That's one of my favorite guns. I had a chance to shoot one in Vegas this past summer. It bruised me pretty good. But not as bad as this one

Thanks, very nice.
On the newer cameras, if you hold the button down half way it takes a second or so to focus, then push it. If it was from a phone, you need a new phone. I have an old Winchester too in .38-40, love it.
That's old school Dirty Harry stuff. Can you believe how many shooters we have with such sophisticated equipment?
Waiting on a Dark Widow Night Vision device to show up. You use your own optic and supposedly gives you GEN3+ out to 500 yds. I tested it in a dark room and I was reading a magazine in zero light. Not sure why I need it, but F-it.... never know when you need to kill sh1t in zero light environments.

i almost called you - seriously.
I bought the following in a very raw kit form. The wheels were splintered in areas, and the flat metal work had been gouged severely when the fabricator did his pre shipping assembly using a crude box wrench. It's sat in my closet for nearly 6 years or so. Now with the birth of what will likely be our one and only grandchild, I decided to finish it as a keepsake for my daughter and 9 month old grandson.
Seeing now that it came with Amish utility wheels, and the obligatory kitchen cabinet door pull handles, I've seen fit to polish all the brightwork on a hi speed buffer; replacing all the original nuts, bolt, washers, etc. with polished stainless steel and solid brass. The gouging on the flat metal work took literally months to finish to a flat mirror finish. Working with what available light I had, I found it almost impossible to render photos that show this brilliance; but I know it's there, and that's what counts.
I'll attach an engraved brass plaque between the cheeks. At some point I may add lock chains, correct wheels, and proper implements as well as reverting it back to all black hardware, but I think I'm kidding myself. I don't have any real fabrication skills, and frankly I think it just pops the way it is. The ultimate unsolicited compliment came when my wife and daughter actually said it was gorgeous. If you're married, you know the significance of such a rating.
It'll most likely reside it's entire life as a fireplace ornament without ever being fired. I'm now the proud owner of a thunder mug from the Good Doctor Brown which I'll use for such momentous historic events as New Year's Eve and my grandson's first birthday.
I just received this Thunder Mug. It's 51 pounds of 1045 steel. I'll use this for blank loads only. Once something like this is fired, it immediately draws a crowd, so I had it made with a standard of safety that most knowledgeable BP guys share. The one inch bore is totally surrounded by twice the steel of two inch walls, and also the area below the bore.
When Spring comes, I'll paint it with Chevrolet Orange/Red engine enamel to make it look like a huge firecracker for the local kiddies.
Here's one in action with 4 oz. of Fg black powder using common baking flour as wadding.
This is awesome. Turn up your volume...

I have a softspot for M1 Garands. Until New York City decided to enforce their gun laws in 2013, I used to own a DCM Garand, 1945, and Anniston depot rebuild.
Did you look up the serial in Scott Duffy?

I've done a lot of research since I received the rifle. I wanted to find out as much history as I could about it. Duff's site was very helpful.
It's actually a March of 44' origin 2.7m. It was rebuilt in 52' by Springfield and sent to Korea. It had some more updating again at some point with a 63' barrel and repark. I think that was done when the rifle came back to the US. Receiver, bolt and gas cyl are original.
You know what a battle rifle is after you've held a Garand.
