Unless it's the M1-D, the Garand Sniper, in which the scope is offset to the left to load the clip. In that case, that rifle is even more a travesty since M1-Ds are far less common.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, I have no idea.

It's a Huntin' Rahful, you load one clip before mounting the scope, shoot three rounds to zero, then you have a legal five rounds left to get your deer/elk/moose/yeti/whatever. Then you put it back in the case until next season.

I actually believe you. I mean, MAYBE you can wedge one in there, especially if it's a smaller five round clip, but I believe the only way would be to remove the scope. I'd also mention that is only the second or third sporterized Garand I've ever seen. It seems people were kinder to them than other guns. Or maybe I'm biased because it's to heartbreaking to go looking for them.

American planes, full of holes and wounded men, took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground.

Ugh, that's terrible. Goddamn.

"re" parkerized isn't even the right term. That gun should be blued. Someone took grandpa's valuable bring back and took it down to used-high-power levels as a pure utility gun.

Christ, whoever did that park job really had a heavy hand with the media blast, too.

What's a new High Power cost these days? $500 is high for that thing in that condition, either as a range toy or as a slot-in for a German pistol collection until a nicer P35(b) can be found.

Hold your stomach until the end

Agreed this is stupid on his part but if I may dream for a second, the ATF is moving in the wrong direction regarding the definition of a receiver. These most recent decisions regarding airsoft only add to the ambiguity. A receiver should be a component built for the purpose of being a working firearm, not a toy, or a box or tube with a slot in it. If someone rigs up a box or toy or tube into a working firearm illegally, punish them for that. Constructive possession crimes are absurd.

That is an interesting precedent. My guess is he doesn't know? (I hope?)

Also, why would anyone call something 4/32" and 2/32" instead of 1/8" and 1/16" ?

It's meaningless to define a receiver at all if an object functionally identical to one isn't.

While I agree I wonder if this airsoft receiver is truly functionally identical.

If people are taking airsoft and making illegal guns out of them, then the ATF should pursue and prosecute that action.

Especially since that one appears to be made in Az, I wonder if the ATF is going to pay the factory a little visit if they haven't already.

It's not a real VLTOR at all and very unlikely to be made in the US. Airsoft companies copy the popular low-drag manufacturers as closely as possible and there's no requirement for them to honestly stamp the real info on the receiver since it's (maybe) not a gun.

Haha this.

Also, I did notice that that "lower" is missing a few holes that are fairly important, namely the buffer detent and spring hole; it also looks like the safety detent hole does not exist. I would imagine that an airsoft FCG would be slightly different from these observations, also the bolt catch area is different.

Compare:

The buffer detent isn't necessary for the rifle to function, and the safety detent hole would be really easy to drill (it's also not necessary for the rifle to fire).

That's not really important, is it? It just makes it a tiny bit more difficult to reassemble from a field strip.

Is 4/32" easier than 1/8"? Or 8/32 instead of 1/4" or 16/32 instead of 1/2"?

Is there some sort of fetish with 32nds in with the firearms community I'm unaware of?

Edit: That is an honest question, not trying to be a jerk. I measure poo poo daily and the rule of thumb is to break the fraction down to make it easier to understand.

I'm ordering some stuff from a machine shop in the US right now, and non-reduced fractions of inches pop up all the time in their documentation, so I assume it's not unusual.

If you're not dealing with nominal measurements like drill bits and threading (and using fractions instead of decimal inches/mils/whatever), there's really nothing to be gained by reducing your figures every time you present them.
