Nickle, you are a major league enabler.
I like that in a fellow NESer!![[thumbsup]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/044.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
Hey, there's always more room for more M1 owners. Consider the purchase of a Winchester M1 an investment.
Besides, all of us old bastards have to stick up for each other.

Surprise free gift in the mail today. The Danish sling I got from LTC was literally from the bottom of the barrel, the last one. They recently got in a new shipment and sent me a first class one for free! Nice people up there in Maine. So I have a spare Danish sling if anyone has a Garand that needs to be 'Daned'.
I have a new WRA op-rod on the way from CMP forums. The other one went out in today's mail.

The new op-rod came today. Popped it in and headed to the range. 56F. Overcast, light breeze. I knew it was good when it slipped correctly into the groove. Shot 40 rounds of 71/76/78 HXP. Started left and worked my way in. First to last shot was the 12:00 when I tried 1 more click of elevation. I think most are a snitch low as I had trouble seeing the target and had a little daylight under the black to help. Op-rod performed perfectly, absolutely no issues. If I want a little daylight to help me see, I may have to add that click back.
I took 2 pictures in case they fippped. I have no computer at the moment; I bought a new MacBook and am having the data transferred.

I tried a practice run. 52F, mostly sunny, quite windy. Two enblocs standing, seated, and prone. Mix 65/66/71/76/78 HXP. Prone was tough. I used two mats; one to lay on and one rolled under my chest so I didn't have to bend my neck at such an acute angle. Hasty sling. Looks like a lot were left

You know, I really miss my computer and hate this phone. It flips the normal picture, but when I flip the picture, it leaves it flipped.
I should add that there were no issues at all with the Winchester. Left target was standing, then sitting, and then prone.

try using the sling as intended hasty sling is just that hasty.... no sling off hand.
practice dry fire at home... put up a 3/8-1/2" dot 10-15' away on the wall and practice off hand dry fire. shots going left are generally poor natural point of aim or trigger control...or toss on a little right windage.

And the finale - a refurbished Utica Cutlery M1 bayonet from CMP. By far the most cosmoline covered anything I have ever handled. It looked like they pushed them into a tub of the stuff without the handles and then put the handles on and dunked it again.
The blade is unsharpened. In fact the blade is so dull...
...how dull was it?...
...the blade was so dull I couldn't even get it to stick into the wood pile. I had to lean it against the Garand!

The blade was so dull that Gary Johnson got better debate ratings than the blade.
