God will only truly be happy with you when you crack some communist or Nazi piece of trash in the skull with the butt-end of that rifle.
H&R M1 Garand
4
I must be living right,
I have a plethora of AR rifles and a good friend has been bugging me for one I built, for a while. Last weekend I finally relented and sold it, some mags and some ammo to him for a great price. He knew that with the current situation I could get more but getting to please a friend was the right thing to do.
I do believe in Karma and it seemed to work out for me this time. Early this week a M1 Garand came in the shop on trade and the owner asked me to put it out on the shelf. The Garand has been a dream rifle for me for a while but around here they are slim pickings and usually in rough shape commanding high prices, this one looked great, had a great price and I had the money from the AR sale so I jumped. Went to put it in the box and noticed it was a CMP gun with Bayonet and a full bandolier of ammo, so I figured I had scored.
Got home and stated researching it. It was made by Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. between 54'-56', I started to notice that all the parts were marked HRA and seemed to match, made me think this thing may be more than a field or service grade rifle. Called a friend who put me in touch with a local Garand expert and made a appointment to have him check it out. After his inspection he confirmed that it looked great and told me that it may be a Collector grade, if no one had removed it, all Collector grade rifles will have a Armorer's note in the butt stock. A quick look confirmed it. Not only a collector grade with all matching parts and stock but also the throat and muzzle were graded a 1 (best grade) by the armorer and purchased from the CMP in 10'. He also said that most likely the bayonet and bandolier were purchased at the same time and the gun had probably never been fired since it left the CMP.
Don't want to shoot the rounds that came with it so I am loading up some 30-06 Garand loads tonight and taking it shooting in the morning with my wife. Pretty sure I am going to love it, just got to keep my wife from trying to lay claim!!

I think when i wrote that i was asking an honest question and i resent your statement referring to it be crazy......
Ron, fast cars are not meant to be worshipped in a garage. Supermodel wives should frequently be... ahhhh, taken to the movies. Classic battlefield rifles should be shot, often, quickly, and accurately at Nazis, zombies, communists (but I repeat myself), and violent criminals by law-abiding, God-fearing Americans.I think when i wrote that i was asking an honest question and i resent your statement referring to it be crazy......
To suggest otherwise is conservatism to the point of stifling repression. Get out and live a little! We are only granted this one, brief look at God's creation. Strike while the iron is hot, amigo! ;-)
