And it's even worse when you have no clue where the leftover came from or where it goes. That's another thing I appreciate about the old designs...every pin and screw is unique...no guesses required about where it goes.

In the 1950's my Dad, a WWII veteran of the US 29th Infantry Division, bought my older brother and me surplus US Army web gear, helmet liners, toy 1911A1s, and Matty Mattel Thompsons. From that day forward, I aspired to be a soldier. Later in high school, I joined the cadet corps and was issued an M1
Garand.
Fast forward 50 years through an Army career and several other careers to retirement, I purchased that specific Garand from the CMP
. It does help to remember your serial number.

A sure sign to take your vehicle somewhere else.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
