What did Santa bring?

[purple]

Santa brought me more M1 Garand knowledge in the form of Bruce Canfield`s massive new 872 page book, `The M1 Garand Rifle`.

You are a lucky Fling Pig. My wife gave me a lump of coal.

Say purple, when you finish reading it, would you comment on how it compares to Scott Duff's 'M1 Garand in World War II.'

Thanks

I self-santa-ed this on Christmas day. Now I have to wait for it to arrive.

Original 1970's era Parker Hale Pattern 1853 musket in .577 - sweet.

Same here, I self Santa'd but everything is in the mail or waiting for paper work. A Glock 35, a Ruger 77Mk2 in .223 and a whole shwock of Garand parts and Enfield bits. Very nice musket Claven. Will she be a shooter?

 

[Claven2]

Very nice musket Claven. Will she be a shooter?

Of course. If I was looking for a conversation piece, I'd have bought one of the originals at P&S. Most of those are too fragile for actual use these days.

All kinds of cool stuff under the tree this year!

This is what Santa brought me...




A new camera would have been appreciated as well... but now all I need is a Two-band (??) Artillery Carbine (??) to round out my "Instant Snider Collection"

More on both later, but both are DC marked and the rifle came with a bayo, but no cleaning rod ... anyways... happy now!

( my collection only had back to M-H rifles...)

 

[Ax.338]

Well I thought I was doing pretty good, as I got a nice DC marked 3 band Snider/Enfield as well.

Mine has the cleaning rod and bayo.

But no Cadet carbine. What the heck?

 

[RememberTheSomme]

Soviet Garand,.... Ishevsk '41. De-cosmo'd, cleared for action,........... she'll makes her debut tomorrow morning on the Kharkov bench.

Sorry for the dark picture but it was too cold to worry about pictures

Girl friend got me a k31 and 480 rounds of gp11. Managed a 2 inch group @100 yards in prone, I was insanely impressed with this rifle

 

[mr.e moose]

The wife gave me a 1877 Colt Lightning.Just have to figure out where to get heeled 38 Long Colt bullets to reload.I gave her a M-38 Mosin Carbine.Two years in a row shes outdone me in the giving department.

Some very, very nice prezzies from Santa. Flying Pig, maybe we'll see your 3* at next summer's Ross shoot?

As did Claven, I self-Santa'd (love the term) a milsurp. Awaiting delivery, so only one photo for now. 1915-dated Webley Mk V.

 

[flying pig]

Really hoping so RangeRover. I have the CanTool target sight mounted now and just checked the case head clearance with the new bolt installed, looks good to me so I'll do the rubber band trick and use the mag cut off for the first firing. Can't wait, I think this will be a sweet shooter. I'm going to repair the butt and re-blue it, as it's a put together shooter anyway. Just have to find a similar piece of walnut and get after it.

Do you have a date planned for the shoot yet?

 

[hairygrump]

No new rifles to add to the mix this year, but the girls did get me a nice little Grohmann folder and a couple of waterstones to go with it. Also got a bit of cash to go towards a new tumbler and press, or maybe a charcoal grill, haven't decided yet.

 

[RangeRover]

Not yet. Hope to nail it down early in the new year.
