    I've been thinking....

    I really love shooting my un-messed with Inland. Even as much as I shoot it, I doubt if I will wear it out, since it seems to be at the beginning of its service life, tight, great finish, and ME of <1. I doubt if it will change its value much, though I intend on passing it down to my 37 year old son when I kick the bucket. He would love to have the exact same model of rifle his grandfather carried on Iwo Jima.

    Also, even though mostly I carry the Kalifornia compliant AR15 as my patrol weapon, I like to "take the Inland for a ride" sometimes, and use it, especially on a day shift when I can do some casual plinking on duty.

    I am going to look to pick up a cheap M2 stock to refinish (I can get a "FAT" stock for $20 or so), and use my spare round bolt in it. I'll put the original flat bolt in the bag with the Type II mag catch and push safety, and keep it in a silicone gun sock with the original stock. That way I won't feel as bad "banging it around".
