  1. Damn, what a waste. Such a beautiful and majestic thing, lines that any man wouldn't mind caressing let alone getting behind. Just don't make'em like they used to... As for that girl, hard lesson learned.

  3. I have 2 Garands. I don't shoot them that often. Both are Springfield's. It's sad to see that happen to a good rifle.
