As I clean my M1 Garand.... System of a Down's Mezmerize Album

Last week I went to my gunstore and was going to buy some .30-06 SP 150gr. when I came across something better. Remington is remarketing their UMC (UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE Co.)   brand of ammo (or at least it's not in a yellow box now) for budget shooters. I ended up picking up the .30-06 UMC...

Well, I finally got a chance to take the Garand for a test run today; I even found awesome ammo I don't have to import. Stay tuned....the range results are coming up ;)

Speaking of Rancid..... Currently playing Time Bomb

Even though this thread hasn't been "hot" for a while, I couldn't resist. Another name for the MILCOT...........drumroll please... MILVERADO!  :rofl:

Kickin' it with F-Minus (a band most punk fans might enjoy)

I've seen a pair of the issued underwear used to cover a civi hydration pack!   :rofl: The sad part is it worked pretty well (with some safety pins...) As far as field wear, nothing beats American Eagle boxers; they're light, breathable, and aren't ugly like the issued "passion-killers."

Option A: I use some spare C9 pockets from my patrol bag (for Socks, T-Shirt, Boxer) and Bren Gun pockets (for Combats T & B, fleece top, e.t.c.) Also carry spare socks in Resealable Ziploc freezer bags (and a Micatin Aerosol spray can, best cure for "shwetty n**s*** and "boot-band rot.")  ;)

Also, the "Blish" locking system used in the M1921 and M1928 series bolt assemblies was also discontinued with the M1 and M1A1; they used simple blowback to operate like the majority of other sub-machine guns during WW2.  ;)

The XM312 and XM25 can also be found at world.guns.ru  ;)

So Winchester .30-06 150gr is the best commmercial option......seems to be concurrent with the majority. Now does this mean ANY Winchester 150gr .30-06 (SP, Accutip, FMJ, JHP, Core-lokt, e.t.c.) or just FMJ 150gr? If it's the first one, I can get Winchester .30-06 ANYWHERE!  :) But if it's the...

Sure we can...but it'll allow said peasants to make more "Michigan Militia" type zaniness!  :o  ;)

My PL Warrant's first words while introducing himself outside to Demo Support on ARC 05... "Everybody grab a piece of Canada and sit down."  ;)

General Douglas MacArthur reported on the M1 to the Ordnance Department during heavy fighting on Bataan that:     "Under combat conditions it operated with no mechanical defects and when used in foxholes did not develop stoppages from dust or dirt. It has been in almost constant action for as...

Nice indeed....is that an apple holding up your Garand?  :P Looking for a sling for mine too (is your Canvas sling a Korean-Era model, or is it just a Blancoed WWII sling); thinking of getting a repro M1907 sling and treating it with mink oil (seems appropriate for mine, anyway.) Wes, my...

There's no school better than "old-school"  ;) ....although Kev might have something to say about that.  ;D

More gun pRon... ;)

"The M1 does my talking."  ;D Good ole Propaganda Remix. $700 - not exactly a "steal" but compared to buying a brand new model (1300-1400 US at SA) or an original USGI that still fires (last good I saw was 1000) it seem like a good alternative. Corrosive primers are a pain in the @$$ indeed...

Ok, here's some gun pRon finally.  ;D
