>can get lee einfeld, nugget, or mauser for relatively cheap

There's more metal, nostalgia, more parts, semi-automatic. Just to name a few.

America fuck yea
Also nobody wants to part with their garands because they're probably heirlooms.

>>33061588
So then why did bongs, krauts, and russians part with their rifles for so cheap? That's what I don't get

>>33061601
The brits were going to melt them or give them to India so why not make a buck, krauts had no choice but to give them up, russians made a million of them. $800 garands are out there still.

>>33061619
Were british soldiers not allowed to keep their rifles after the war?

>>33061635
Fuck no! The eternal nanny state would not allow that shit. See, the queen decided to melt guns after WWI. So the civilians were defenseless come WWII so as part of the lend lease program US citizens were asked to donate whatever guns they could to the British civilians. Once the war was over they melted all the guns again.

That's horrible

>>33061671
Churchill why didn't you stop this

>>33061775
Because he was the biggest kike of all

>>33061814
he hated jews though

Most are already owned. The M1 Garand market is drying up.

NOW if Trump would be a bro and undo what Obama did and let that big collection of M1s and Carbines finally come from Korea, we'd be good.

And in true poetic fashion he became what he hated the most. See, freedom as we like it is an outlier. It's an unneeded variable to the brits and not conducive of a "happy" (read: placid) state. Far easier to control someone when they're a few balls shy of a pair. Worked well on the conlonies so why not at home?

This, all those poor garands and carbines sitting in some warehouse, just waiting to be oiled, rubbed down. To find a loving home with someone who will love and loo k after them. Someone should make this into one of those aspca style commercials with tht fucking Sarah mclauchlin song
