Sir,
My compliments on your websites. I spent quite a few enjoyable minutes perusing the data. I did in fact take delivery on my SA Garand, and I am taking it to the range next week to see what she can do. The stock is in rough shape, but is solid with no cracks, and it's built on a SA receiver, trigger group, NM op rod, and SA barrel. IIRC, the serial number indicates a March 1944 manufacture date. I feel confident that she will hold up her end of any homeland defense issues that come down the road.
Take care, and stay safe.
John
