The one on the very bottom, the stock looks a little fatter than the USGI. Is this a McMillan stock?

Sure is, that is my USMC McMillan. Rifle is LRB M14sa with Saco NM barrel, all TRW parts. NM front and rear sights. I call that one the 1st Sgt because it demands respect from the rest of the formation.

No comparisons intended because it isn't possible, but it's fun to line them up on occasion. I've since added a Type 2 NM and Lend Lease with red stripe.

Sure is nice to have more than one out in the open air.

"3 on leave..."? Wow.
It's a lot of work taking all those rifles out for a photograph and then having to put them away. I'll probably never do that again. One day I thought it would be fun to shoot 3 or 4 of them. But then I had to clean 3 or 4 of them. Cleaning one is fun but any more than that and it's a chore.

I just gave them the once over before I put them back to bed. Patch with Gunzilla in the bore and a quick check over. They don't get out together very often but when they do it is all fun.

Now if you can build an arms room circa 1965 and get some cut down M-14/M-1 racks to put them all in. and a 1911 pistol holder circle.

Working on something similar. We are talking about perhaps a Vault room that is humidity controlled for the toys. I hate banging things around in safes.

Plenty of the others handing around too. That is except for the Johnsons. Never really pulled my chain. Now I almost wish I had 20 0r 30 years ago when they were cheap.
