Default RE: Let's Go Off Topic

I'm not inclined toannounce the contents of my toy box to the world, but I will mention one that is probably my favorite. I've got an M1 Garand that I really enjoy shooting. I got it a few years ago from the CMP. It's a Springfield, Feb 1942 manufacture date (rebarreled ~1952, I think). It was part of a batch that were loaned to the Danes decades ago and were returned and sold off. I love the peep sight on it and I can shoot as tight a group with it at 100yds as I can with my model 70 .270 with a scope (oops, I mentioned another one). After being packed in cosmoline for years the stock will weep a little bit here and there when I have it out on a hot day (you can never get all of that out). It oozes with history.
