The Inland M1A1 (serial#: 5467xxx) I purchased from a long-standing member on this forum (who prefers to remain anonymous) arrived earlier this week, and I couldn't be more thrilled. The kids were being pretty unruly during the photo shoot, forcing me to cut it short, but I'll upload some more shots soon!   ------------- Eric NRA Life Member NRA-Certified RSO Project Appleseed “Rifleman” When asked by the wife, "Just how many guns do you need?" the answer is always, "Just one more, honey... just one more!" |

Yeah, well... you Marines couldn't make it on Santa's "Nice List" if your very lives depended on it! I've heard stories!

Very Nice Paratrooper! And your right "marines" couldn't make it on Santa's Nice List... Bt "Marines" definitely are on his Nice List because Santa doesn't want to piss off the Marine Corps and our annual Toys For Tots campaign that augments his Global Distro plan :-)
Semper Fidelis!

Wouldn't you know it... I never catch typos until the 30 minute editing window has passed. Well, as least it allowed you to say something witty at my expense!  In all seriousness though, I attend church with and am good friends with Sgt. Harold Wadley, USMC retired, and he's the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet; there's a tremendous gentleness there that totally belies his violent past. He also has one hell of a story, and I'd encourage anyone who's interested to go and watch the interview with him here: https://mrkspages.weebly.com/harold-wadley.html   ------------- Eric NRA Life Member NRA-Certified RSO Project Appleseed “Rifleman” When asked by the wife, "Just how many guns do you need?" the answer is always, "Just one more, honey... just one more!" |

Doesn't he though? He dons 'em every Memorial Day and recounts his exploits in front of the church congregation; I look forward to it every year. I sure will!
