    Tim's Chop Shop

    Not my words - I read it on the CMP forum in the Garand section, Field Grade thread, post #40. Apparently, anyone who dares turn a screw on a military rifle is operating a chop shop and is a desecrator of storied military history. What a crock.


    "to each there own.......its your guns and as such you can do what you wish.......but i would never lower myself to desecrating an M1 and its storied history by sending it through shuff's or anybody else chop shop........the Vets that once fought (some died) with these guns would roll over in their graves.........just my opinion....."

    Tim must stay awake most nights,haunted by the ghosts of these deceased vets,or perhaps he is called to do this by the same ghosts of these deceased vets,who wanted a smaller rifle?Maybe Timmy is our own version of Sarah Winchester?

    Hmm, sweet! Seeing as well over 60% of my customers are vets, I'll let them be the judge of what gets their goats.

    How about 10 years ago when the faithful found out that the cmp was building guns from parts? They refused to believe it even after watching the documentary. A lot of group think over there.

    Mmmmm, I like pork chops...
    Sorry, I got distracted.

    I'm a vet and love my mini-G. Don't see how it desecrates a Garand but that's just me.

    I wonder what they think of the italians who "desecrated" M1s by the 10s of thousands. Or how many voted for Carter, Bubba Bill, and Obama who actively ran M1s and other "sacred relics" through the big gun shredder.

    Yeah, read that post . I laughed. I can see not molesting any rifle if it's absolutely, positively, 100% untouched, unmolested, as issued condition.

    Other than that, just like all surplus rifles that have become available since ww2 which number in the millions, all bets are off and build them, customize them, modify them, so they work best for the way you want to use them.

    Post 40 is by the same guy who started a thread about German superiority in WW2.

    Quite honestly the guy sounds like a real jagg-off.

    Well, I'm a Vet also, and I'll tell you what gets my goat. Some whiny bitch pretending to speak for me. And who in my experience are not usually Vets themselves.
    Let's see, I took a post-war pile of crap with a crown beat half closed, cracked stock, butt plate that looked like it was a drill rifle, that I was afraid to even test-fire. It was probably loaned to the republik of Uzpuckistan for training some 50 years ago or so.
    I Shipped it out (saved it from the scrap heap) and Tim sent me back a beautiful heirloom quality firearm which I will be proud to leave to my Grandson in a few years. for less than the price of a new inferior weapon.
    What did he say... "lower myself" ....????...... Kiss my ass.
    Or maybe I should have just hung it on the wall in a glass case and knelt at "the altar of the beat-to-crap-garand" every morning.
    Or maybe I did ok making something generations get to enjoy and use for the next hundred years.
