      Shot a M1 Garand for the first time 11/11/23

      I first carried a Garand as a junior ROTC cadet when I was 16. Never fired it because it had no firing pin, but I did drill with it four days a week, then field stripped it and cleaned it on Friday.

      CMP Rack Grade M1

      That rifle has "been there and done that" character. I had a love/hate relationship with the M1 Garand when I was a junior ROTC cadet in high school. I drilled with it on Mondays, carried it in a parade on Wednesdays, and field stripped and cleaned it on Fridays. I now have one from the...

      Defcon 3 still?

      Don’t know where we are, but 2 is more serious than 3 on the 5 level system, with 1 being the most serious. Also, different parts of our military capabilities can be at different levels at the same time.

      Decision 2022 - General Election

      It’s Biden who’s hoping to benefit, not Moore. Wes Moore is confident enough in his victory that losing a few thousand votes by taking one for the team won’t hurt him.

      What was your first air gun as a kid?

      Mine was a mid-1950s Daisy model 25. It has been called a pump action, but the slide was only used once to depress the spring and cock it.

      We pick them and feed them to our granddaughter’s pet bearded dragon. Beats buying them at 3 for $10.00.

      1932 Colt Official Police 38spl

      It’s also much heavier than plastic and rough finished on the reverse. Good signs that it’s real.

      Will do. Probably won’t hear back for several months.

      The fit and the obvious layering have convinced me to send for a Colt letter.

      Thanks. I have had the grips off and the back sides are definitely rough.

      1932 Colt Official Police 38spl

      When I acquired this revolver I didn’t pay much attention to the grips, which I took to be faux mother of pearl. Now I’m thinking they may be real. How do I go about finding out?
