I've never witnessed such astonishing acting talent or a more realistic fight scene.
$950 each in todays market was a score. And yes we need details !!
Calling someone an old geezer isn't necessarily a derogatory comment. Different people mean different things by certain words. Some folks refer to redneck as derogatory. I wear it as a badge of honor. Some folks call themselves an old geezer. Don't be so quick to be offended.

I want to personally apologize for misunderstanding your sarcasm. That was cool and very clever.

I was not being "smug". Old Geezer is a compliment. I am one, and lots of us here are Old Geezers and have no problem with it. Including the guy who sold me both of these Garands. We joked about it.

OK, this makes two requests so far. I will take an extra does of back pain killers, and flop around on the floor and get all the numbers for you guys.
Inquiring minds really DO want to know.

I heard a cute explanation for the term "Old Geezer" on the RED Green Show....and two of the things they described to me actually happened. Therefore i wear the title proudly.
They said...
1. If attractive young ladies do not hush their talking when you pass by...
2. If they take turns dragging you out to the dance floor over and over again, then all giggle when they get back with their friends
3. If they have no problem laying their head on your shoulder or lap on a long train or buss ride
...then you are officially an Old Geezer.
...and wouldn't you know it....but this actually happened to me in real live...TWICE..
one young lady laid her head on my shoulder and slept peacefully on a late night bus ride from Salt Lake to Ogden.
...and another time in Kill Devil Hills a young lady laid her head on my lap as I was sitting the the couch and chair section of a noisy bar on New Years Ever a few years ago. She was tired and knew I would keep her from being fondled.
When attractive young women feel completely safe around you...you are officially there.
So, YES... I am officially an Old Geezer and so was the Old Geezer I bought the M1s from. We even joked about it.

Yes sir, I used to spend a fair amount of time on the M14 Forum before it was sold and the format changed. I don't visit there much at all anymore. I spend a bit of time here and a lot of time over on the AK Files.
Welcome aboard the Forum, always glad to see another Texan arrive

Same here, my friend.
I got banned from the M14 forum for asking a logical question.
Remember Hunting Hawk ? The forum's official survival guru. He would also come in and make his pronouncements from on high, like they were stone tables from Mt Sinai.
Well...one day he dropped dead. I just asked, " with all his infinite and unquestioned "survival" knowledge, why didn't he take care of his own personal health, and make it a number 1 priority ?
I asked in prayer for wisdom (common sense) when I was 8 years old, and feel that prayer was answered.
So, if someone is going to lecture everyone about survival, yet they don't take care of their own personal health, just how serious are they ?
The ban hammer came down hard.
I though the question was legit.
**************************************
I consider myself a survivalist from back in the mid-70's, and when on Wednesday of this week, I was told my sugar levels are really bad, I dumped all the sweet tea down the sink as soon as I got home. Also swore off sugar. Make the sweet tea taste nasty, but it is something I will just have to get used to.
You can't be a survivalist and be relying on insulin to stay alive.

Good to see you again.

WOW !!! 37 LIKES...that is a first for me. Thank you all.
My apologies for not posting the details of the Garands. I am having issues with my pain meds, and hope to be off of them in about 3 months. This means I need to take it easy for a little bit. Been on them things for over 25 years. Gonna take a little bit to shrug them off.
I will make a separate thread about both Garands when I get a chance. Don't know when, though.

I guess because the 19 had the 'wrong' grips on it??
Sorry, I just HAD to go there, in the modern day lingo.
