I need to say, the Garand is one of my favorite historically signifigant rifles. At the monthly gun club meeting last Monday night I got elected to the Board of Directors and after the meeting met my latest Garand.

An old WWII veteran had a Springfield M1 Garand that he wanted to go to a good home. It is now on establishment and is a good shooter. As president of my county historical society for my 4th year, I am pleased to say this Garand will go on display, with proper accoutrements, upon my demise, in our local historical museum.

In the vault at the local gun club, I have a number of CMP M1 Garands. One is an early Springfield with a serial number below 25,000. It had the early gas trap system and was arsenal reconditioned at some point and is in mint condition. Another is a mint International Harvester. When I complete my service running the NMC matches, they will come home with me. All the best...

Gil,

I agree, they are historically significant Garands. After they "come home with you" where will they end up?

I never saw a hearse with a full luggage rack, so we need to dispose of stuff before they "close the lid."
