They are such a neat little rifle , fun to fire and all . Really to bad they don't fit me worth a hoot or I'd have a couple :( By the way that is a very nice backdrop for the rifles .

A nice set boomer, thank you for sharing with good pictures. I have been looking at them for over 10 years now, but still have not brought one yet. Maybe someday.

I never intended to collect M1 carbines , but got both of them at a good price. Iam more into the M14 type rifles ( got 5 and picking up #6 tomorrow).

Still have not got a Garand yet, so I have to get a Garand to make my collection complete ;) .

To have a collection of Garands, one would need to have samples of all of the manufacturers, and examples of all of the running changes made. There are also close to fifty manufacturers of en bloc clips alone. So...........a good start would be equal to ten Garands, or so. Beware the Dark Side of the Force, Luke!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D

Now, you could start with something a little less grandiose, like collecting samples of all of the k-frame Smith & Wesson pistols. Yeah........that's the ticket. :oops:

Trying to tell you something ? Absolutely ! Ten years ago i was happy with a single "Blue Sky" import . Things have really gotten ugly around here of recent . Listen to JR while you still have a chance !

sniperhunter, you are correct the one on the right is younger( by about 6 months ).

Boomer ... you ain't the only one . Sometimes when it goes to the range with me , I just stare at it and sometimes forget why I went to the range . But that's not as bad as the reaction we get from Van when he sees it ! :lol:
