M1a Gunsmith/Armorer in NJ?

Recommended Posts

Listen to Pizza Bob, call Carl Leisinger in Ewing he is excellent with M1's and M1A's . I have used him before and would highly recommend him  (609) 540-1902

 

Thanks for the telephone number - I'll give him a call today. Ewing's not that far from me so not having to ship the rifle is a big plus.

Good choice.

I think so too based on some other recommendations that I've received for him as well. The Brown Truck showed up yesterday with my parts, so I'm all set to drop everything off and let Carl do his thing. I'll post some "before" pictures of my rifle later on, but I'll probably wait to post the "after" pictures until I can complete the finish job on the stock (I picked up a new unfinished walnut stock from Fulton Armory - I'm going to finish it using just pure Tung oil and some Gunny paste).

Glad that it worked out for you. Carl is a good guy and a great friend.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

 

I completely agree - Carl is a great guy and I'm glad that you recommended him to me.

 

I learned a lot of practical information about the M1a in just a few short conversations with him. Carl's even got me considering setting up a small re-loading station in my garage after a short conversation about the overall process (it turns out that I was over-complicating the process in my head).

I'll try to post some "after" pictures over the weekend while I'm at the range breaking in the new barrel a little.

 

So far, I can say that it feels like a completely different gun with the shorter barrel and the hooded gas lock front sight (the thin front blade is very easy to pick up and focus on).

 

I'm still in the process of finishing the walnut stock that will eventually replace the plastic SAI factory stock that on it now. I've got two coats of 50/50 tung oil and mineral spirits rubbed in so far. I'm letting the second coat soak in for another day, after that I'll start rubbing in 4 or 5 coats of 100% tung oil.

Here's a shot of the new front end of the rifle:

It's got a Springfield muzzle brake and an SEI hooded gas lock front sight. All of this is sitting on the end of a new Criterion 18.5" barrel.

 

I put 100 rounds through it today and it functioned perfectly. I still need to tweak the elevation a little bit but the windage is fine at 100 yards

    • In a ruling that had both proponents and opponents of the Second Amendment do a curious double take, a federal judge has ruled that an illegal immigrant was wrongly banned from possessing firearms. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled on March 8 that the defendant, Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who is residing in the United States illegally, had his Second Amendment right’s violated when prosecutors originally charged him with 18 U.S.C § 922, which bars illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition. “The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores,” Judge Coleman wrote in her ruling. “Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.” The defense team for Mr. Carbajal-Flores had argued in their recent motion that the government could not show the law referenced was “part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms.” In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the government must show that each regulation “is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” The precise wording of the high court’s decision was enough for the defense to argue successfully in favor of dismissal. “Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United States,” Mr. Carbajal-Flores’ lawyers said. “The government argues that Carbajal-Flores is a noncitizen who is unlawfully present in this country. The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon. Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020,” Judge Coleman wrote. The ruling has promoted a large range of reactions across the legal and Second Amendment community. Writing on The Reload, attorney Matthew Larosiere agreed with the decision saying that even those in the country illegally are part of “the people” the Framer’s mention in the Second Amendment. “To find that illegal immigrants are outside of ‘the people’ protected by the Second Amendment, you must believe that the Framers were talking about a different ‘people’ in the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments,” he wrote.

    • Get rid of 'em all!
    • They get by with a little help from their friends. Like five years of increase. Here are the Republicans that voted to raise New Jersey's gas tax (nj1015.com)
    • So...  1) The CNJFO didn't exist back then. IT is currently operated by people who were just as angered by the dysfunctional spate of 2a advocacy groups NJ has been saddled with since the 91 AWB. There existence seems to have ushered in cooperation and coordination at both the state level and with national entities.  2) The ANJRPC isn't the turd of an organization it used to be. It genuinely seemed to exist solely to waste everyone's time while the NRA mothership used us to drive fundraising elsewhere. It seems to have moved away from that.  Currently I give to those two groups locally, and to FPC, GOA, and SAF nationally. Although I have to say that SAF is on the bubble. They do good work, but are way too comfortable chipping away slowly at things on a single front.  Basically I set aside the price of a case of ammo each year. Around Christmas they each get $25. Then hand out the rest of the funds as I see things I want to back and or fight.
