    Great video...I came up through NRA Jr. Marksmanship clubs in the early and mid-50s. Lots of memories here. I get the idea that basic rifle craft is not much in vogue these days.

    Really enjoyed the video. Shows that John Garand didn't design the M1 in just a few years, but over a period of nearly two decades.
