Thanks, but not my first experience with them. My father had a couple when I was growing up. He sold his last Garand last year before I could say anything. Still have a Winchester and a TRW M14 though. Can't inherit them, but can still shoot them.
Sure, I just need a non-refundable "good guy" guarantee of $1000, plus $250 to ship it to you. After a few month, I'll probably get a couple of hundred bucks since you'll let me now that it's not for me and you will give it a good home. After an adoption fee of $500 and a 5 hour interview with 6 Garand gurus of CGN's choice, you will be the proud owner of an H&R Garand.........
The United States. Y'all come down an' shoot mine if'n ya want to. We can take a trip to Anniston Alabama an' I'll pick one out for ya. $625 US for a service grade.

Garands are always fun. They're actually the only type of gun I own these days. Had a collection of 10 firearms at my collections peak size. Now I'm down to an IHC, Winchester, H&R Garand and a b@stard Norc M14. Won't ever part with my Garands!
Must be nice !
Come on up here and I can let you shoot my .22
And Pak, while you are up here we'll sell you a crate of SVT 40s for $300 each

Several years ago, around 2007/2008 PS militaria brought in a bunch of IHC and H&R Garands for about $700 each. I was smart and bought one of each, if I ever sold them I'd easily get double.
The P&S imports were a good buy. Overall they were cosmetically grungy, but sound. They were very dry on oil/grease, but came from a middle eastern source which minimized rust/pitting. I bought a number of them and found that some parts needed to be replaced on all, re-parkerizing was required on most of them, stocks and handguards were generally in poor shape, but all barrels were unpitted and shootable. These were mostly late production Springfields, IHCs and HRAs and included some of the rarer IHCs. They were a great basis for a restoration project and the $600-$700 price seems like a real bargoon today.

I bought a H&R Garand from P&S, there was no corrosion or rust , and the barrel wasn't pitted, overall my rifle wasn't in bad shape, as you mentioned a good start for a restoration project, i have put some new parts into this rifle, and im pretty happy with it
