It's Saturday!

I hate curly fries and Northbemder.

Waffle fries are da bomb.

Sold an excess Garand at the fun show yesterday. Someone else is now happy.

My wife and dog love me. And Jesus, because the Bible tells me so.

Morning. Slept in. Going to finish setting tile on a kitchen backsplash shortly. Grout tomorrow. One more project done. Y’all have a great weekend!
BTW Hal, wish I had enough sense to buy “extra” Garands back when I could have. I only have my one and only.

Nice and sunny here along the Gulf Coast. Yard stays like a swamp for the most part though due to all the rains.

Right proud to be on here and see that several of the old bunch are here. BTW has Sam - Dasob made it here, or Clyde?

[Chuck750ss]

I think Lyman has reached out to Clyde. Pretty sure Sam knows.

Same here Chuck. I bought my first and only Garand at a local army surplus store in 1990 for the princely sum of $300 plus tax. At the time I think they were running around $169 from the DCM. I was 20 and wanted immediate gratification so I paid retail. Also didn't know much about bore condition so I picked it because it had the lowest serial number of all the M1's on display. Springfield #45454. The bore was very worn so several years later had it rebarreled with a minty Marlin barrel I bought on ebay for sixty bucks. Now it shoots better than I can. I suspect it will be the only one I ever own.

Got mine from DCM. Think it was around 350 to my door.

I have only one Garand (Springfield). I bought it back around 2005 or so from a pawn shop. Price was $750 but was allowed $300 trade in on a like new Universal carbine that I drastically wanted to get rid of. The Garand I believe is mostly original even though it went through a rebuild or at least a re-park. It has a tiny re-import stamp on the bottom of the barrel. All markings are crisp, the barrel is Springfield 1943 with a tight muzzel and TE of 1.0 I believe. The stock looked awful but had no dents, dark spots, nor (unfortunately) stamps so I refinished it. It looks near new.

I've yet to shoot it though. Sickening huh?
