Cougar I know what your saying, When my grandfather died he left me a 16 gauge , greener double I have been thinking about shortening the barrels with the torch's in my garage.

Shoulda just used a cement to ground it down, the slag from the torch'll make them bb things in the big bullets aim bad.

A hacksaw blade wrapped with a duct tape handle, less than a buck, if ya grab the blade in a vise a just run the barrel back and forth till your almost through then just bend it back and forth till it breaks.

why would i have modified a 1000 rifle for a joke,i thaught it was just a worthless old hunting rifle. hell check the videos theres 2 there showing me cutting the stock on a saw. o well you live and learn i guess, atleast it looks alot cooler now, i cant wait until i can get my assessories, im going to paint it cammo to i think.

how do i tell if the gun has origional parts. wra and some numbers is marked on the barrel, some numbers and wra on that long rod that you pull on. its also marked on the side of the trigger frame and wra is marked on the saftey but it looks like theres more of a number under that that i cant see with the parts still togeather. theres no other numbers on any of the trigger group parts that i can see.

btw, how do i load this thing? i was looking at it earlier and the dang thing bit me.

If you truly are a troll, congratulations. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED :mad:

If not, you should have your grandfather's rifle rectally inserted.
 
Holy crap! You had better pray to your grandpa and Jesus for forgiveness. May the ATF knock upon your door and give you some new jewelry. Oh yeah, someone save the video of him committing what is probably a violation of the National Firearms Act, the ATF will thank you for assisting them in their prosecution. :rolleyes:

They are just plain ol' fun to shoot,heavy ,accurate as any modern rifle and once you know how to load one it looks really cool :cool: Not to mention it's a piece of history.The men that called the Garand their weapon of war were truly heros in my eye's,what do they weigh like 20 pounds

Nominal weight is 9.5 pounds, but after carrying it for a few miles it feels more like 100.:D
 
Ummm can you say FELONY. As overzealus as the pricks at ATF are these days I'm sure they would have a field day with this kid. I loathe to think anyone deserving of thier attentions but i think this kid is a perfect candidate. OH and by the way kid your an idiot, your Daddy should beat you with whats left of that once beutiful firearm.
 
I forgot to add, would a mod record his IP address for future reference before banning him please.

You have to be VERY careful when you hear people speak of an "original" Winchester Garand (M1).

Here's the deal: Although they exist, they are VERY rare. Here's why. At the conclusion of World War Two all Garands were recalled by the military and sent to Springfield Arsenal for the purposes of inspection and rebuild. And here's how they did it: strip all rifles; gauge all parts. "Go" parts get put in bin "A"; "no-go" parts get shit canned. Now parkerize all old "go" parts, add new parts as necessary, and re-assemble from Bin "A".

So, one might get a "Winchester" receiver, TRW barrel, Singer bolt, Springfield Arsenal stock, and odds and ends from any other manufacturer that made one of the 5 million Garands that were recalled, rebuilt, and re-issued; to every damn Army in the free world. Therefore, it is distinctly possible to have a "Winchester" Garand, which ain't . . .

It is also possible to have one that was a Winchester original and never recalled. Rare - very rare, but possible. A "true" Winchester Garand (M1) would easily be worth a thousand dollars, maybe two thousand, depending on condition and serial number, etceteras. It would require what is called in the collectors trade, a "provenance" - proof from Winchester of originality. Not likely any more . . .

Well not quite. TRW barrels only came on M14s. Singer only made parts for M1 carbines.

He is right that since the parts were completely interchangible that almost all of them have a wide variety, Harrington and Richardson, Springfield Armory, Winchester, and International Harvestor. There are also some Italian Berreta parts and Danish VAR parts.

The WRA charging handle, and barrel mean that it could be restored to all WRA, the barrel is the hardest part.

Since all Winchesters are pre war pretty much all of them were aresenal refinished after WWII and prior to Korea. Becuase of this just having a WRA barrel is hard to find!

A Winchester barrel and reciever are very collectible.
 
If this is real, what's even more amazing than what he did was the fact the he completely fails to understand the atrocity of his actions - he still thinks it's "cool"...
 
Not bad nearly 1400 views and over 100 replies in less then 7.5 hours not bad at all.:thumbup:
 
U have to be the most ill minded person ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your grandfather would be sick
and probably beat you with the other piece of severed stock.
I understand it is yours.
BUT!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! You have utterly ruined a family heirloom
and destroyed what your grandfather used to keep THE U.S.A FROM LOSING A WAR. ROT IN HELL
 
When you get your butchered Garand back together into firing condition, load it, aim it at your nut-sack and pull the trigger. Must've been too much lead in your drinking water.:grumpy:
 
NO M1 GARANDS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS PRANK

i own 9 m1 garands including a NM springfield, 2 HRs and 2 winchesters, a whole slew of 03s, 03a3s and carbines. the gun pictured is actually 3 guns, the first "found" gun is a H@R. the reciever picture of course is one of my winchester garands, and the "sanded garand" is a ww2 era springfield with a bad barrel. its a wall hanger that i made from spair junk parts.

we had this idea after one of my correct HRs blew up at the range on saturday, as far as we can tell the round was double loaded. ive had the reciever checked and the gun is now setting in a new stock good as new. the stock and forward hand guard were a total loss how ever, that was alittle bit of a pain because that was one of the rare offcenter HR stocks that were put on a few of them before the supplyer lost there contract, ive seen worse condition counterparts sell on gunbroker for 500+. the stock was cracked from the front to the back. infact the only thing holding the gun togeather when we cut the stock was the front band, we had to do a repair with elmers school glue. i almost posted the first picture, that would have toasted me right off the bat. and before any one gets the atf down my neck the gun was 10 inches longer than national and state law AND the stock was destroyed after the pictures were taken.

BTW, the pictures and uniform belonged to my great uncle who sadly passed away about a month before my birthday.





heres proof that the polished gun was a SA and the stock was junk


 
lol, atleast yall are taking it as a good sports. no harm ment to be done. i was going to kill the party so much sooner but it got pretty good for a while so i let it flow. it was more entertaining than what was on tv tonight:D
