Not to horn in on Mark's excellent service, I just saw the movie Gran Torino and thought this was a great one:



Now get off my lawn.

Never argue with the business end of an M1 looking at you!!! There are eight reasons of why you shouldn't make a fuss.

[Mark in Rochester]

Take a close look at that M1

prop gun

stacking swivel - full loop

gas cylinder lock screw look off also

Mark, in the movie and in this scene, the stacking swivel is split as usual. In another, earlier scene Clint's character racks the bolt, inserts a clip, and taps the bolt back forward. Don't know if it is fake or not but I assume an artist for the promotion department felt the split ring was somehow wrong and "healed" it!

In another scene he's got the Garand and a 1911 apart on a table cleaning them.

that scene is right near the end of the movie just before he went out to buck the gang. Call it suicide by punk but he got the gang off the street.
