You all remember the old M1 Garand joke where a customer returned an M1 because it had a hole in the barrel 2 inches from the muzzle? Well, it happened to me!

I sold a Super Collossal Stupendous Premium Grade M1 ( with all new or like new parts) with a Kreiger barrel to a customer outside Chicago.

He took it to a local range, & the rangemaster (a gunsmith) wanted to check out the rifle before he could shoot it. He examined it with a bore LIGHT, and told him that he could not shoot it at his range because the barrel was defective, in that it had a hole 2 inches from the muzzle in the 6 o'clock position!$vomit$

Can you believe that? A full-fleged gunsmith not knowing about the Garand Gas port?

I sent my customer a full explanation of the location of the gas port , which he will take to the range with him next time.

Another customer returned an M1 because the took it apart and said "The operating rod is bent." When I explained to him why it was bent, he then asked,"Do you have a straight one?"
Famous Quote: "When you are arguing with a fool, be sure he is not similiarly engaged."

Maybe he was only ever worked on Gas Trap Models.

There are a lot of questionable 'gunsmiths' out there...

Had a guy send back a NOS gas cylinder once becuase he said it was worn. He was gauging the wrong end!!! Could not convince him either and he wanted to return it for a exchange.
I sent him his money back as you cant fix stupid
