I bought the military stock for the M1A and put a fake full-auto switch on it. Plus it has the early vented fiberglass heat shield for it. The scope is a night vision scope. So its built as an M14.

Yes but the time to time seems to be getting longer. I make plans to shoot them then when its time to head to the range I end up grabbing my Henrys.

I do not collect military rifles but I have this M1 Carbine that was my dad's. This one was made by IBM Corp.

He also had a Japanese WWII bolt action rifle with an ivory inlay that my nephew has.

Neat collection of rifles! Thank you for sharing.

I never collected those types of rifles but I know some guys who are into them.

The Tanker Garand is my favorite gun and I don't ever remember missing a steel 18" x 18" target set at 200 yds offhand . I love my 30 Carbine too .. I got it in about 1970 out of a carbine collection . The flinter is a copy of a real old Mil-Surps gun :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very cool. I need some scope for my M1a... Mine is a bit nontraditional...
