So you're saying that your gramps has a stolen USMC M40 sniper rifle stashed in his closet????? What is his name and address? I would have been confused with the U.S. and thought it was US. However, with the only 2 periods you used in this entire statement being after the U and the S it makes it evident that it means U.S. Marine Corp property then, correct?
Son, love to get young people involved in shooting and especially the history of our Armed Forces but please don't come on here making statements like this from the gitgo or your acceptance here isn't going to go well. A big majority of the members here are past or present service members and while some may have ridden on turnip trucks there are damn few who have fallen off one!!!!! Unless you can verify THIS statement via pics or any other comments, statements you make in posts here through pics, experiences or whatever <span style="font-weight: bold"> we don't take lies and bullshit real well on this forum.</span>
Remember, first impressions are very important in life. Just because it is the internet don't mean BS is easy to spread!!!!
Respectfully,

Well said! I hope that he will learn here and not burn here.
