M 1 Garand

[Farmer 2]

I had the honor to shoot a M1 today talk about a thrill. It is a 1942 model a friend bought. I know some people have bad views on firearms and guys and gals like us but we also preserve history. When I held that rifle thoughts of D-day ,the battle of the bulge, Iwo Jima and all the battles the G I s carried these weapons crossed my mind. I had to stop and say a prayer of thanks Now I want one I understand why Gen Patton said it was the greatest weapon ever made Any way thanks to all of you who collect and preserve these firearms.

Amazing engineering, especially for the 1920's. Garand was a genius.

Don't forget those guys also had to haul those beasts around everywhere they went.

History of each weapon is the best part of collecting real WWII pieces in the most original condition possible. Its not a cheap hobby, but rewarding and they aren't making anymore of them!
