Totally agree. I have been looking for a slab side 60s or 70s Colt for a while but not finding anything.

Echoing the others, what a nice collection!

Good to see everyone get together for the holidays. My grandpa carried an M1 carbine in WW2. Which manufacturer made the one you have?

Good stuff. One of the manufacturers I do not have yet. Wish I could say I had collection like that but I have some stuff I never thought I’d have so I can’t complain too much. Great to see another proud of their old warhorses.

Would like to see others post their U.S. service rifle family pictures as well.

Nice collection. Now you need the 03, M16A1, M16A2 and M16A4 to round it all out for the 20th century. And the Carbine belongs in a picture with the XM177E2, and M4.
These are just the more common issued types.

Nice!

Tell me about the M14 looking one. Is that in a .mil issued condition or is it a Springfield M1A variant wearing a M14 stock (I see the full auto hole).

Thanks. Springfield M1A scout squad with USGI M14 stock and walnut top hand guard from Fulton Armory (personal preference, I think it dresses it up). I've been meaning to get one of the dummy buttons to fill the hole. The stock still has it's rack number.

Sorry about the crappy image, but it's what I had.

I've got my step grandfather's 1903 he carried, but all of my other service rifles belonged to other countries

nice. Looks like it is 1913 RIA. I think that was the last year before RIA stopped making them until 1917. Mine is a late 1912/ early 1913 RIA. Serial number 221xxx.

What's the little one?

Why’d ya stop at 1964?

'Cause that's when the Pill came out!

Very cool! And welcome to INGO!

I wish! I saw a couple at auction a few years back and drooled all over them, but alas, I learned that it will be unlikely I ever get a hold on one. I do have a M1917 Eddystone action with an arsenal installed barrel from Johnson Automatics Co., and that will probably be the closest I get to owning a Johnson.
