M1C scopes and mounts

[Hagar]

Gang,

My tax refund is burning a hole in my wallet and I've located a prior CMP M1C Garand for a reasonable price. It has only the base plate but no mounts, rings or scope. It fills a hole in my US sniper collection and I'd like to keep it all USGI with no reproductions. What would a USGI mount and rings cost me and where should I look? Likewise on the M81 scope.

Many thanks,

Hagar

Just sold a post WW2 USGI mount (unmarked) and a Lyman Alaskan B prefix M81 for $1900.00

Johnny,

Dang! I'd have bought that from you in a New York minute. I note from comments on CSP in the past that counterfeits are fairly common. Do you know of an honest and reliable source for this rig?

Thanks for helping.

Johnny,

Thanks a lot!
