Weapons

That's great Marsha, we like M1 rifles. I will be ordering mine in a couple of weeks. How long did yours take to arrive from Warren?

about a month
to be honest it was a M1 i wanted in the first place but could only aford the thompson at the time
now i got it cant wait to use it at Die Glock

I think this is a nice time to run down what people have as weapons.

[edit] I do have an S&WM10, which I forgot was American.

I have nothing [else] American at the moment, and will be unlikely to get the Garand in time for the training day, though I should have it for St Lo.

Lipton (as he is nearly, but not quite, here yet) has an M1 Garand and a Thompson

M1 Garand

Hey I was thinking of getting one of those.

Do you want one? I have one that you can have... it'll be cheap...

Yes I do,

but I do not have moneys until the 27th April.

But then yes I do.

Okay... it's reserved for you.

It comes with a load of shells and stripper clips and doesn't shoot very well.

Oh and the ball on the cocking handle has fallen off... I have it, it just needs glueing on.

YES!! I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome back

Great. I can have one conversation with Lip here, and another one with him sat on the sofa 2 feet away. Like a school child texting their friend on the same canteen bench... Like they used to do when I was at school and mobiles were new and cool.

We both have Garand look-a-likes.

Does Warren's M1 now come with a wooden stock?

got mine yesterday and its got the plastic stock on

I've been working on scaleyback to get some wood stocks made up for them... but I think I've been hassling him with far too much other stuff as well... lol

I'm so old. Christ, when I was at school, the latest crazes were mis-matched fluorescent socks, Rebound (remember that?) and Astro Wars.

I sourced my wooden parts off ebay, since warren made the resin moulds from my Marushin M1, the real furniture go straight on

That applies to the front wood, but not the actual stock itself.

Yep, sorry I was only referring to the Resin parts
