"Sick" Garands would likely be in the gunsmithing forum.

I don't know if anyone really has an "ultimate Garand". They're all awesome in their own way, whether it be history, condition, etc.

Here's mine:

1954 Springfield Armory. In excellent shape all around. The wood is lighter than these show.

Some crappy pics, I really should do a nice photoshoot one day and show her off in all her glory.

1944 Springfield, with a 1966 VAR barrel:

It loves 165gr SST's over 47.5gr of IMR4064. My last target for sighting in before hunting season last fall (shot off a rest, with iron sights at 100yds):

It has accounted for 2 deer so far in my hands, with hopefully many more to come.

I am working on my last build now. They are a very addictive rifle. I have bought and sold quite a few now, time to slow down and enjoy shooting the ones I kept.

 

[Jon117]

Well if any of you get tired of holding that cumbersome gun , I guess I could take it off your hands for you, free of charge too. It's a very generous offer if I may say so myself.

I was going to order a McCann .458 Win mag. Garand a few years back, but the
builder died....and so did my dream of owning a truely sick Garand.

Now if you had a small LCD Screen pop up out of that stock (maybe the butt plate) complete with a concealed speaker playing all the BoB DVD`s.....the Icing on the Cake.

Apologies for those who have seen these in the past. I so need to take a few new shots of this one.
This is my M1D built on a Dec. 1940 receiver.
Open Box SA stamp on the stock under the cheek-piece.
“555” drawing number on top of the barrel.
“Hart” flash hider.
K-Line cheek-piece.

BS I say! The garand is the original battle rifle, too good to be relegated to sitting alongside threads about ruskie milsurp crap.

To get back on topic, this thread is timed perfectly for the return of my garand from Vulcan Gun Refinishing, I should have it by Monday. I may post pics
