4 April 2023 Garand Picture of the Day

[Bob Womack]

Couple of flags here: Look at the width of the pistol grip on the only visible one, second from right. Doesn't it seem a bit thin? And then the third from right has a busted upper hand guard. Is this the USMC silent drill team? They have paired-down stocks.

And then, does the second butt from left have an arsenal repair at the top of the butt plate like the Brits do on a SMLE?

Doesn't it seem a bit thin?

Yes, the users are allowed to rasp them down to their own fit. Easy to see when they are at order arms.

The most interesting to me is the op rod handle. Look where it should be and you see a curved rod projecting downward. No op handle...but then again why do they need it? There's enough to catch for inspection arms.

There is a vid of them doing drill and one man breaks his stock right off...gunny picks it up and hands it all back to him.
