The M1 Garand that I have does not have any wood on it.
The ones that I have with wood is a 1917 enfield found in a river in Meuse Argonne and the other one is a M1 carbine found in one of the boat sunk in front of Omaha beach.

Chris,
Thanks for posting the photos. What great finds. I was happy to find a split .303 case in 2006, that made my trip.

was it on Omaha or Utah?
It is always nice to be able to pick-up a relic yourself for souvenir.

I found it on Omaha just SE of Les Moulins along the rocks put in to support the sea wall.. It was never fired and split in half, packed with sand.
