My daughter has given me back the M1 Garand that I gave her 18 years ago. She hadn’t fired it in 16 years and felt I should have it back. I am so very happy that she did.
I bought this rifle in 1990 as a cheap military curio. It was originally built in 1952. It had been in the lend / lease program in Korea until just before 1990. I paid $239 for it. It looked like a mistreated boat oar.
After a couple of years I had it restocked, rebarreled in .308 and accurized.
Here it is today. I plan to take it to the range next weekend.
