    Default The Wait Begins...

    Well, just sent in my payment for my Garand. Went with the SA service grade. Now, I have to wait...guess that means accessory shopping!

    Supposably people are getting very nice rifles from that condition. I have also heard the wait is not very long.

    I ordered a Service Grade and a Collector Grade in Feb 09, received the SG in July 09 and the CG about 3 weeks later.

    The SG was in VERY nice condition. The CG looks unissued. Both were Korean War vintage.

    I mailed my order for a SA service grade on Monday. Hope everything I hear about how nice they are coming out now is correct. Hey Birddog, it's a race to see who get's theirs first!

    Yea, I've been hearing and seeing photos of some incredible rifles. I heard, though I can't confirm, that with the shipment they got in from Greece, there were more than 300 un-issued Garands. That word came from my gunsmith. He also said that a large number were essentially unissued, but because the foil wrapper came off of the muzzle and sights in shipment, they couldn't be called un-issued. I thought that he said that those rifles would be sold as service grade. Guess we'll see!

    A beer to the one who gets his Garand first!
