New member of the family
« on: August 31, 2008, 10:30:56 PM »
Meet the newest member of the family stemming from the podcast March 5, '07 when Michael discussed his want to add a major caliber battle rifle to his collection, most notably the greatest rifle ever designed, the M-1 Garand. I picked this up at the Camp Perry CMP store this past Friday and she sings like a bird. Or at least Booms like some kind of lead slingin' bird!

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum. Great looking Garand. Always glad to see these rifles still available and given a good home.

Love the last round "ping". Watch that thumb, and enjoy.

Thanks for posting pics.

Good shooting.

THAT is a beautiful Garand... exactly like the one I will get some day when the funding and the authorizations come in. I've always wanted one. Enjoy.
