If I go to the range with any modern, high quality, reliable firearm...no one will pay the slightest attention to me. Fancy optics and tack-driving accuracy? Nobody cares.

If I bring a M1 Garand to the range...people ALWAYS come talk to me. Every, single time. Within 5 minutes, somebody wants to know what it is or gush over how cool it is to see (a really old gun milsurp gun that I still havent gotten to feed 100% reliably). The latest was a retired prison guard who'd been issued one back in the day.

Wood stocks, 30-06, and PING is how you make new friends.

My father had his from WW2. Back in the '90's you could buy them from CCMP for like $150.00, depending on their "grade".

Heavy as fuck. Huge too, but a beauty of a weapon.

One could find Mausers, Enfields, and 12ga. trench guns too.
