C'mon Guys! Enough already! I was just about over my "I want" gun fever and seeing these pictures has stirred it up again.

I used an M-1 Garand (Details will probably get me in trouble, along with about six other people) while on active duty. Kicked like a mule and shot straight as a jet on take off! I want one for myself!

My father had an M-1 Carbine and he and my uncles used to practice target shooting by rolling tires, with plywood centers, down the sand banks. He said he does not remember what ever happened to it, but it was his favorite gun and he would like another one.

I eventually want to get both the garand and the carbine and have a turkey shoot with my father. He is getting old and his eye sight is fading, I think I can out shoot him now!

Thanks for the pictures. Now if I could just save up about $1,800.00 I could get both of these treasures.
