More Garands
Denise is showing hers off. Am I the only gun owner who doesn’t have one?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Nope. Not the only one. ‘Course, I don’t have an AR, either.
And my AK is still in pieces…
I *do* have two 1911s and two plastic guns, does that help?

All I’ve got in the rifle category is a Winchester model 94. I’ve got some serious stocking up to do.

No, you’re not the only one. I had to sell mine off a few years ago to keep our van running.
I miss it terribly. I sold it to my former boss, and when I get the money I’m going to buy it back.

I joined a rifle club here in Texas last month so I can get one from CMP pretty soon.

More than welcome to shoot mine the next time I am down.
And, I don’t have an AR either. Or an AK anymore. And I decided to hold off on the CETME until I find out about a new job

Well Uncle, I own one polymer rifle, an AR-15, and Bill owns an AK clone. I’ve just always enjoyed the feel of fine wood and the look of blued metal over more utilitarian wood and metal finishes. For some reason the M1 has always struck me as simply beautiful, even before I bought mine about four years ago. At the risk of sounding corny, shooting one is getting in touch with American history. If you’re ever in New Hampshire and have the itch to go shooting, let me know and I’ll even supply the ammo.

I was going to say “Yes!”, but these other people made a liar out of me.
Denise, no woofin’. First time I fired mine, it was just about love at first bang. Under the old grease and oil it turned out to be a very pretty walnut stock, and some very simple work cleaned up the trigger.
And there’s something priceless when someone next to you turns out to never have been around one: “Hey, something just came out of your rifle!”. Or the plain astonishment when the clip ejects and lands balanced on the brim of your hat.
