I was was gonna get my cousin an M-1, just 'cause he went to war with one and all he could find was this composite stock thing. I found one in GA but found out he was dying a couple days later.
I have no need or want for a rifle like that for myself.
BAR MK 3 maybe.
Do I really need that? No.
I used the Garand for competition.
I wouldn't mind a CheyTac M200..
...but I don't know of a range that could prove it's potential.
