Neither of you will be disappointed, they are amazing rifles.

No, we won't be disappointed at all.

Mine's a 1940 Springfield, and he's shot it a few times.

A few weeks ago, I went to a Missouri Valley Arms Collector's Association gun show. The M1 sniper rifle exhibit left a huge puddle of drool at my feet. If I remember correctly, there were at least 10 Cs and Ds, possibly more. I'm certain they were all legit. I really should have taken a camera along. Ya, my iPhone's got one, but IMHO (and contrary to what everybody says) it sucks.

There were even a few for sale on the floor, but I wasn't going to tempt myself by looking at a tag or asking for a price. I'm sure I couldn't afford them.
