[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1901131, member: 42"] They are a hoot to shoot, and they are money pits. In the sense that once you own one, one will not be enough. Buy the gun, not the story. There are tons of Garands out there...and lots of fake parts/stocks etc....I'd never buy a Garand from someone claiming to have an 'all original' or 'correct' Garand unless they had some verifiable provenance to go with it and/or I could lay my hands on it for a thorough inspection. I suggest every first time Garand buyer make their purchase from CMP, you can at least be assured that you aren't getting any humped parts and you aren't getting something that some guy slapped together in his garage. After that, get some of Scott Duff's books and enjoy learning about your rifle. [/QUOTE]
