Wow, that is a beautiful rifle.
To those considering buying a Garand.
Please do NOT listen to the "experts" who will, on various gun forums, try to make you feel badly when you get a service grade. They are people who, apparently, have so little of a life that they will try to run down anyone who buys a service grade, or otherwise.
Enjoy your Garand.
They are sturdy weapons and there is no point in treating them like they are museum pieces.
If you want to buy a Garand worthy of display in a museum, then God bless you. There are already plenty of those around.
Buy one. Take care of it. Shoot it. Enjoy it.
