Remington OP rods

As the old farts that have been hoarding M1's die off, they will be sold or transferred to younger shooters, except for the odd case of someone wanting to be buried with his M1.

Hey! Taking along an M1 with a bandoleer of AP might be a good idea as you never know what might be on the other side!

Working on that idea. Wonder what would happen in the oven with api.

You have to remember though, among the younger shooters, the AR15 is king. M-1's and M-14's are obsolete crap, and read what the younger guys have to say on the blogs about 1911's, obsolete crap when compared to the Glock 17.

I've fired AR-15's and AK-47's... and even M-14's (when I was in the military), and to be honest, I'll take a Garand any day and twice on Sunday! IMHO, black weapons have no heart or soul. I personally find ARs to be uncomfortable to handle, and not much fun to shoot either! As for the Glocks, you couldn't give me one (ok, you could, but I'd trade it in for something better). They are absolute junk!!! Besides, I'd rather fire one .45 ACP round from a 1911, than have to fire ten 9mm's from a Glock!

The admin of a Facebook page on the M1 just hit 19,000 members. I'm sure some have none and some have multiple.
