We always had carbines and Garands, and 03A3s around the house. The old man used to "find" 20 gallan drums of ammo for them. Never did find out where it actually came from, but it was always there. There wasn't much money around, so it couldn't have cost him much. Looking back he was probably trading stuff from work for it.
If you wantd to go shooting Sunday, you had to find time on Saturday to load magazines and enblocks or you were left behind.
