In celebration of President Trump winning th election, I decided to use my 2nd Amendment right and buy something I've been wanting for a long time.
Drove 12 hours roundtrip to Alabama and back to get this from the CMP Store in Anniston, Alabama. It has a Springfield Armory serial number dating back to 1942. So I'm really pumped to get an actual piece of history that could have been used in one of the great battles in history. I've always been interested in WW2 and we used the M1 in our Air Force ROTC Drill Team back in high school.
It isn't an original stock, but I'm fine with that. Most of the originals had been replaced at one time or another or had a little to much character (dents, dings, cracks, etc.). They didn't have any original US bayonets, but they had some Turkish ones that were made to go on the M1's that we provided them from the Lend/Lease Act.
