So we think we're finally going to...
« on: September 25, 2008, 10:20:07 PM »
Me, my dad, and my bro have been thinking things through, and I think we plan on getting a new M1 Garand. One of those you can buy from Springfield Armoury brand new.

Hopefully, it'll be EXACTLY like our .22 pistol, mom doesn't know still :noid  :rock :rock :rock (Honestly, we dont know how she hasn't even noticed it yet :lol )

Maybe you should get her interested in shooting. Hell my wife hated guns when I met her. Now she owns 4 weapons. Largest calibre is the Thompson Center Hawken at .50. She really likes the bang from my Indian Enfield copy in the 7.62x51.

No, our mom is sadly, one of those people just unpleasent to be around. She can be really nice a lot, but when it comes to guy things, she's really mean. :( So, we found it in our best interests for her not to know :D

Bummer!
I guess she would just let someone break into the house and threaten the family. My wife would probably remove a body part with my .75 smoothbore then use it on them as a club if they were still kicking.

Yea, but she's one of those people, to where if  you start to argue with her, she just gets louder, and louder, and LOUDER! Till you're still talking, and she's screaming. (so, as you see, we usually just say 'yes ma'am'' and go about our buisness :lol )

Well with my tendencies, it's best to not let a lady know where the guns are.  That way I only hear, "If I had a gun I'd kill ya!"

You ever shot a M1?  It's a pretty awesome gun.

Roger that!!!!!  I started to date a woman about 6 months ago, and the first time she came over to my place, walked in and saw my gun cabinet hanging on the wall with my 30-06, and 12 gage over under sitting in the racks and my 9mm pistol sitting in the bottom she started to freak out. Then she saw the 12 gage pump leaning against the wall next to my bed, and my .45 1911 sitting on my dresser, she got real nervous, and when she peaked into my closet and saw the gun safe sitting there she asked if I had any guns in there and when I told her it was more or less full, she went off on how evil guns are and how she doesn't like being around them. 

Was too bad really, she was a nice girl up to that point. Not sure what she thought I would be like considering she knew I was a redneck from Oklahoma. Redneck and firearms pretty much go together. Last time I saw her she was seeing some yuppy finacial advisor. Wonder if he even has a job anymore?

I have fired an old Korean War rifle that was returned to the States. I have to say I loved shooting it. I've always liked them after watching all those old "Combat" TV shows with Vic Morrow way back when. Same thing when watching the old "Rat Patrol" series I wanted to get a WW2 Jeep with a .50 cal mounted on it. Neat shows.

Love my that m1.   shoot it all the time.

I have never met a woman who did not enjoy shooting once I took her out to try it.

Yup. The garand is a marvelous battle rifle.. I like my M-14 and love my FAL.. but the Garand is my baby. It's a .308 Navy, one of the last made, immaculate. NM stock bedding & sights, she's a sub-MOA rifle. Shoots better than I can most days.
