This morning my dad came into my room yelling to wake me up to eat breakfast and exchange our gifts to each other.
My parents ussally go way over board on my brother, his girlfriend, myself and my girlfriend, ussally giving us a few small gifts and one big gift each, Zac my older brother got to his big gift first and opened a box full of parts, which once all put together make an AR-15. Zac isnt much for guns or shooting but over this past year he has shot my AR-15's as well as my dads alot and has shown some intrest in getting his own some day.
Well he has his own now!
18" A2 rifle, my dad coached him through putting the rifle together.

As for mine there were plenty of hints along the way of unwrapping my big gift, 2 Garand Clips, a Garand Stock. Then finally a whole rifle, with alot of paper work to read through having never shot a Garand, I read what was important to firing my first few shots and takin the rifle apart for cleaning.

I was didnt know what to say when I took the rifle out of the case, I was excited and suprised and about ready to cry. I know sissy right. Dad got me an extra stock so I can refinish it, the one on the rifle was arsenal repaired.
Shot 4 clips through my new rifle with GI ball ammo and had to put it away because my girlfriend was coming over and I told her I would go with her to meet her family for dinner and such.
Oh, the parents got it from the CMP in Ohio, while they were down there dad pick a parts gun up for himself, reciever and barrel I think was all he got, then bought the rest of the stuff on line and put one together for himself.
What a day.
