Here's a close-up, of the ones that REALLY make me forget about all of the others...

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
BANG!

Ah yes. The Garand. They had one of those a few months ago. It didn't last long.
Ever heard of Orion7?? Check out http://www.m1garand.com
Then there is the M14. I have to go wipe my chin.

I agree but This person is asking for a M-1 thumb. I was taught use the flat of my right hand to hold the handle then let go release it. this is going having it go forward when he presse tha clip.
I stopped in a gun store/shooting range the other day. Asked what a M-1 was worth. He told, then said, he had one I could hold if I wanted. Even if I was not going to buy it. Felt good, did remember a few Honor Guard movements. I think they were called Queen Anne manual of arms, spin and all that. Oldmanzues

"M1 Thumb..." :shocked:
It's all in the reflexes! :2thumbs:
Jim,
Even though the M14 was a superior Battle weapon in every functional way; the Garand just tickled my fancy... I took a 1953 version, and tightened it up to NM specs for hi-power competition...
Even with my lousy eyeballs and open sights: 1" groups at 100 yards... nojoke

If I had the bucks I'd snatch up a Garand in a nano second. Along with the Scout. I had a 6 mm Mauser in New Mexico that I used for deer and other medium game. For Antelope and pig I used my Winchester 30-30. A .300 Weatherby for bear and elk. That Weatherby had a kick. I usually loaded it with 180 gr. SP rounds but took a notion to load 200 gr.Partition rounds one time. :yikes:

I pretty much hunt with handguns only now...
A Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 Mag; 7.5" barrel, and Leupold 2x optics on top...
or My Hand Cannon: :bowdown:
A Thompson Center Contender in .375 JDJ 14" barrel, and more Leupold 2x glass up on top.
But If I've GOT to use a rifle...
A Remington 6 in "Ought-Six"
165 Hornady Boat-tail slugs; loaded to .308 Win velocities...
A pump gun that delivers inch and an eighth groups all day long...
The boat-tails make up the 100 fps less muzzle velocity; at 300 plus yards, it starts acting more like a .300 H&H! :2thumbs:
