I bought a garand ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
from tombstone. Originally I was gonna buy a m1 garand from bronz but I called him this morning and he had already sold his 600.00 garand ![[crying]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/006.gif "Crying [crying]")
. So then me and my brother decided to go to tombstone and see if he had anything well he had a garand for 600.00 and I got it cost me 620.00 OTD and he threw in 45 rounds of 8mm I was gonna buy.Didnt get to shoot it much because he had no ammo for it (already sold all his 30-06) and all we had was ten rounds on 03 strippers somebody gave me a while back. So we had to single load it one shell at a time because we had no clips.The only downfall about this gun is it has a refinished stock and the muzzle swallows a bullet but the rest of the bore isn't bad. Forgot to mention (boy am I stupid) she's a springfield armory and the serial # dates to december 1942 , I bet this gun shot her fair share of either Germans or japs. Still wish I had gotten the 600.00 garand from bronz though it had the been there done that look, but I didn't have the money at the time.Also does anyone know where I can get a original sling for it and a buttrap cleaning kit, I also need to get a ten inch bayonet the one in the pics is a 6 inch korean cut down.
As for the enfield as my brother and me were driving home he said he should have brought the enfield he had decided to sell, since we both lived in the same house I bought it off him for 100.00. He also collects milsurps (he got me into it) so he knew it was cheap it is a 1915 enfield that was altered into jungle carbine configuration by Santa Fe.
