Wanted: Garand

[Bob Phillips]

As an " old guy" I was spoiled in my youth by the many varieties of surplus rifles available very cheaply. Lee Enfields were $29 at Sears, my local sports store had clean mausers for years at for $50-60 and I remember a Johnson self loading rifle for sale for $125 - which I regret to this day I didnt purchase.
So a reminder that just several years ago there was a temporary influx of cheap US made Garands- I bought one in London Ont for $150 after running a brush through several rifles and buying the one with the best bore. They were supposed to be from a shipment turned back at the US border as they origin ated from Vietnam. Dont know whether the story is true - but you might get one for a good price with a kijiji ad or some such. Mine is Springfield and shoots great!
