Muzzle Blasts, Pt. VII


Kudos to the folks who correctly identified the subject of Muzzle Blasts Pt. VI as a Garand, better known as the U.S. Rifle Caliber .30 M1. It's pretty hard to mistake the profile of the M1 Garand, with the gas system sitting so close to the muzzle, and the gas tube right there out in front for all to see.

Here's a better view of same, doing a wonderful job of sending 168gr MatchKings into nice groups at the rifle range:



For the next unknown muzzle, I give you a rarity, although the origin should be visible when viewed in finer detail:

Looks like an 03A3 Springfield barrel as used in the 03A4 "Sniper" version of the rifle
