NAA, that is the nicest looking one I have seen I think. Just gorgeous!
they all are, but yours is super nice!
I don't know that much about them technically, so maybe its not as desirable as some of the others, but it just strikes me.
And, 2 of them for under 4 bills? wow...
Oh and I didn't know about the lend lease thing on rifles. I knew the US sent certain figher planes(P-39s and some others) to the Russians, but I figured they used Mosins and SVTs as thier mbr. Cool to learn something.

I've got a James River Armory M1...it's a refurb..hope it's ok to post it in this thread 
I'm a M1 noob...so I didn't realize that I was blacking out a draw number on the barrel...not a serial number..it actually says "F6535448". The serial on the receiver (which I didn't take a picture of) indicates it's a 1943 Springfield. From what I've learned here, from a couple helpful members, the barrel is USGI, but I guess the rearsenal markings are hard to read and best guess is 53-54 Springfield. It's got the milled trigger guard which I think is Springfield ? Obviously the furniture is brand new with fake "original" cartouches. Other than that I know jack about it...haven't even had a chance to fire it yet
Love the rest of the rifles in the thread...really nice examples !

Joe N and Chris, I love those strait up WWII Garands. I think correct original WWII Garands are up there in rarity with matching K98's, in fact I've seen less of them.
I don't shoot mine either. With all the shooter grade Garands on the market, best to leave the few remaining WWII examples in the safe not chance it with the op rod.
