Uncle Sam's Present

[BrianRodela]

Last May, I had the pleasure of shooting in the Navy Fleet West and All Navy Rifle and Pistol Competition. For the first time shooting High Power, I didn't do too bad. I walked away with a SecNav Trophy Rifle, an M1 Garand. It's going to be a gift for my Father who shot Garands back in the 70's. I thought I'd post a few pics as I am very proud of it and was amazed at how preserved it was. Enjoy.

Nice. Congrats!

That's a beauty, congrats.

[Flintlock Tom]

Anyone can buy a Garand, you were awarded this one for demonstrating exceptional capability.
You have every right to be proud. I hope your father recognizes the magnitude of the gift.

Well done.

Fantastic!!

Wow, I am jealous. If your Father doesn't want it I call dibs.

The trophy rifles used to be 7.62mm, still the case? Very nice and good job!

[kurac]

wow! that is nice, I guess they didn't turn them all in to the CMP

The first place rifles (aggrigate score between rifle and bullseye service pistol) are Mk II in .308 and the seconds are 30-06. This is in 30-06. Hopefully this year, maybe a Mk II. Time to hit up the range
