    Couldn't agree more. He is a plagiarist also.

    Marty,
    To answer your question if it has not been done so, a non serifed 13 would be ok in your late rifle prior to WIN-13 usage.

    As usual on here, a lot of good info comes with any question. It had not been pointedly answered but in a roundabout way had. But yours is the direct answer that I was looking for. I just haven't found whether the 13 would be good or not. Thanks, will get the 13 ordered and finish this job.

    Harrison's M1 book? The same Harrison from this quote of your previous post: "I am sure ---------- as a recommended source ? and don't use Harrison either."

    Should I study it for good information to use, or for information---("and don't use Harrison either")---that I should not use?

    Best Regards

    Rick B,

    A plagiarist also? Did not know that! Is that something you heard, or do you have first hand knowledge? If you do have personal knowledge, please give us some examples. Would be nice to know who he copied without permission. Any examples of plagiarism and mistakes he has, would be good to know. Thanks!

    Rick B,

    Thank you for the suggestions! I have two of them, and I will look for the M1 GARAND - by Bruce Canfield. Does it have different and additional information than his other book you recommended, or is it a lot of the same pictures and information? Thanks again!

    Orlando,

    Hope it is OK to respectively disagree? (Or, to agree to disagree.) Is it (bad) info on followers, or (bad) info on pictures that is worse? (Or, you can substitute any item you like for followers/pictures.)

    Some were taught that all info (good, neutral, or bad) is important. Bad info on followers or in pictures, at the extreme, would mean that all possible (any) follower or pictures of them could be recommended as acceptable!? No? And, no info, on all possible (any) follower or picture, (that is, no information for or against any follower), would mean the same, that any follower could be recommended as acceptable (or accepted)? No? Yes, I know, if there is no info on any follower or picture at all, how could one be recommended? Well, you acquire a pile of random followers or pictures of the same, and then randomly pick one. So, any follower that is picked is acceptable. Is this not basically the same? BAD info is the SAME as NO info!? Not worse!?

    Good info would be best! No? If we just had a "Supreme Decider/Authority", then any (and all) info they gave would be the final good answer(s)! Do you have a Supreme Decider on followers, or on pictures, or on----? But, that would be boring---just like utopia---we would have no freedom to think and CHOSE FOR OURSELVES---with the best info (good, neutral, or bad) we had at that time. (If all we had was the final good answer, how would we know---if there was not some bad info for comparison) FREEDOM!!!!

    It would be nice if we were open to all info, have an open mind, be willing to consider other opinions, and maybe--just possibly---change our opinion on followers, pictures, books, or----?!! NO, of course not, not when it comes to the M1 GARAND!!!
