Here are four "must have" reference books for every M1 collector. Unfortunately, one is unavailable and two others are nearly as hard to find. Until now, that is!
First is Pyle's "The Gas Trap Garand". The publisher has been out of these for an eternity. You can find a copy on Amazon for $250 or more. Or you can have this one for significantly less. Why? Because my ex-b**ch of a wife decided to toss it and my other reference books into a leaky barn. So, it has minor water damage. This is cosmetic only and the book is otherwise 100% readable.
Next we have Pyle's "Ordnance Tools, Accessories & Appendages of the M1 Rifle". Again, minor water damage but otherwise 100% readable.
Finally we have a matched set of Ed Clancy's seminal work, "The Garand Papers". This is an unparalleled collection of original Ordnance files for the M1 rifle. This is set #038 and is signed by the author and inscribed to me. Sadly, we lost Ed at the end of last year but we will have these incredible tomes to honor his memory forever. These escaped the ex and are flawless.
These are being sold as a lot. I will not split them up. Again, I'm giving the members of the CSP first shot. If they are unclaimed by Friday I will cross post on the CMP forum where there are WTB for these as I type. The price is $275 for the lot which includes priority mail shipping. Paypal only, please.
