Decided to go to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my Anniversary with KiloBravo. I had never been to a Cabela's because we do not have one in Kalifornia. KB talked me into going there first and then backtracking to Tahoe so we could enjoy our stay uninterrupted.

I was looking for a IHC in particular to finish my Garand collection set as I had just finished my Carbine set. I proceeded to the Library, where the good stuff is, and viewed a couple of Springfield Garands. There was no one to talk to in the Library but I spotted a person in the back office who I asked if they had any IHCs. He said they were about to get one and pointed to a rack where one rested with a trigger lock already in place. It turns out it was his and he was trading it in for a Kimber CC pistol.

The clerk was in the back drawing up the paperwork on which they were offering him $600 for the rifle. I told him I would give him $650 and when the clerk returned we gave him the news. They removed the trigger lock and escorted us to the front door where we proceeded to the parking lot the finish the deal. The seller then returned to Cabela's for his Kimber and KiloBravo and I proceeded to Tahoe to celebrate our Anniversary.

I would appreciate any comments regarding the rifle. In particular what should I do with the refinished 50s Springfield Stock. Should I strip it and bring it back to a traditional USGI RLO finish? It's hard to tell how strong the SA/JLG and CC are under the glossy finish.

Should I swap out the HRA and SA parts for IHC? The barrel is a 8-64 SA with a ME of 1+ and it is going to stay.

Was my purchase price high, low or just right?

Thanks in advance
