My two new toys

After a long process of doing the requirements, my dad took a 5 hour drive to Anniston, AL in the Mustang, and came back with these two beauties
Two 1943 Manufactured vintage M1 Garand rifles I'll start off with boring info: Both the receiver and my stock have matching serial numbers (that's all I have checked so far) My dad's receiver was manufactured in February 1943, mine was manufactured in October, 1943. Keep in mind they are both "Field Grade" rifles, which means they are by no means mint condition, these rifles have been through a lot of work and have had some parts replaced over time, but all of the parts are USGI, and we have not cleaned the cosmoline off yet (which is a preservative goo they put on), and the pictures suck because it's a shitty camera, my brother has our good one in Louisiana. Will get better pics when he's back, because these certainly do no justice Now the pics Mine on bottom Attachment 25142 Mine on right Attachment 25143 Mine on bottom http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Kevin-/g6.jpg Mine on left Attachment 25144 |

Mine on left
Attachment 25140 Mine on left Attachment 25141 Both of the rifles are in pretty good condition, by far the two best in their "grade" at the store that day, mine had the best Muzzle Wear (determines accuracy) reading and my dad's the best Throat Erosion (determines about how many rounds have been fired) reading, the parkerizing (protective finish on the metal parts) is fair on the receivers, his is slightly more worn, the stocks are both in decent/keepable condition, just some nicks. I've wanted an M1 garand since I first saw Saving Private Ryan, and now I finally have one, the fact that my dad bought one as well is all the more sweeter, I'm very appreciative to own one of the finest pieces of US equipment ever built |
