U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 Roll Call

SEANinMICH · 01-30-2009, 06:52 PM

I've got a little over 70 garands including 12 HRA, 11 IHC, 2 PB, 2 BMR, and just about every flavor of SA.

there are 50 or so in the racks. It's hard to see much with the way the racks are built. Not even worth trying to take a pic of the ones in the safe - they are all socked and packed in.

These are mostly IHCs with some of the HRAs on the left side of the wall

Yeah and we are tickled to have one, huh Col???

But if you think about all the money our retirement funds have lost...had we put the money in Garands, we'd have been waaaaay ahead of the game!

guys, i figured out where all the garands went! must see pics! as many have said, we here a G&G love our pics!

but i think my most prized garand part is my 10" chromed bayonet! i get alot of looks at shows when i take it.

Iron_Colonel · 01-31-2009, 02:04 AM

An impressive arsenal you have there Sean. If they were mine, I would take and adjust all of the sling adjustments and make them all even before you take the next pic because they are all uneven. But maybe thats my OCD talking a little

Have you shot all these? Do you have names for them all? How long does it take to acquire that amount of Garands? Amazing!

LOL. It's not just you. I actually got a few emails from folks saying the exact same thing. I guess I'll have to get on that.

What really surprised me is that no one noticed (or at least mentioned) the sling that is on backward.

Iron_Colonel · 01-31-2009, 01:05 PM

Backwards or upside down? There are so many slings, how could one spot that!?

cr107 · 01-31-2009, 03:09 PM

is that a K98 in that top picture next to the Carbine in the middle? just wondering.

SEANinMICH · 01-31-2009, 04:16 PM

yep. there's one in there. also a few yugo's, M44s, M39s, M38's, 91/30s, a 1917, a steyr, and god only knows what else.

Casey · 02-01-2009, 12:04 AM

I've got an SA M1 Garand built into a National Match configuration. It has a Krieger heavy stainless match barrel, Malazo sights and trigger and has been glass bedded. It also has a sling from Loni Tamm of Hawaii, its slightly longer for prone and sitting firing. I used it for shooting High Power matches in southeast Wisconsin. It's a blast (pardon the expression, lol) to shoot, I was getting so good at shooting the long ranges that I could actually tell where my shot went on the target before I looked through the spotting scope. I shot along side Jack Krieger (the builder of the rifle), Boots Obermier, his son Eric Obermier, and a whole host of other fine and distinguished shooters. I also have a DCM Springfield Garand which I keep at my local American Legion post (which I am an SAL member) for use as a parade rifle. Here are a few pics of the National Match rifle.

Iron_Colonel · 02-01-2009, 12:47 AM

It sure is a beauty! Thanks for the post. Keep them coming!!

robertsherrer54 · 02-01-2009, 10:04 AM

I have three--
August 1944 Winchester with SA parts and barrel.
September 1944 SA all SA
New 2002 SA

Ken in Iowa · 02-01-2009, 11:58 AM

I dug these two out of the safe. Dad and I shot High Power rifle back in the 1970s and '80s. Neither has seen much use for 15 or 20 years.

The top one is Dad's 7.62 Match rifle.

The bottom one is my $125 (in the early 1970s) DCM Garand. 1965 SA barrel.

macbrun · 02-01-2009, 05:59 PM

May '44 Springfield Armory, all SA parts, 'cept for a Boyd's (CMP) stock.
Got 'er in Dec 08 but haven't given her a name yet...
And for good measure, my 1911

Iron_Colonel · 02-01-2009, 06:58 PM

She's sure a beauty!
