The Trio is complete...

[cphilip]

In my quest to fulfill my "Cold war" Removable Mag Semi Auto RIfle collection, I stepped off path just a little bit here for a minute. Decided to fill the Trio before moving on. That last one being the Garand that many of you already have. I had just obtained the M14/M1A along the original lines of my intent. Which was to take care of removable magazine Semi Auto's first as those would be the most likely to be banned in the future (Lets hope not but ya gotta be aware and careful). Don't have great pictures of them all yet but these will have to do for now...

Today I received my choice to fill the M14/M1A gap. I chose this SOCOM 16...

And, on the way in the mail tomorrow is the M1 Garand...

And as you know I already had the M1 Carbine...

Now... after I get over this financial set back (gathering Mags and Ammo for these), I will be back on the quest to finish the Cold War collection. Among the strongest candidates are the FAL. As a I already have a AR15, a Uzi and two examples of AK's (Type 3 clone and a AK74). The FAL should have been next but I felt it was time to finish the USGI trio before moving on to that.

The other Girls...

AWESOME collection, :wavey: i'm starting my own. i got the garand on the way from CMP and plans to buy the others. :wavey:

Get started soon Eddie. Times a wastin! Whats next on your list Eddie? Why not fill the M1 Carbine next. Out of all of them its the funnest to shoot. I recommend it. It gives me the most joy of them all. The M1A/M14 is the most expensive. Save it for last but get plenty of Magazines for all of them.

Great collection.

I've got the WWII battle rifle collection - M1 Garand, Remington 1903A3, German Mauser 98K, Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.1 and Mosin Nagant 91/30. I thought about a Japanese Arisaka but I just don't have enough interest to pay what they go for these days.

i have an M1 Garand coming from CMP, and am thinking about the carbine for the next one. i would like to get an AR before the ban though. (it goes along with the military weapons)
after the carbine i'd LOVE a springfield 1903...:drool:
