    My M1 just came in and I can't believe the quality through and through. Even the 3 cartouches are perfect. I almost hate to fire this beauty. Almost!
    The serial # puts receiver date of manufacture to 1st week November/43.

    Man, by the time I can save 2000 for a decent Garand, they'll be 4000 everywhere

    That rifle is gorgeous.
    You know you are a real gunnut when you start practicing trigger control on power tools.
