserve it, my friend.

Snuffy · 12-11-2010, 11:59 PM

Thanks mac, after all the crap I have been through in my life I sorta see it the way you said it. The bucket list, guess we all have to have one at least we should. No matter how small or large it is we all need one.

I really like my 30 carbine rifle and hand gun, enjoy!
If you can find them try some Hornady 100 GR SJ in the Blackhawk.

sheepdog · 12-12-2010, 05:21 AM

...congrats to you, Snuffer...that M1'll probably follow you everywhere...

tx gun runner · 12-12-2010, 06:02 AM

There is a differents in mags . Cheap junk one are normally junk and jam . Mil are the best , if you can find them . Some stay open on last shot ...

Snuffy · 12-12-2010, 07:43 PM

The one the came with it doesn't but the 5 30 rounders I picked up today will lock open last round. Could have got a 40 rounder but it was after market. haven't heard much good about them. Thanks for all your help always wanted a set up like this but never thought I would get it lol.

Snuffy · 12-13-2010, 09:29 AM

Moving on and up in my level of experances and education thanks to all of you and the computer. I now know how to field strip my M1 Carbine, let me tell you this little lady sure needed a bath too. Even cleaned the gas piston, talked with a pal of mine and he saidthe nut needs to be tight. He has a wrench but didn't know where its at right now. But he did tell me I could use a punch, so I used my punch set I got from Brownell's. That little brass punch set is worth its weight in gold at times. She is all clean and tight where she needs to be tight lol. I am tell ya'll ifshe was a puppy she would be all over me. I have a lot of guns and most of you know but this one sure has taken to me and I have taken to her. Her with the Blackhawk, great combo.
I have to wait until deer season is over until I can shoot her, but I can wait well maybe I can. When is deer season over?????

Good move...th' 30 Carbine is a GREAT little weapon, IMHO...

There's just something cool, classic n' "all american" about them. Hope you get to shoot it soon...and, let us know what you think afterwards!

Snuffy · 12-13-2010, 10:29 AM

Yes sir will do that

tx gun runner · 12-13-2010, 12:15 PM

I got mine out of a collection of carbine in 1972 . It never had a bandit lug and I changed the rear sight . The stock is has been linseed oiled , which was common to do if it was going to be carried in the jungles and has all the marking on it .

Snuffy · 12-13-2010, 01:02 PM

What type of rear site did you puton it?

tx gun runner · 12-13-2010, 02:27 PM

Took the 2 hight flip up off and put adj one on it .

Snuffy · 12-13-2010, 05:42 PM

mine already has that one on. So I am good.

tx gun runner · 12-13-2010, 06:02 PM

Do you have a flat or round bolt

Machinist · 12-13-2010, 06:09 PM

It seems to get flatter with age.

Everything else gets rounder.
