I got a letter in 2003 that said "Are you going to get bombed tonight? You're going to get bombed tonight." And that night the gas sirens went off all night long. it was extremely uncool

edit: that kid is now old enough to have graduated college and begun his life in the current trumpian hellscape. or possibly enlisted and died. either way lol

We got a mega hosed up graphic kids’ drawing with “Trample the wounded, hurdle the dead” written in there. Hopefully Jake, age 7, isn’t a murderer.

The generic ones could be funny non sequitors. “I heard you in war. We decorated our Christmas tree *smiley face*”

My favorite might’ve been the most younger brother of a boot ever.

“My brother is army. He shine boot. He jump wall. He shoot gun. Sargent yell. Dad says prezdent mooslem.”

I swear we got that, more or less, and it was hosed but also hilarious.

expeditionary forces gonna expeditionary

Here, have a crosspost from the milsurp thread with a gun that might have been maybe used by the USMC in 1942. They were the only ones still being issued these who weren't, like, POW camp guards.

Well, more like internment camp guards. I don't know if we had actual POW camps that early.

Cyrano4747 posted:

Hey, since we're having 1903 chat have a few pics of mine. I'm wondering what the 1903 gurus here think about it. My understanding is that it's a transitional one, part way between when Remington switched off from all milled parts to doing some stampings in preparation for the move to the 1903a3 standard.



FJA over CSAA and the crossed cannons



1903 sight in all its insane glory



stamped barrel band. Most of the other parts are milled. I'd have to look closer to find all of them, but this is the one that stands out.



12-42 dated barrel. IIRC the receiver is late 42/early 43.



These little guys abound in the various nooks and crannies



Here are some older pics. I snapped those with my phone, here are some I took almost 15 years ago with what was at the time not a bad camera. This is pretty typical both of the quality of my pics from that era and some of the "R" marks on the smaller metal bits.



Shot of stamps on the bolt. I presume this means Remington 1942 manufacture.



The bore is frosty in the grooves, but the lands are shiny and sharp. On the whole it's in really good shape and pretty much looks like it got little use before it was surplussed off whenever. I got it way back when from an older collector who let go of a good chunk of his collection to fund a trip to Alaska, so it was a deal even back in 2006.

edit: I strongly suspect this was a CMP/DCM gun back in the 80s or 90s, just based on the dude I got it off.

Shoots really nice too with M2 ball.

edit: I can grab pics of any other bits if there's anything of interest. My knowledge of USGI surplus is much, much shallower than German.
