Our Poor British Cousins!

You think we have problems. Look what you have to be satisfied with if you live on the other side of the pond. Notice, even this unserviceable piece of crap had it's barrel cut and welded. They brought it on themselves. Let's stop going down the same road the Europeans are traveling.

I like the part about "poor quality American Steel". WTF does he expect??!!?? It's been in the ground for 60+ years for Christ's sake. What a moron.

No joke Musketjon.... Plus that "poor quality American Steel" played a part in bailing their Alvin-Susan-Sam out TWICE!!!
Ignorant twit... sheesh...

Well it's not bloody Sheffield I say. If it is they would still be pristine. Whatever you say Jeeves. Point is they have to weld a rod into the barrel and cut out the breech to make it legal. I can see this kind of crap coming soon to a theatre near you. We'll all have safes full of welded up rifles. Jolly good show.

I understand that, and I agee completely, pointless to go that far and we need to stop it here before we end up the same way. On another note, I was simply agreeing with Musketjon pointing out that the guy claimed it to be "poor American steel", but obviously did not bother to take into consideration that it's been buried in the ground for 60+ years. And along with it I was stating that the steel must not have been to poor of quality do to the fact of how long its lasted in the climate as to where it was found.
More or less, I was being a smart A$$ in my statement.

How about the poor quality of his repair. A blind squirrel could do a better job. Rick B

He ought to be thinking if it weren't for American Steel we'd be eating kraut in box instead of fish and chips.

He should have left it in the condition in which it was found.

It's like the old joke, "Why are there so many trees in Paris?"
"So the Germans can march in the shade".

I'm with Tony on this one. Would have been better to just soak it oil and display it as it was found. Now it's just ugly.

I wish I had that Garand in my collection. I have a K98 with bayonet, a few .30-06 rounds and a bunch enblocs that came from the Ardennes.
