Was at the Easton gunshow all weekend. While walking around this morning I overheard a man say something about selling Garands for 500 bucks a piece. Low and behold, when I asked him if I heard correctly he showed me two Garands. He said he was asking 800 each, but wanted them to sell and would take 1k for the pair. I picked up the first one and saw Winchester receiver and correct bolt. Needless to say I jumped. The other was a SA, and my friend who was with me took that one. We even got four bandoleers of ammo and clips with each rifle. I think we did rather well Now I am going over my rifle and debating on changing out all the SA parts that have been put on it over the years, and trying to make it as correct as possible. I don't have an erosion gauge, but I think the barrel is ok and it is a Danish VAR. I hear these are good shooting barrels and something the CMP buyers look for. I am rather new to the Garand world, so if anyone can offer any info I would appreciate it.
