I have an M1 Carbine that isn't really doing much and I'm considering a spring replacement pack for it to improve reliability (it's...so-so at the moment) as well as a pic rail replacement for the rear sight to allow it to take a red dot.

I've seen these rail replacements before but I haven't had much luck finding them. Who has a decent reputation and makes them?

So I have a fairly small piece of land that I need to mow/cut regularly. It doesn't make sense to buy a mower to do it, it's just too small (less than 100sq ft.)

I'm intrigued by the idea of using a scythe but I also have a bad back and I'm worried that the twisting motion is going to make it much worse. I'd like to hear from anyone who uses a scythe on their property. Does it put a lot of strain on your back?
