Could also explain why the stocks are dinged, too. I just laugh when people get a rifle from CMP and say "My stock has this gouge in it. BooHoo! Should I send it back and complain and get another one?"

Looking at the size of that pile that poor doggie is probably still at it! Maybe it means more M1's are still on the way to CMP!

I saw that picture in the American Rifleman magazine awhile back and thought "What did that guy do to piss off his sarge"

Sad part is many/most of those rifles represent a serviceman killed or wounded. It wouldn't be in a pile if it still had a soldier to care for it, would it?

"So I says to him, I'm not pealing another friggin potato, sarge, I don't care what you do to me..."

When I first joined the National Guard in 1972 they just turned in their M1 Carbines for M16 A1s . One of the guys said that they just threw them in the back of a Deuce and a Half. When they turned them in to the officer in charge he just asked them how many they had and they just dumped them on a larger pile. He told me that he wondered how mant just "walked away".

Some 30 years ago I met a older fellow at a gun show that told me his son brought home a M1 carbine from the Air Force. He said that he "bought " it as surplus when they went to the M16 in the late 60s.

Makes you wonder!! But when I was a kid there were a few 1911A1s that were liberated during WWII and Korea. Now I'm sure that it would be hard to get away with something like that.
