Thanks for the compliment, I know it may be odd for someone of my age (27) but I really have an interest in the c&r weapons. Most of my friends are into the modern stuff, and I have plenty of those as well, but my real interest is in the old war beast. There is just something about holding a piece of history in my hand, its a feeling I don't get when I shoot my ar's etc.
On a side note, I got to try out my new K98 over the weekend, what a neat rifle. I was lucky enough to get one of the un-peened guns, i had a chance to pick up a single rune BNZ but for some reason the history behind that, although interesting, bothered me so I passed on it.
BTW, the garand on the far left of that photo is an IHC that i purchased from gunbroker, from a guy that bought it from the DCM. The stock had ton's of crud, here are some pictures of it cleaned up, as well as the HRA "Special"
