I've mentioned it before but I was impressed with the 1942 Colt a friends uncle gave me along with his M1 Carbine. Both were in his duffle bag sat in a corner untouched since Korea I think? When he gave them to me it had two full magazines and one in the gun. He started to unload it but I requested he just leave em. I took the gun apart just for a checkup to make sure it was all there an safe to shoot. Didn't oil or clean, it wasn't bad. Took it to the range and all 3 magazines shot and functioned perfectly. The M1 also had 2 full mags but I've never shot it. It's pristine, I don't think he ever took it out of the canvas case it was stored in. The Colt he carried, had some honest wear but still not bad. Two of my best possessions.
Funny part was I was looking for an M1 Garand. He said he had one, but when I saw the bag I knew it wasn't a Garand but, in this case, even better.
