: Paul jr gets his M1 Grand the 30th july, free
: from a gun club for being wounded in Iraq..
Paul, here's your chance...
That Garand is about as close to an M-14 as you can get; just loads from the top instead of popping a box mag in from the bottom. A (non-vet) pal of mine got one a couple of years ago and was going to show me how to shoot it. He called me a bad name when he saw my first group.
And I'm betting you shot Expert with the M-14 forty-some years ago, no? My money's on you showing JR a quarter-sized group on your first three shots with the Garand. Not to mention you'd get a standing-O from the gun club.
