Love those 1917 and 1914 "Enfields". Don't have any left myself, but very nice gents. Probably shoulda kept the USGI M1 Carbine; would have, had I had a wife or kids around.

Two M1 Garands; one 1944 Springfield, one 1955 Harrington & Richardson. Both from the CMP:



And one 1943 Smith-Corona 1903-A3, a very recent pickup from a surprise release from the CMP at the National Matches this year:

With the lone exception of the Springfield M1903 rifle, the M14 rifle
remains the longest serving rifle used by units of the U.S. Armed forces.

My M21A5 EBR

Attachment 96326Top to bottom: 1898 Springfield 30-40 Krag, An all Winchester M1917, Smith Corona 03A3, SA M1 Garand, and my favorite, a 100% correct type 2 Remington Rand.

I want to add a M1 Carbine and M1A to the collection some day

poor little krag... I have yet to ever see one in person that hasn't been sporterized... I'm starting to think they're all gone except for a couple pieces hoarded here and there.
