Another M1 Garand of mine from Oct 1943 Correct throughout as it was carried by a WWII Vet, this is one of my Vet Buys from the 1980's, (it is wearing a different stock as the original is worth a lot, and I took the lockbar sights off as well but I still have them to put it back when I quit shooting it and yes I shoot this one).

This is the M1 Inland Carbine I bought off an ODT seller for my son as a HS graduation gift (got him a Garand for his Eagle Scout)

Cost me another $750 because I loved shooting his so much I just bought one!

BTW Will4me wants us to meet up to shoot sometime soon. I know you'd like to shoot my Eddystone.

I could bring my Smith Corona 1903A3, my Lee Enfield No 4 MK1 and my Inland. Anything else on your wish list?

Potenza should come too!

Just let me know when and where! You've pretty much got it covered..well besides a 1911 and an M1A1. I'll bring what I have...I need to take Will4me's advice and post my M1A on the CMP forums for partial trade for a Carbine.

So I met a Reservist fiend of mine and Will4me at CMP today and as always it was a blast. After getting the wife mad and spending a couple hours trying to figure out which 03 to buy I finally got one!

Of course Will4me,2ereacher, and everyone else at CMP talked me into buying a bayonet too.....

Now for pics:
