Hmmm.....Somebodys been banging their loaded 8 shot clips on the side of my M1 Garand!
I had noticed a bit of stock filler in some tiny round dings on the right side of the butt, plus a few of the same on the other side too.
Just dawned on me what they were! Two staggered rows of 4 bullet points per row? Some idget has banged the points of his ammunition against the buttstock, once on the right once on the left. Not just unsightly, or all that noticable even. Been filled, stained, sanded, oiled, and I guess its old history now.
Good grief people! The rifle has a steel buttplate! If you must bang your ammo back in the clip, bonk it on the buttplate!
Shouldn't gripe I guess, just part of the guns history of use. Still, does bug me that somebody would idley mar the stock on such a beautiful rifle intentionaly.
