    M1 Garand brought home from Iwo Jima, March 1945

    I see he was from somewhere else and died on the island. So I wouldn't think this would be his.

    Absolutely amazing. Unreal.

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    I have a sickness. And that requires me to be 100%. :) I'd love to see any pictures you might have. I have never seen a picture with these being used with a SIMRAD. I'd definitely like to see how the mount was modified to be able to handle the weight of that unit.

    I'd love to hear about your time served with the rifle. Do you happen to have any parts? LOL

    Yes, I would definitely like to find the bipod. I'd be happy to hear on what you might have found.

    Leupold Mark 4 10X M118 question

    "Newer" is definitely a relative term. I have a scope from 2002? that is marked on top like that.

    Leupold Mark 4 10X M118 question

    I was misremembering my scope. Mine is marked on the top, but it's not M118 marked.

    That's the way that it should be marked.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    I get that. I'm just saying that there are countersunk or recessed screws on the whole thing everywhere. And then there's those two screws that look like wood screw heads. Very out of place to me.

    What's the deal with the top set of screws in the second picture? They don't match the screws below.

    Norway missed out on the best sniper rifle in WW2

    You'll notice that it is VERY similar to a Norwegian design that used the Krag-Jorgensen action.

    Norway missed out on the best sniper rifle in WW2

    Here is some additional info and pics of a couple that are missing their scopes. You'll notice that the action is the reinforce action that does not have the thumbhole cutout for stripper clip loading. This is the same style of receiver that is used on the Swedish Fm 23/36 rifles.

    Marine Team Rifle returns to Camp Perry 96 yrs later

    I totally love stuff like this man! The one that that gets me is where do you figure out where to go? I understand there may be one or two places, but I would think that files that are approaching 100 yrs old tend to get thrown out about 50 years before. So the fact that you find these documents...
