GB $700 Buy Now WRA Garand Photos

[22mike]

I saw this WRA Garand 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 ???

Around here a Winchester for 7 bills ---PRICELESS------- BTW can I borrow your highwaymans mask. Around here a Winchester is a minimum of 9 bills and that's for a rough one

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.
