There is an estate auction here in three weeks with a Garand listed. Guess I need to go see if Mrs Santa Claus will go with me and take her checkbook along.

Good on yer, SLB! Get that Garand!

Last Christmas, my brother, who's been shooting as long as I have (since we were teens), ran a bunch of rounds through the M1 I bought through the CMP, and he said he'd never had a favorite rifle -- until now.

He's been wanting to buy one, but hasn't been able to scratch up the cash. Imagine his surprise when I give him one this Christmas!
