As General George Patton has said ... “In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”

As far as mass infantry is concerned that may well have been true at that time.

I have a couple of them myself, and they are the cat's meow for putting heavy fire, of a significant caliber, down range out to and well beyond 1,000 yds!

Celebrated, or rather HONORED, D-Day's 75th rather heavily here with several movies and documentaries ....  and yes, a trip to the range as well!!!

Going to be gone a few day as I'm currently packing up to head off to Rendezvous .... Ah, the smell of Black Powder in the morning ... reminds me of ... History!!!    Please excuse the poor paraphrase of a quote from the movie "Apocalypse Now"
