At a gun show an older gent who's an experienced dealer was selling 2 of what he called 'Unfired H&R Garand Rifles', asking $1495.
He said the government sold these to him, recently (I think) in Anniston, Al. We're in the deep south so the Anniston part is certainly possible.
They did look new and had H&R receivers, barrels, very new looking 'black walnut' type stocks, but I'm skeptical. Seems to me if anyone found any unfired Garands they would go for considerably more?
I recall CMP 're-did' some garands with new stocks and barrels, but were the barrels marked H&R?
I'm interested but skeptical, and I'm not a Garand expert. I have an old pre-WWII Winchester mixmaster for shooting and like so many, I'm a fan.
For those of you who know these rifles, what should I ask and what to look for, and how likely is this actually to be?
Would you buy, and for what price?
Thanks
