He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
That's easy. (3). I don't have to feel bad destroying value tuning up performance to perfection!
I have no use for "pristine", and I don't think "correct" really means anything, unless its one of those rare few that never made it in to service in which case I equally have no use for it.

But that was times gone by here in Canada. The rest were all available, but now none are safe so I'd have to respectfully decline all...

The WW2 rifle *if* it truly passes the eyeball test for originality. Don't forget the follower rod.
Can I get #1 for less than a thousand?
I was always a collector, so the original 6-digit rings my bell. Bet it's a Brit LL.
Real men measure once and cut.
1. I'm immediately skeptical when anyone says "all original" about a Garand, especially one that is "available." I find the definitions vary when pressed for details.
2. "Correct grade" is just a marketing term. It's nothing you can't do yourself with a few buddies swapping parts. Yeah, it's kinda cool if you care, though, and if it comes with the CMP tag, it helps resale value for your heirs.
3. I thought myself better than average in rifle knowledge and have no idea what an AFPG is.
