| I'd love to have an M-14 in the straight, standard issue "no frills" form. And an M-1 Garand too. Trouble is, it's getting to the point where it costs an arm, leg and an eyeball for either of those rifles. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit.

| I love my M-14's all in the Standard, wood stock form. My buddy owns an M-1, it's a great rifle.

| Yeah, I was talking to my dad about rifles one day, and he said, "Oh yeah, I remember back in the 50s, you could get M1 rifles and M1 carbines from military surplus for about $25-$50 each. I thought about it, but decided not to." I could just kick him... LOL. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C.

| Jesus... Good luck getting any firearm for double that price these days! I paid $750 for one of my M-14s...

| I've never seen one in a store for under $1,000. I was looking at M1 carbines the other day... $600 for one that was beat to hell. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I think my most expensive M-14 was 1250, and the other one was right around 1000, like maybe 950 or so...

| BTW, how accurate are the Garand and the M-14? I'm talking with the standard-issue peep sights. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Oh, and another thing. One of the few things I thought was utterly unrealistic about "Saving Private Ryan" was how fast they shot the Garands in that movie... "Pop, pop, pop-pop-pop"... with almost no recoil. For heaven's sake, that thing is a 30.06... I don't think you could sit there rack off rounds like that.... anyway, is that true, or just conjecture on my part? If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit.

| On Mail Call they did a part on the Garand and even fired a clip from it and Erme fired the whole clip in about 5-8 seconds with nice acuracy and little recoil. Thats what made the gun so great. A nice sized clip of 7(i think it was) shots little recoil and was cheap to build What Profit Is It To A Man...If He Gains The World But Loses His Own Soul {Matthew 16:26} | |||||||||||||||||||||
