Who says Garands are obsolete?

[indiucky]

In much of the third world, people just use whatever guns they can get their hands on.

We see that alot at the Henryville/Clark County Forestry as well.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a rock launcher. Those guys are going to have rotator cuff issues later in life from all the manual rock tossing they do

Not obsolete but not as common anymore, everybody wants an AK now.

I'll take a m1 over an ak everytime.

"Keep them out of our hands"? Really? CMP is selling surplus Garands by the thousands every year. Go buy one, or a dozen.

Rockhopper was probaly talking about the Korean guns that we were denied.

His finger is off the trigger Plus, what about just about EVERYONE else in the region who holds a gun with safety off/finger on trigger/muzzle sweep everyone? He actually seems to know how to hold a gun. Muzzle up, finger off the trigger.

No, this guy is just as bad as everybody else in the region that thinks their finger is supposed to be on the trigger at all times. This picture just happened to not catch him doing it, but this one does..

This gun is too nice for them. Kudos to the nostalgia factor, but for all we know, they killed the prior owner/collector for the largesse of having a firearm collection and this M1 came from looting that collection.

Nobody worth listening to....

I thought I had heard that the M1 Garands were allowed in, but the M1 Carbines were still on hold?

Cause, they have more spending cash. You have things like a nice car, a house, use electric and get gas for the vehicle. Tv, all the things we take for granted

Someone should tell him to put the safety on.

Not familiar with the M1 Garand.....The rifle in a dry fire condition, hammer against the firing pin, cannot be put on safety. It has to have the bolt cycled an the hammer back into firing position to put on safety. Its impossiable to look at a picture an determine if rounds are in the chamber or even loaded by seeing the safety in the fire position.

Yes, this is just a agitprop photo. Waaaay too clean to be anything but.

Look at the guy behind him, shiny boots and a Calvin Klein t-shirt.

"Omar, you take this American rifle that I brought off a Greek fisherman. Now everyone put on your mask and wave guns about . . . on 3, and then we go for goat stew!"

 

[MrSmitty]

He can put some accurate long distance rounds down range while the AK'ers are tearing up the dirt far, far in front of him....Long distance the next best thing to being there....
