Heh, I didn't know that it was a Canadian guy and to be honest I think I'd be much more excited getting my hands on a K98 or a Mosin-Nagant derivative. Although that ping does have a charm =).

(Er...did I ever say something which led to believe that I'd jump at the chance to fire an M1 Garand?).

@ T-Bone

It is a Thompson Center R55 Benchmark.

@ Odin

Good job, you guessed it right. I knew you were a milsurp kind of guy. Like I told the guy who owns the Garand, "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping."
His Garand is a 1942 model and it has seen action in WW2. It was rebarrelled in the 50s but the reciever is original. Who knows what stories that rifle could tell...

hehe

That is a .577 T-Rex. It looks like it has 'brisk' recoil.
