Obviously this is a long shot but I want to try before I move.
My grandfather passed probably 15 years ago he was in ww2 brought home his Springfield m1 garand.
Any way to locate this my mom doesn't know who bought it not her thing.
It sounds like I'll be leaving the northeast in the coming months for good and I'd like to track it down and buy it back before I leave.
So I'll start with the easier luck of the 2 did anyone buy a garand in the Holbrook area around 2005 during the summer.
And Obviously when that fails is there a good place to start for this... maybe an old army record attaching the sn to my grandfather. And a couple dealers who specialize in this stuff during that time?
No cool story he was a mechanic for the army. Just want to get a family heirloom
