Big trees and big deer

Wish I could use my Garand for hunting! Nice buck, big honkin' trees!

Big trees and big deer

My garand was made in 1951. I refinished it with polyurethane for low maintenance durability. I always thought about putting a scope on it but since I was not sure I did not want to drill into to put the mount on. That ding at the end of a clip adds to the whole experience.

Hey, Gary, I was always wondering, that V8 saw, is the motor a Buick 215, Im thinking it would have to be in the 215 V8 family otherwise I don't think you could lift it.

Yep... all aluminum 215 Buick. '63 vintage.

Some years back there were 2 crazy loggers from Northern Cali. that used a small block Chevy with aluminum heads. They were some big ol' strong fellers...

We use the Garands for our Honor Guard at my VFW post, one of the Korea vets told us how they used to keep an empty clip in their pocket, since the enemy knew that when they heard that "ding", you were out of ammo. So our guys would toss an empty clip on the rocks, and pop the enemy when they stood up to charge. They are an amazing rifle, nothing like .30-06 for the one-shot knockdown.

I use that same trick when I'm hunting. I throw an empty clip and when the deer hear it, they come charging me and I let them have it!

Mine is a 1945 I got it through civilian marksmenship program about 6-7 years ago. I sent a note in with my check asking if they could look for one with a better barrel. The barrel looks like new in this one. I can shoot 1.5" groups from a bench with handloads.
I would never consider putting a scope on a garand unless it was a C or D sniper model. The military apitures are great except for low light,(dawn, dusk) I bought a second front sight at a gunshow. I'm planning on milling a grove in it and gluing a part of a fiber optic sight on it.

Anyone know where i can get the saw scabbard that Mrs. 2dogs is carrying? That is really cool. I know i need one, just don't know what for. Thanks.

That scabbard I bought on ebay 2 years ago. It is nice because it will take a boys axe. All my other scabbards are by The Pack Shack and while they don't carry and axe they will carry 2 spare chains. These scabbards are designed for wildland firefighting. The Supply Cache sells several brands of scabbards, I have listed the link below.
