Here is another great American gun

It's a M1 Garand. I got it from Uncle Sam via the CMP for $200 shipped to my door. It came from an old depot in South Carolina. Had been in storage since the end of WWII. It was pretty beat. I restored the stock, and re-blued some of the parts. It shoots like a dream.
The serial number puts it around 1942 manufacture. This gun could have been at Normandy, The Bulge or the taking of Berlin. I will never know. But it is HISTORY and it's in my safe.
My father that humped one of these for 6 years took it out and said, "I forgot how heavy these damn things were!"
