This is my rifle.
 

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I've been wanting one for almost 30 years. Finally! Built in 1945. It's in presentation condition. Bought from a Marine Vietnam vet. He was very picky and was looking to sell it to someone who would appreciate it.

Very nice find!

Very Nice!!!! :mob:

Nice, very nice! Looks like it has an IHC front sight.

Very nice indeed... I really like the wood.. Cheers.. Ron

That is a great looking rifle youve got there!!! Will you spend some time shooting her, or will she go to the safe? If you do let her out, please give a report on how she does... we dont get range reports on long guns enough around here!

Both. When I'm not shooting her that's where she'll reside. :)

Yes, please give us a range report! The wood is just georgous:chopper:

I took it to the range today. Took advantage during SWAT training. For now, I only zeroed it in at 50 yards. Eventually I will take it to a longer range where I can shoot 100, 200 and 300 yard distances. It shoots like a charm.

Not the best grouping. The left middle is where it was at before I brought in to the center. The missed heads shot were made by an Army guy. That's all I'm going to say about that. ;)

that stock is simply gorgeous...what finish is on it if you know?

It is a beautiful rifle!

Congrats!


Tony, please come by the Table (Chatbox) in the evening, and say "Hi!" we would appreciate your LEO experiences etc.

noel

great buy Tony! Love her, spoil her....but by all means fire her! That is what the ol'Marine would want :-). That's the rifle that freed a good portion of the civilized world. I'm glad it's in good hands and will be preserved for future Americans :-).

Beautiful rifle, one day I will have one as well.... Congrats.

This is my Rifle this is my Gun, this is for fighting and this is for fun... Ellison

This is my 2nd rifle.
 

Since my last visit I managed to add another Garand to my collection. Saw it in a store and couldn't walk away. Actually, I did, but came back for it an hour later. :)

Nice set! Beautiful wood in both!

Careful......when you stick them together in the safe they have a propensity to multiply. At least that's what I tell the Bride, when she sees one of my new guns! :p

Looking good!!:)

Sweet, Glad to see you are adding to your Collection,


Clyde

Nice pair of Brothers!

Very nice pair.

EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!! Safety glasses please!



But what a beautiful rifle that is.

Beautiful rifles! I especially like the wood on the first one, WOW!
