Look real close. You will find a bunch of faked stampings, parts guns and bad pictures.

He didn't say he was looking for one of Audie Murphy's personal rifles, he just wanted a Garand.

Glancing through the list, the starting prices looked good. It's worth looking into.

Before I'd bid I sure want a whole lot more and better pics. As far as this being one persons collection, perhaps most of it is but they added much more to it.

Good thing Audie never fired a Garand, right?

Did Murphy carry a garand?

In the movie To Hell and Back starring him, He carried the Garand, Carbine & Thompson at different points of the movie.

Very short and in basic but he adapted to his Carbine quickly due to his size as he said. No where is the Garand he used in a museum. Rick B

"...Did Murphy carry a Garand..." PBI. Carried what he was told to carry until he could 'acquire' what he liked. Any PBI type would want a Carbine over an M1 Rifle. Weighs less.

Beware the buyer's premium on Proxibid.

Audie carried a Carbine

According to his book, Murphy carried the weapon he considered appropriate to the mission. One of his carbines is in the museum at Fort Stewart.

Sorry for the thread drift.

18% bid premium - wow.
