I sold my Winchester M1Garand Sunday "walking It" at a gun show and I thought the same thing! Of course many wanted to see it and I walked for hours until the last minutes when people were packing up. I was about just about out the door with my shoulder aching when a table called me over and he bought it for what I was asking. "Sheeeesh"
It really did impress me how those guys could carry that thing across Europe/Korea! I wasn't wearing any other gear... Being smaller in WWII and doing a job like that really did remind me how tough and strong the 'Greatest Generation' really was.![]()
