Well here's the recent addition from the CMP and the newest addition from what we like to call the mini CMP.

 

I picked up a 6digit M1D from the CMP. It gauges .5 on the muzzle and 2.5 on the throat. Just picked up an original scope tonight so all I have left to do is lace up the cheekpad and I should be shooting her this sunday.

 

Next is a Springfield M1A which we believe to be made off of a M14 parts kit. It's got a bsquare mount with a humongeous BSA scope. Only thing I need to do to the rifle is add a flash hider since this one was neutered such a shame.

I also have to clean the M1D stock this weekend with some linseed oil and it should really start to shine

I would reccomend a pedicure!!

Once I get some money, I'm gonna have to head to the CMP someday.....

I already want to go back and pick up another D heh

Very nice Matt!! How much and where did you find the M84?

Looks great Matt, very jealous. Wish I could have made it.

Wow Matt, your checkbook IS gonna kill you! Those look real nice.

Very nice.

Great purchases! My checkbook is going to kill me also!

Nice!! You have a couple of sweet rifles there.

looks really nice.... really nice!

Wow, very nice Matt.

Thanks guys I am quite happy I can't wait to shoot them this weekend I am tweaking bad to go shooting now.

 

I got the scope at a local honey hole of Eric's for well below what I should of paid, I'll just leave it at that.

 

But all together between the D, the M1A and the scope I got about 3,260 invest in the two guns. I figure if all else fails, I can turn around and sell them for at the minimum 4,700 but I will never sell them so they are here to stay.

 

Now the hunt for an original scope mount and flash hider is on to make my D 100% correct.

So I'm really contemplating taking one of these rifles hunting in NY this coming year. Both guns I can limit to 5 hours and meet the rules and reg of NY state fish and wild life. I can get a 5 round mag for the M1A and a 5 round enbloc clip for the Garand. Out of the two, which one would you take. I'm leaning more towards taking the M1A mainly because it's a less expensive and less special gun than my M1D.

I think you are nuts if you take the D out. The good thing with the A is if you shoot Sierra 168 HPBT the Sierra 165 Game King bullet was designed to match the trajectory of the 168 so you will be almost spot on.

Yeah I think I'd be nuts to take the D out hunting for sure.

 

So maybe I'll take the M1A out one day just for some laughs.

Very nice, now quite standing on the bed.
