Okay, here's "Part II" in my unintentional "Fun Gun" series. I've been a big WWII-Saving Private Ryan-kick, every since rediscovering my M1 Carbine (since sold and replaced!).
If you missed it, here's the link to the first part: Fun Gun, M1 Carbine
Anyway, this M1 Garand (Harrington & Richardson) came to from the Civilian Marksmanship Program--from where you too can have an M1 Garand delivered right to your front doorstep, courtesy of the Uncle Sam. Of course, there are some requirements, but they are not difficult to fulfill--even for the casual shooter or gun-owner.
Without further ado:
She came to me still with residual cosmoline on the parts, but after a detail strip, cleaning, and relubing (along with a alot of work refinishing the "yucky" tar-smeared stock), she's resplendent again!
I'm going to have to re-watch my Band of Brothers (again!) on DVD this weekend...
Enjoy!
