M1 Rifle by Remington

[lyman]

Perhaps he thought that since Remington made M1903s they also made M-1 Garands.

Someone could have pranked him?

I took a NIB Jennings and had my wife write (she has better penmanship than I) Gold Cup on it with a gold marker, and pranked a friend with it,

did the same with a NIB FIE revolver and had her write Piethon on it,

Those are really rare.

What is up with people calling firearms by silly names like "Winnie, Remmie, Eddy, Springer etc." ?

it's been a thing for a long while,

and it also drives me nuts,


however, there is also a subset of gun owners and shooters that have no idea what they own,


I've asked people before what they shoot and the common answer is 9mm,,,,

ok, what 9mm,, as in what brand gun,??

9MM, as in 9MM Short, 9MM Largo, 9MM Bergmann-Bayard....?

I asked that question once to a guy I was interviewing for a job,


he had no idea what I was talking about

Some barrels made by other took 03 barrel and machined the chamber area OD, to take an adaptor for fitting the M1 Receiver.
{Some time threaded, sometimes silver-soldered}

That would be as close to a Remington Garand as you will get. But whether marked on the barrel or the operating rod, there is no "Remington Garand". Lot's of alien spacecraft spotted, but for some reason they never land at LAX.

[jjrothWA]

Why do you think they would land @ LAX?

They are supposed to be "intelligent life".

That's a GOOD one!

There are no aliens, if there were, we would have sent them foreign aid by now.

When there were no surplus barrels for the M1 Rifles, the people putting the demilled M1 Rifles back together drilled out the M1 barrel, and turned down the 03-A3 barrel to fit in the receiver stub. Dead giveaway is always the remnants of the front sight cut in the 03-A3 barrel.
