I swear for the life of me, I once had a book, (massive journal), written years ago that listed all, I mean all, Springfield rifles made.

I gave my old man an M1 Garand, .30-06, for Father's Day, new. Well not really new, serial number listed it as made in 1946, but in was wrapped in wax paper and cosmoline grease.

He cried. I said, "Why the tears? He said, "When I die, you'll just take it back".

"Good point Dad".
