Ordered this puppy back in November of 2020 and showed up today. 1952 era receiver by Springfield. New Barrel and new wood model Garand in 30-06. Can't wait to try this one out.

Better than the crappy cardboard box I got mine in several years ago.

Looks good! Is that a special rack or some other grade?

Same as the M1 Garand I was issued (1957) during basic training. A much used Springfield.. #10616778.

Thanks Benny! On a side note, I recently got access to a couple of M14s at work, and actually used one of your youtube videos to learn how to take them down and lube them properly. I found it through google, and when I pulled it up and started watching it, I thought, "Hey, I know that guy

"!

I've become pretty familiar with the Garand, but there are some significant differences with the M14, and your video was very helpful, so thanks very much!
