:-D Hey, I have one of those. Mine is a 1943 Dane lend/lease gun. Need any enblocks for it? I was given a couple boxes of them by a ww2 war vet. He had some stories to go along with them too lol.

Thanks, but the M14 doesn't use enblocks like the M1, rather a 20rnd magazine. Nice armory!

Crap, I just seen the gear, and didn't realize it was a m1a. I have a scout m1a, but it has a synthetic stock. I cannot believe I missed that.............

Yup, I'm a Gun Guy.

I've had my 03 FFL (Collector) for over 20 years. I have a Gun Room with a gunsafe entrance door. My collection has done far better than any of my funds, investments or other stock market adventures.

Had an 01 FFL (Dealer) until Clinton decided it was evil if you worked out of your kitchen.

In the past I've held Master or Expert ratings in various shooting sports such as Service Rifle/USPSA/IDPA. Never ran with the Super Squads, but have shot at several national matches. Been on the firing line at Camp Perry, will go to my grave pissed that I just missed making the "President's One Hundred." Won a couple of state titles in military rifle, but that was a decade or more ago and before I got my over 40 eyesight. As a young 1LT I won my post's handgun championship (back when we did such things) and got a nice invite to tryout for the Army Marksmanship Unit. Would have lost my jump & flight pay so I declined (had a note on a 79 Vette to pay). Not as quick as I once was so I don't worry too much about winning matches anymore, just shoot for the enjoyment of it. Currently doing some 3-Gun and shoot "Heavy Metal" (FAL, 1911, 870).

Uncle Sam sent me to several High-Speed Low Drag Shooting Schools long before we called folks "Operators."

I've spent range time with Jeff Cooper, but was too young at the time to understand how special that was. Wish I had a picture.

Wouldn't mind getting into SASS to shoot my Colt single actions..., but I ain't going to dress-up in some make-believe cowboy outfit.

I consider a golf course a fine waste of a rifle range.

Oddly enough I don't reload.

I do a little gunsmithing on the side, and to make this ZR-1 related - You should feel how slick my Hurst shifter is! :wink:

[DaveK]

I used to shoot IPSC before I moved to Canada (and they banned ALL guns in England). Shot several times at Bisley and competed internationally. I was actually awarded a "Best Combat Revolver" prize at the European championships at one time. My dad polluted my brain by taking me to see the Dirty Harry movies and I fell in love with the model 29 .44 magnum and shot that.

I could get back in to it now I am in Canada, but I guess I'm pre-occupied with "The Dragon" :D

[John Boothby]

Yes. I used to hunt; shoot PPC matches and SASS events (End of Trail, etc); and shot a bunch a different weapons in the Nam. Was on a Ma Duece crew. US Army 8th RRFS Phu Bai 1968.

[DMark]

.... Was on a Ma Duece crew....
Hooah! :thumbsup:

yeah well, they know what I have anyway, pesky c&r stuff . The least of their concerns is coming to take my stuff. Suprisingly enough, at least as long as I have owned them, my guns have killed less people than Ted kennedy's car U da man fur sure!:worship: I would show mine but when they start coming around collecting them I don't want evidence.....

Very nice collection of black guns and pistols. I personally have a collection of over/under trap shotguns, hunting shotguns and rifles and a rifle from almost every M1 Carbine and M1 Garand manufacturer. I like firearms that are out of production and not made anymore. Kind of like the C4 ZR-1.
