Spent some QT with the M1 today

[87iroc]

No...not shooting. Too cold...wanted to take the 5 minute drive to Atterbury but decided to just hang at the house.

Had a new main spring for it and a gas plug for it from garandgear so I can shoot commercial ammo. Looking forward to being able to get it out to the range.

My M1 was built in June of '44 and spent most of its life in Northern Europe. Barrel has a 1949 date on it and is like new.

Yah, its a pointless thread...but it was nice to get a chance to work on the guns today. Also cleaned out my Mosin and tried out my new Hoppes Elite gun cleaner(old Hoppes caused my wife's sinuses to go nuts')

Nice looking m1, hoping to get to camp perry here soon and get myself one...if they have any left...

Any day (warm or cold) spent with the M1 is a good day...

My M1 Carbine is lonely, I need to get a big brother for it soon.

I just got one also, and am learning about it. I haven't had a chance to shoot mine either.
