Basically, think “Boom!” and NOT from the muzzle end... closer to your face, actually.

Understood. Thank you.

Slightly off topic, but I was at a flea market a few weeks back in NH and some guy had a few guns...Red Ryder-type of BB guns up to an Enfield. The Enfield was beat to s**t: Scratched, rusted and had some weird scope mounted on it. The guy got it at an estate sale. He wanted $300. I offered $200. No sale.

Did I make a mistake in not buying at $300? No idea if it even fired, but I wouldn’t try in the condition it was in.

Well scratch that idea then.

I shot a lot of 1911’s in my military days. All were worn-out crap. For years afterward, I was convinced that all 1911’s were junk until someone handed me a brand-new Norinco in 1992. It felt like a different gun. Then, I tried a new Colt Series 80 and could not believe that it was the same gun as the junk the military handed me.

Try a new Inland. Made in USA.

I’d like a surplus M1 or Springfield ‘03.

Right here you go!

Thank you for the link.

The ‘03s are sold out and the Garands are pricy. Actually, everything in that site looked pricy.
