Garand Full Size Airsoft

I've seen these. We have a shop local selling them. A cartridge collector here has the rifle, carbine, a couple others. Looks good and feels correct but if you decide you don't want them, no one else does either.

Many years ago...1981 I think, we were training a recruit platoon. When we came to the stalking excersie the observers were issued Red Ryder BB guns. The stalking troops were wearing eye protection so they would get shot if spotted. Regular Red Ryder guns from the store...

Nice toy, I've no use for toys.

Let me rephrase that slightly, seeing as I once used both BB guns and paintball guns in training. I'm 72, long retired, and no longer run around the woods (or in buildings) hunting people in training, so I only shoot and collect live firearms and have no use for a toy regardless it's value to training.
