Ka Ching! My son breaks in his "new" CMP Garand.

Wow! Thanks! Many of the other photos are actually better in an artistic and aesthetic sense, and I'm well aware of that. Yet, it represents a special moment - the first clip out of my sons CMP Garand. Whatever love of shooting and history and even family history (my father was a WWII vet) has passed to a new generation and the moment is caught right there.

As the owner of 7 Garands myself I'd like to congratulate you on winning with your action photo. You must have great ear to hand coordination!
