15-025 Garand Picture of the Day

Maybe those are Japanese Type 5's LOL

Would that ever be funny...they kept them hid until after. Then every man had 'em...I'd like to try one of those.

Thanks for posting all of the pictures and I have learned a lot from not only the pictures, but the information some of the posters shared about the pictures.

My father talked about having to sign his M1 over to Japanese Gov in mid 50s
He was at USNAS Atsugi USMC Crash Crew

Thank you so much for all the pictures! I learned something new from every one!

Thank you Snafu. I'm a 99% lurker here but your efforts made visiting here gratifying. You made remembering history a heartfelt experience. These photos make my M1 Garand and Carbine shooting more fun as well, which is hard to do, because they are just gratifying to shoot. But you did it with these pictures. Again Thank You.

Your time,effort and your pics were greatly appreciated. Thank You. Now go hit the range!!!!
