1954 Springfield (service grade that missed a correct grade with the HRA OpRod, I traded it away to make it "complete")

2013 Update
 

2013 BUMP!

I just got the email today that I will be receiving my second Garand (actually two of them) tomorrow! Happy Christmas to ME!!!!! I will have to do a photo session with both of them.

PS: There are some beautiful rifles in this thread.

Any more pics from members with new acquisitions?

cool! i'd love to have a Garand but the only ones I can find local are like $1100, for a few hundred more i'd just get an M1A.

Zane check out CMP.com and join them and they will send you information how to get one..............


Clyde

thanks Clyde! i'll check them out.

Not exactly new acquisitions, but I picked these two up together a few months ago.

The Garand is a 1953 or 54 H&R.

The carbine is a 1944 Winchester.

+1 on what Clyde said. I got mine for $625 Service Grade, Springfield Armory from CMP.

Awesome pair!

When I was on a re-supply mission in Nam, I managed to "acquire" an M-2 carbine with banana clips and a couple hundred rounds of .30 cal. I sold it for $50 before rotating back to the States and later found out the guy I sold it to, shipped it back home broken down and stuffed into two Vietnamese dolls! I didn't have the sack to to ship it home. He later sold it to the local FBI agent who gave it to his wife for deer hunting! He was from Catawissa, Missouri. Guess those southern boys have no idea about the federal laws regarding full autos.
