it can't be cocked because of the strap or loop going over the hammer.

Look, man, I'm distressingly retarded. If something can possibly, or impossibly, be fucked up, I will manage eventually.

Also, 1911s are carried cocked and locked, so you really just need the thumb and grip safeties to be deactivated. Extremely unlikely, but it really doesn't cost any extra to not have to deal with in the first place.

According to the reps that CMP M1 should be coming out sometime in 2026 and under $2000. It'll be a combination of new and old components, and although the receivers had machining lines the other new manufacture parts (like the gas block) didn't. Its probably related to all the receivers being prototypes. Supposedly tanker variants will be coming down the line eventually.

Great to hear. I wouldn't mind a new production M1 in .308 at all.

Already have my 1943 Winchester.30-06

from my experience, the magic lower bound for the current AR market for something decent is around $700.

If you're getting one online, KAK Industry puts a nice one together for about that price.

A buddy of mine has now destroyed two PSA uppers just trying to get the barrel nuts off. Not sure if it's insane gorilla torque, something crazy like Rocksett or both, but they really don't want you taking their stuff apart.

They probably use a torque wrench and just go until it stops..... Makes assembly faster.

They still have some they've rechambered that are original manufacture. Expert grades in .308 have a brand new barrel and stock. $1150 plus $35 shipping. If you want a .308 Garand probably worth getting one of those as it's cheaper and still has some history behind it. In a way the new production stuff is cool, but at the same time I think it is a sure sign that they are genuinely running out of parts to make originals and it's kind of sad. If only somebody would do something about all of them that were in South Korea that Obama blocked from coming in. If they still exist
 
I want a .308 Tanker Garand for some reason.

I can't put my finger on the "why not just an M1A?". I think its because the ping is just "neat" and that if I wanted what the M1A offered I would just get a FAL instead.

A new production one would make it "guilt free" as I wouldn't be cutting up an actual Garand to make one.

Holster shopping is gay and the build-a-bear workshop sites typically don't have reviews or have views of belt loops.
Any recommendations for decent companies that do semi-custom leather holsters? I'm looking for an OWB for my new innawoods cannon.

El Paso Saddlery was recommended a while back, and they have a wide variety. My complaints include them not having more than one picture per product and their neat gimmick holsters don't cover the trigger. What the fuck does the lining look like, would I need the lining so the button snap on the inside doesn't scratch my gun? What does the belt loop look like? Fuck.
Diamond D is apparently highly regarded but I both hate the look of the vacuum seal and I've got bad experiences with that kind of high friction fit loosening too quickly after break-in.

Tucker Gunleather and Privatier Leather. I own holsters from both companies and they have been excellent. If you want to spend a bit more and are willing to wait several months, then Nightingale Leather is my favorite custom holster maker.
 
I saw this on Reddit. Absolutely amazing listing.

You definitely shouldn't be using leather holsters then. You'd be looking at a level 3 Kydex hostler.
I have no idea why but this guy is set on a leather holster. Probably because it looks nice, which I can understand. I love wood furniture on guns, even though it provides no tactical advantage whatsoever.

When you have the luxury of choice you're also allowed to complain about the options you're given, isn't life grand?
Either way I decided on a flap holster for complete coverage and ease of drawing.

I needed a blow torch and a bench vise to loosen mine, I saw the upper receiver flexing by the ejection port.
But for one I got years earlier I was able to get it off by St Floyding it on a chair and using channel locks. In hindsight that was probably closer to the right amount of torque

well, Loading a M1 is not that much slower than a M14. The en-block is great.
 
If this becomes reality I guess I'll only be able to afford to shoot .22LR.
That or just stop shooting period...
Still our goy right?

They're reciprocal tariffs and the countries affected are much worse off than us on their best days. If they decide to play ball, which they should if they aren't retarded, disaster can be averted.
Unrelated to the thread topic, this sort of thing is the US' Sampson Option.
