Very jealous. One of my dream guns.

[Earl Keese]

Nice!!!

[timetofly]

Very cool!

I like the way the grain of the wood flows straight back through the stock.  That stock looks strong as an ox!

[Rickytick]

Great

So, what is it?  SA?  H&R?  Winchester?  IH? 

Now you need the clips, the GI sling and some ammo and then cleaning/lubing supplies/tools.

Have you got a copy of the GI FM for pictures/instructions on disassembly, cleaning, sight adjustment, etc?

Great rifles.  Once you start shooting it, you'll find out you'll want another one.  Or two.

Ammo, sling, and enbloc clips on order.  Need to investigate cleaning requirements

Really nice, every time I pick one of those up I wonder about their history.

[S281]

Gorgeous! I've always wanted one too

[bayouredd]

  Yes You Are!!!

I went to the CMP a couple years back to get one & stumbled on an M1 Carbine instead; so I still don't have one of those. Congrates, I need a new visit...

[Swamp ash]

I agree, the stock is really nice!

[Luvdog]

I keep thinking about getting one too

[cremaley]

Very nice. I am really jealous.
