Here are a couple of my 'other' firearms. I used both of these (not these particular guns) when I was in the army.
I didn't see any combat but spent a couple years helping to fight the cold war. Came of
draft age in the late 50's after the Korean war and before Vietnam.
I went through basic training in Fort Riley Kansas using an M1 Garand and then was
assigned to an Artillery Unit and went to Germany for about 18 months where I was issued
one of the smaller 30 M1 Carbine. Both are fun to shoot but the Carbine 'don't kick so much'.

Both fine weapons and the little ol carbine is one of my fav. ones I wish I had not sold my us postal model years ago may pic one up again. Thanks for shareing I love hearing about these guns and their stories.

I found another MI carbine that wanted to live at my place so I brought it home.
It is an M1A1 Paratrooper made by Inland. Nice looking and Nice shooting gun.....

Makes a neat home defense weapon. Lays nicely in a chest drawer beside my upstairs bedroom door....
No children in the house but I don't keep in loaded. Loaded magazines close, though.

Very nice!
