Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Wouldn't it be nice if more of today's youth had the opportunity to participate in marksmanship programs sponsored by Uncle Sam?

I do CNC machining and I just marveled at the old skool tooling and methods of an era where expertise craftsmanship were paramount. SO glad I was able to save some extra cash and grab a CMP special -06 M1. Absolutely gorgeous rifle, flawless functioning. You get a LOT of rifle for $1030
