Things a WWIIfantatic should look for: Only Springfield Armory and Winchester made M1 Garands during WWII. Winchester ceased production at the end of the war but Springfield Armory continued on until 1958 or so. Springfields below approx serial number 3,800,000 are WWII era. Almost all CMP rifles are mix masters. You might be able to get a WWII receiver but the barrel may be from the 50's or even have parts from International Harvester or Harrington and Richardson who also produced them during the Korean War era. Not really a big deal as almost ALL were rearsenaled at some point. A "newer" 50's barrel is acutally kind of a good thing as they will usually be in much better condition. One other thing to note is the trigger guards, WWII era guards are milled and have a large hole to the rear, later one's are stamped and do not have that. Just some things to think about and what you can expect (and ask for) from CMP. Most people are happy to have one, regardless of the parts and dates. I know I am.

Pictures too!

Only if you satisfy the requirements to purchase a rifle from the CMP can you do so. Even at the store. Eligibility Requirements There are no legal issues as long as you have everything on that link. Going to the store will allow you to select what rifle you want, otherwise they will mail one right to you.

I've heard of just about everything by now concerning what people put on and in their guns. Is it really that hard to go down to Walmart and get some Hoppe's and/or CLP?

Just found this hilarious website. It's up there in greatness with People of Walmart. AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com

Yep. Another way to think about it is...would you put a silver scope on a black, blue or whatever they are now rifle?

So when you release the mag and it drops to the ground in a combat situation it is not damaged. Still doesn't make sense to me. Then again I don't use high dollar magazines that feed bullets the same way that GI or the $15-20 ones do. And what Vero said.

In a way I really hope Ramsey does pull it off. Just not convinced that he will. I'm leaning that way for now.... Oh, and Haslam's not a phony rich guy, he's really, really rich. So rich he can't even tell cause I'm sure that he doesn't know.

C-SPAN Video Player - Tennessee Gubernatorial Debate Spotlights GOP Candidates I watched most of the thing in its entirety last night but need to watch it again. My initial impressions: Ramsey has a tongue to match his hair (silver). If I only cared about one issue he would be a no-brainer. As it stands now I don't think he has a chance. Little to no advertising in Knoxville that I've noticed. Haslam signs all over the place, radio wave full of Haslam ads. Have no experience of his coverage elsewhere. Haslam has Lewis Black fingers. I have no doubt he could do the job, just don't know that I want him too. Wamp is very confident. Maybe a little too confident. He could do the job as well, just not sure how tolerant I am of the Republican insistence of legislating morality (I'm not, actually). Same goes for Ramsey. McWherter sounds like a very moderate Democrat who is probably good at what he does. He needs to keep on doing that and stay out of Nashville.

I know what CLR is and thought OP might have been crazy at first , but in hindsight sounded like a decent idea. Don't know that I would never do it. Of course it will take blue off, blue is a kind of rust. Same goes for navel jelly or any "rust" remover. Gotta be carefull with that stuff.

An excellent, excellent choice.

As there is no written record of the Vikings' discovery of America, which they did , how do you know how they treated anybody? Have I missed something? That is an honest qustion, BTW.

Screw all that...shoot it. Seriously, take it out back or wherever you go and just shoot it.

They're sold out, thank you very much, which is what I've been waiting for.

I would love to shoot it sometime. Ever go up to Norris?

So what are the posting requirements in Georgia?

OS, your Mini is the only one I have ever shot. It has the classic military style two-stage trigger. After firing the first shot, you hold the trigger back and then gently let it go forward to the "2nd" stage, about half-way. Once you learn that technique it's all rock and roll after that.

Glad everything worked out without problems, other than the ticket part. I was pulled over just a little more than a year ago by KPD in Ft. Sanders. I did not tell my status, they did not ask. Was sent on my way with ticket in hand, no discussion of my "privilege".

Flaming bag of poo.

Went to Home Depot to help out the economy. Gave the wife a big wad of cash for her to go out and do the same, but what she's gonna buy sucks. Delivered my old gas grill to a friend since I've upgraded and needed to be rid of it.

So, you own Brokeback Mountain?

The Valarium is a warehouse-ish type place in the middle of nowhere, but in the middle of town, underneath the interstate. Have not been there in at least 10 years, but now that I know Social Distortian is playing there....I WILL BE THERE. Had an offer yesterday to buy tickets for SD at the Peel in Asheville. I'm glad you posted this!

Good to know Americans are not the only self-centered, un-helping, not-caring, *******s on the planet.
