Garand Picture of The Day - In Color

[mojalajab]

Good Day,

Mark is out of town on business and asked if I would post a photo in his absence. I apologize if this was previously posted on the CSP forum. Being new to this forum, I have no way to know for sure. For those of you who have not seen it, I hope you enjoy it.

Caption: A Japanese-American rifleman hides in corn stalks in a field, wary of German snipers. He is with the famous 100th Infantry Bn. In Italy.

if he pulls the trigger in that position! He needed to look like he was serious for the photographer but knew that he really wasn't going to shoot soon, hence the dangerous grip.

I don't know much about the M1 except what I have read and that eventually I would like to acquire one and I have gotten to fire one, but it looks like he is going to be hurting if he fires his.

Best Regards
Lisa

I see that the GI has the grenade recoil boot on the stock.

Thanks Smle-man, I was wondering what the was for. Out of curiosity, do you know who made them and are they hard to find? Thanks.

Strange looking corn stalks? Looks like grape leaves to me. I would think there were more vineyards in Italy than cornfields, but what do I know.

Or could it be "Maui Wowie"?
