Battlefield pick-up Garand M1. It is just as I got it from an old geezer who had been hiding it in a wardrobe filed with old clothes since the end of the Battle of the Bulge.

Handed over my AR15 for destruction yesterday which was a sad sad moment. Then spent my Jacinda-Bucks on this:
Hammerli Tac R1 .22
I need to put a suppressor on it and a torch and I'm ready to go after possums again.

Very nice, I've been thinking about getting one of the Chiappa M1-22 for something retro looking.

Bumping this thread and breaking a rule (apologies)
This is a M1 Carbine I’ll inherit from my step-grandfather, he owns it legally and I intend to own it legally as well and write up all the BS papers to the police station/Gendarmerie when something happens to him. The latter the better...

I read that armorers on the battlefield would repair damaged rifles using intact spare parts from other rifles. Obviously serial numbers would not match, but I would think those repaired rifles would still be worth a lot based on their provenance, yes?

That’s true, @TheKiwi it was quite heavily modified to the point I wonder if Roosevelt would approve of it, at least it’s modernized in a nice way.
Ultimately I’ll have to mention to the Police I’m going to own it - I cannot put myself in trouble over this. If it’s too critical, no other choice than hand it over to the authorities. I need to read up about the firearms laws better since oh well step grandpa is deaf as f*** and it’s hard to even ask him who won last weekend football games.

That's what happened. Most of the GI WWII small arms w find over here are "mixmasters", but not all of them...I have some nice M1 carbines that have all the original pieces.
I guess that they would get a price, but it's hard to tell how it would play out unless somebody imports these WWII small arms back to the US of A.
A few months back we had Steve Rutledge and Marty Morgan from the GCA visiting, they were quite excited about some of our WWII battlefield pick-ups.
