Don't know a Benelli from a Bugatti Ted- wish your Jarhead Dad was still with us and "A-Jay Squared Away"- appreciate his service in our beloved USMC, bet he knew as I do that "NCO's run the unit too"!! The M-1 Garand- still a fine weapon, although I have a 1903 Springfield USMC Korean Sniper rifle-the whole Magilla I guess- USMC leather lace on cheek pad, flash suppresor (NOT a silencer) mine wears an Unertl 10x and it is a "dinger"--RWTF
