I also have a Garand question but did not want to highjack the other thread that was going. I would just like opinions on rather or not you all think the premium for a special grade over a service grade is worth it. I like the idea of completely refurbished nostalgia but a service grade is appealing as well. Anyway, I have been interested in one for a number of years now and I worry that the supply is going to be exhausted and I am going to miss the boat.
