    I don't see the problem. Add a few feet on the back of the garage or some such and pour some concrete. You could use cinder blocks filled too. Then you have a one car garage for a gun lockup.

    Not just them. Years back saw that every so often depending on the hierarchy. Just using a fertile imagination. I never heard of any issues from our guys in Afghanistan stalling at the sight of...

    My first was a Russian with blade and laminate stock, bought in about 1986 or '87. Ammo was scarce and when I got some it was all boxer so I started loading it. They were a scarce rifle then,...

    Correct. I had the rifle for some time. Never wanted the LMG and just needed the rifle for collection. When I had both M1 and Johnston, it was easy to see why the Johnston was of less regard. I...
