My grandfather called me the other night to ask me what a 30 caliber semi-auto military rifle was worth. He told me it was a Springfield, and was just a little thing with a bayonet lug. I figured he was talking about a 30 carbine. He said he could get it for $200.00. I told him to get it ASAP!
Me and the wife went over to visit the next night, and I asked him if he got it. He went to his bedroom to bring it out. As soon as he rounded the corner, my eyes got as big as hubcaps! A GARAND!!! A Springfield M-1 Garand in about 85-90% condition. If it wasn't for the nicks in the stock, I'd say a sure 90%. He said the guy was selling all his guns to make room for a baseball card shop. He picked it up for $200.00. I asked him what he was going to do with it. He said sell it! I stood up, and whipped out $400.00. He said he would only take the $200.00 he paid for it. WOW!!!!! As I was leaving, he said...Don't you want the ammo?
AMMO????? He handed me a full ammo can that looked to be never opened!! FOR $200.00!!!!!
Now then....... The cleaning kit is gone, and there was no bayonet. Where can I pick up these goodies for a decent price.... and how much should I be ready to spend????
