My very first M1 Garand. Just got it this morning. It's a Springfield service grade from the CMP. I've been taking a heat gun and slowly taking the grease off of the stock all day. Serial number puts date of manufacture in 1955. I think these are more addicting than AR's

Socom 16 with Rail cluster, Delta P Design thread adapter, YHM QD mount and Schuster Adjustable gas block. I'll try to get a pick up with the can.

Correct 1954 HRA and new CMP Special Service M1s:





Got to have a grenade launcher:





New Springfield M1A and Mil Spec 1911:



The Mil Spec is the first 1911 I've owned since my time in the Army ('67 - '70). Very reliable and good shooter:



NM sights help with the 300 yd bowling pin shooting:





1943 NPM I've owned for 40 years and shot little and a new AO M1 Carbine shooter. It's reliable and very accurate for a carbine:



A few bits from my NPM carbine collection:



Our '54 Correct Garand and pristine '43 NPM Carbine:

Took the garands out of the safe today for a little sunshine and a group picture. The warm sun allows the stocks to "sweat" a bit before a good wipe down.






Top: IHC
2nd: Correct HRA
3rd: '44 Winchester (mostly Winchester parts + USGI springfield)
4th: '43 Springfield with correct parts, except for a slot gas plug and round clip latch. It wears an SA GAW stock (late for this rifle)


The Winchester and Springfield made it out to the range 6/6/12 in honor of the 68th anniversary of the D-day landings in Normandy.

I'm sure this will make a few people cry, but I like it.




Not done yet, still needs an Aimpoint T1 on scout rail.

I see what ya did there with the front sight post. I would have thought a flip up FS would be too high for the irons to be useful.
