To true.
It's funny how people with so much in common will pick little details to fight about.

Those are not American tags. Possibly Tunisian.

A North Carolina military retiree recently got to wrap his hands around a rifle he hasn’t seen for a long time and is now destined to be passed on his to grandson.

Pat Farmer shipped off to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego at age 17 in 1960 where he was soon issued an M1 Garand which, as vouched for by the custody receipt he signed, was serial #4305638. He and the rifle parted ways the next year as he went on to aviation training and by that time M1s were being replaced in front-line use by the M14.

Nevertheless, he contacted the Civilian Marksmanship Program in 2013 as a lark after finding the old custody receipt to see if they had come across his gun in their surplus stacks transferred regularly from the Army.

The speed in which you did it is very impressive. I'm just bummed that they can haul howitzers with the fam SUV in Tunisia, but not the USA.

Great for snakes on the hiking trail or fishing boat and for would-be carjackers.
