I have always been a fan of the M1. and when Springfield started building them again It put a smile on my face very nice Edwin.
I am looking at a Springfield XDm pistol for some local IDPA and USPSA match shooting after we move.
Your wife is a smart woman. I can't see an end to California's craziness.
I think taxes will go much much higher.

I assume you meant to say M1A which is the semi-auto version of the M14 which is what I trained with in the army. A bit heavier than the M16 platform but it needs it for the .308-7.62 NATO round. I have it scoped at 100 yds and it's good out to 600 if I need to reach out and touch some...thing. The nice thing about it is I get detachable mags without the bullet button. It has a muzzle brake instead of the flash hider and no bayonet lug. I got the synthetic stock.

I have to have the stupid azz Bullet button where this Ar can have a detachable magazine. both are identical inside.
Once I move the bullet button is history. and my 10-30 magazines get converted to 30 rounds.
P.S. i built the AR the same way I do my truck one piece at a time

My Dad had recently passed away and my Mom freaked out when they announced the Canadian gun registry.
She called the local police who came by immediately and picked up all my Dad's rifles.
If u guys think Kalifornia has or is planning ridiculous and useless gun laws, you have no idea about Kanada...

The nice thing about KS is your Drivers License or ID card showing residence is your CC permit. Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas all reciprocate with KS. AFAIK Open carry is no problem.

There was a story and probably somebody's life lost in the history of the weapon.
I love old military history.
I have seen old people react towards weapons like they are venomous snakes.
Did they at least get a turkey for it?

That's a great point there, Jim. I know some of you, like myself, probably own tools and such from grandfathers. Everytime I put one of those tools in my hand, there's something about it, knowing that a piece of your own history used to use it. Probably as a means to put food on the table. That would have sucked if my mom would have given that stuff to Goodwill when he passed, but she asked me if I wanted it.
Back to the M1's, that's on my "bucket list". To one day own a garand. I've read of shooting groups that shoot those things out to a 1000 yards, open sights and all.

Exactly....I have a bunch of my Grandfathers old tools, and think of him every time I use them. My most prized set of tools is a vintage Craftsman 3/4" drive socket set, ratchet and extensions in a HD metal case, all big sockets from 1" to 2 3/4".......the set is probably from the 50-60's? I have stood on the ratchet and jumped up and down to try and break stuff loose....it just laughed at me and said..."is that the best you could do!"....
