I wish that I had a rack / safe place to be able to really admire and enjoy my tiny collection. The safe hides all.

Looks great @Flammenwerfer

2 Mail order Service Grades arrived yesterday that were very nice!

The 5.4 million that I thought was an HRA is actually a 11-54 Springfield. I may make that my back up shooter instead of WWII Field Grade one I have now.

The 2.2 million has a WWII barrel and an SA rearsenal etching on the receiver leg. It has a WRA Trigger housing group and hammer that I'll put on one of my spare Winchesters.

As always the ME/TE gauged lower with my gauges than the CMP hang tag. I think they are either doing them so fast or their gauges are worn! No complaints here.
Don't think I could have hand picked better ones.

I did have a sticky note attached asking for USGI stocks if possible.View attachment 902028 View attachment 902030 View attachment 902032 View attachment 902033

I talked with the store manager about the hang tag TE & ME readings. He said most of the time they round up. So if tag says TE 2, it could actually be 1.5 or less.

Nice looking rifles you have there.

Thanks, that is why I always bring a gauge to the CMP and any Gun Show!

That is something I have never owned. A M1 garand. I just always heard if you use the wrong ammo you get a bent operating rod.

Seems to take away from the nostalgia of it though making changes to a old battle system.
