In memory of a Canadian that had the sense to become an American and avoid all those taxes and tariffs! Happy Birthday, a week late, John Garand! The father of the greatest battle rifle of the 20th century :rock:
-
If my dad were alive he would certainly agree. Is that your rifle?
My dad actually believed the M 1 was created though a combination of Divine Intervention and John Garands faith.
-
That's a really nice piece. Matching parts manufacturers I would presume
-
Yep mine. Original IHC from 1953. Barrel is tired but still shoots well.
I have a beautiful Springfield 03 from 1943 that is great condition but my shoulder gets tired after a box of shells LOL
-
Very nice! :cheers: What are the tariffs on it? :icon_lol:

Did not even pay sales tax on this one :)...Normally, sales tax around here is 8.25%
-
One of the guns I've actually shot!
...I should change that - I haven't shot Steve's M1, just a friend of a friends.
-
Did you just buy the rifle, Steve?
-
The real question is how does it work on the rattlers and coyotes?
-
No, I bought it three or four years ago. I just saw it in my safe the other day and decided to go outside and put a couple of clips thru it.
It would definitely be Overkill for varmits that small
-
Lol I know - it’s basically a semi auto 30-06 right?
-
yes, it's 30-06 and it's not bad at all to shoot because it is gas operated. the 03 is also 30-06 that is a copy of the mauser action and is bolt action...no pad on the butt of the stock and it gets old quick these days lol I have an 8mm Mauser which hurts more and some Mosins which are the Russian equivalent to 30-06 and they all smart...one does not realize how much those rubber butt pads do until one shoots old guns with a metal plate on the butt
