    Cool ooh what did I get in the mail???

    I got a strange package this week from the Navy. My wife called me at the Interservice matches at Quantico and said she had to sign for a box for me. I did not have any shooting to do today so I had to come home and check out the "box"

    huh it has a NSN on it.
    Let's look inside!

    wow it was wrapped up in 1967 what could it be?

    AHHHH my Secretary of the Navy Trophy Rifle M1 Garand !!










    I got it for a 2nd place EIC match finish at the Fleet matches last spring. I wonder if the Garand matches are full at Camp Perry?

    If I'm correct it was made Jun of '43. It had a complete overhaul by the Marines in '66 thus the 0-66 mark by the SN. Other than that it is in brand new cond. Sorry I got to shoot it, I can't have cars I don't drive or guns I don't shoot, but I won't dog it out. I hope to win a second one and that will be left alone.
