Well all the planets were in alignment.Got a line on a CMP Garand the guys is a couple of hrs. away.He's former military/recover agent.He had 2 for him and he's dad who has since passed.They shot competion with them.One used more than the other.He sold one yesterady to a WW2 Vet and the other was a safe queen.Talked to him saw pics in e-mails,and he talked to his mom about a trade I proposed.She said it up to you,so the trade is my RRA Coyote 20" HBAR straightup for the Garand.He is also going to throw in primers,dies,and whatever cases he has. :banana: Hope'in to do the deal next week.It's a H&R from between 1954/1956.Holy s h i t ,feelin a little tinglely.Not bad for a fifth grader. :hethan:
