This one's a little outside our usual ballpark, but we couldn't resist. At the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe had a chance to get his hands on General George S. Patton's M1 Garand, which was made for him in 1944 and will appear on the next season of Gun Gurus on Outdoor Channel. As unique a piece of American history as you're like to find, the rifle's a beauty—and we can't wait to hear the rest of its story. Get a sneak peek with the video embedded here.
