Going on 70

hmm, that's not bad then.

Specs on Garand? I regret not buying one through the CMP before prices went through the roof.

Every time I hear a clip hit the ground I have to smile. Just thinking about when the Allies would drop those on the ground then rise up with fully loaded rifles and mow down some krauts who were charging an 'unloaded gun.' :makeout:

M1 Garand how I Love you so...

Got mine thru CMP many years ago. Manufactured in October 1942. Almost as old as I am, but in much better shape.

CMP rifles are out of sight these days. It's now easier to just buy a SA M1A and have, I daresay, a more "practical" rifle.

As much as I hate them, I want to buy a cheap 1911 for a little project I'm working on. Anyone know of any decent offerings in the $500 range?

There is a gun show coming up here pusha... I will keep an eye out. Manufacturer matter on it? Compact or full-size?

I don't want some piece of shit that's going to break.

Gotcha... I will look around and see what I can find for you and also get some contact numbers for you if you would be interested so you can contact them about it, etc.

ok thx

started this (and another OC thread) last night because I was bored and it's still going:

So here's the story:

I've been shooting my old Colt Sporter Lightweight a lot lately but I think I wanna start shooting either a LE6920 or the LE6940 my old man bought me when they were released. The 6940 has never been fired and neither have any of the 6920s.

What to do?

Mmmm... LE6920. I almost bought one before the prices went through the roof.

But the 6940 has rails which would probably deter me from keeping it around because, God forbid it needs to be used, the jury would hear about how evil and geared toward world destruction its design is.

Wasn't it though??? Haha. I kid... I kid.

designed for killing small animals

mmmm... just got a new toy :giggle:

Fine, since no one wants to guess what my new toy is, I'm just going to tell you. It's a coupon redeemable for one *free* Sage EBR stock.

So I've got the M1A National Match, the M1A Socom 16 and the full LRB M14 but now I'm feeling the need to get a little EBR in my life.

Should I start with a regular M1A or Scout Squad? 22" barrel vs. 18" barrel. Since I'll be ditching the forward rail system if I were to pick up the Scout, is it worth it?

18" is plenty of barrel for .308 so I dunno :/

***OR*** Should I just say fuck it and buy a SCAR 17 like a pussy?

SCAR 17

*BTW, I thought your new toy would be battery powered.

I'll see what you all have to say about this: I'm looking into a .308 and it has come down to the

DPMS LR-308B I think the 12lb 24" barrel model (LR-308) will be too heavy
Herstal FNAR
Rock River Predator HP

Anyone have anything to say about these as far as quality or which you would buy and why?

Weekend has been busy.

Doing a little bit of "business research" and came across this tidbit.
