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!

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.

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

| My National Match Garand
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.

| I don't know if these have been photographed before..
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.
