[Gunners762]

Nice collection you have there....Garand. You've made some great choices in arms.. Love the "Win 97's" and "Victory Model".. Kewl Stuff!

[Magnum88C]

Dude, your Garand has what I can only describe as F-ing awesome wood.

OK, before anyone else says it, I said Garand has nice wood. . .:dgrin:

[RIKA]

Awesome collection. Those 97's are to envy ... as is all the collection. Glad for ya, Garand.

RIKA :)

[Garand]

Mag, I got the M1 wood, new from Gun Parts Corp about 10 years ago. What you see is a lot of time spent rubbing with Tung oil. Whats was that Gunkid used to say about us not being able to own firearms???

[Magnum88C]

I prefer to have my wood rubbed with tongue oil. . .:dgrin:

But seriously, that's a nice looking stock. Was it a handpick or something, or did you just get really lucky with what they sent you?

[Garand]

I just got very, very lucky.

[Coyote]

M97s, No4mk1(T), that snubby (:headbang:)... damn.

Fantastic.

Slick pistol Garand.

Let me guess, they 'lost' your CAFC 681? :rolleyes:

[Garand]

Nope, when I phoned in to the CFC, to arrange the transfer paperwork, I was asked why I wanted the handgun. I responded "Competitive shooting". It appears that "Competitive shooting, isn't a valid reason to own a handgun in Canada. I had to phone them back 6 weeks later and tell them that I wanted it for "target shooting"! Now thats a valid reason for buying a handgun. What a bunch of idiots!!!!

[Garand]

Hammer the P-38 cost me $450.00 including shipping.

[Garand]

Latest addition: my youngest daugther (age 23) is getting interested in shooting regularly and is considering competing with me next year in Cowboy action. Due to the length of her (artificial) finger nails she can't use a Winchester M97 effectively, so I bought her a Spanish 12 gauge side by side. I plan to cut it back to 20 inches and install a removeable choke.

[B.FRANKlin]

Those fine looking rifles sure make that black gun look UGG-LY by comparison. That Garand does have some beautiful wood on it.
That center Ruger looks just like mine, except for the grips.

[Garand]

Latest purchase for World War II re-enacting matches a January 1919, US Rifle Model 1917 in .30-06. The bore is a bit dark but the rifling is sharp.

[RIKA]

Thats a beautiful 1917. They are kinda rare down here.

RIKA,

[Gunners762]

Looks pretty nice.. Eddystone? Remington? Winchester ?

[Garand]

Eddystone, this week I bought a Remington P14 in .303. It appears to be in a bit of rough shape but I haven't dropped the hammer on it yet. I'm hoping that the accuracy is there.

[RIKA]

Garand, you are making all the good scores here lately. glad for ya!

RIKA

[Garand]

Received last night, now I just need to find some time to get to the range.
1916 mfg, Colt Commercial Model

[Blackhills45]

Hey, Garand . You are a Man after my own heart. If I had the funds to buy a digital camera I would share mine. Sorry for you and all the rest but all my money goes for more firearms and ammo.
By the way, I picked up my sporterised Eddystone for less than a 100. The main reason I bought it was because it had been rebarreled for 300 win mag. It had been in a garage for many years and was ugly but with a bright bore. After beadblasting and parkerizing, and a Boyds pepper laminate JRS stock I have one fine Elk killing machine. I hope someday I can show them all off.

[Garand]

Well, I've gone an done it!! I've found another excuse to buy firearms. I'm now into "nostalgia" guns. They are models of guns that I've owned before. The first handgun that I ever purchased 34 years ago was a Llama .22LR "Especial". Got another one yesterday!

[Jorge_Banner]

Very, very nice collection, Garand, congratulations.
