    Question GB $700 Buy Now WRA Garand Photos

    I saw this WRA Garandicon on Gunbroker with a $700 Buy Now option. Sooooo..........I took a chance. Seller had very few photos and less description. Well........It arrived this weekend. It has a WRA receiver, trigger housing and trigger guard. Bolt and barrel are SA. The barrel is a WWII Wartime replacement marked 2-S- A-4-43. Nice clean barrel. The op rod looks like a national Match. Stock has RRA stamped on it. How did I do ???

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I have a 2.5 Springfield, with almost all sringfield parts, minus WRA bolt, and sights.
    So what makes the grade, as far as not being labeled MixMash, it just sounds so harsh and un-inspirational at times. I know, newbie and all, but I am trying to learn the real differences. I have learned that there are collectors, and there are shooters, and some are both, granted I also learned recently, the ones to have are 1941 or 1942 matching parts and wood. If you can back it up, its all the better for the buyer. I got a lot to learn, so any help here would be awesome. He said he had some mixed parts, but he seems to have done great, I got a couple mixed parts, but I'm mixmashed. Is it because of the Winchester and Springfield per-say, or the dates, or something? Like I said, I know I am still learning a lot, but would like to know as much as I can in this case. So I know where to set my goals on the Horison, like every one else I guess, and not get took when I get ready for the big investment.
