I love my Garand!

Me too! I will say though, that it's a bit big for me...even the scout version. But I love it it's extremely accurate and..well you know it does the job. Not only that, it's a beautiful piece of work. Mine is a springfield, walnut stock and it's awesome. :) Do you have a picture of yours?

LOL...no pics! It IS a beautiful piece of work.

I had gone shooting on a cold morning last year, and even though I cleaned the weapon after use, it must have absorbed moisture or something, and when I put it in the sheepskin lined bag, mold grew on it!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the good side, it made me really work on the stock with ultrafine steel wool and tung oil, and boy, it looks just beautiful now...:)

I live near the Springfield Armory, and go there about once a year...they have a lot of stuff there on the Garand.
