About the Jeep
Seems a caliper was locking, which is why the brakes got destroyed. Seems fixed. Doesn't seem like they fixed the magic smoke problem - still smells like magic smoke. Bah.
And I didn't want those two field grade M1 Garands. Bah again.
I think I saw that Springfield is now making new M1's and they are fresh from the factory!
Think the boys at Auto Ordnance are making brand spankin' new M1 carbines too!
I hope you're driving an older TJ and not one of those newer Jeeps, BP? I just sold my mint 97 TJ Sahara (in desert tan and pickle green)and I miss it immensely. That thing was even more robust than the might Garand.
Field grade? I should say not!

Spendy or not, I'm glad you got the problem licked.
ReplyDeleteLocal gun shop here had a Springfield M1A1 with black synthetic stock; asking price was $1195. I'm afraid to look, now.
Sorry to hear that, Borepatch. Next I come to the Peach State I'll bring my Garand.
ReplyDeleteNext time I come down, I'll bring my tools- sounds like your caliper pistons need to be slicked up a bit...
ReplyDeleteDownside of being poor (or even comparatively so) is having to face decisions like that.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear that line about the rich having it as tough as the poor I want to hit someone. Specifically,t the rich person who says it.
