SA Former Danish Garand 2811016

Hi all US members
Long shot here.
When I Was in the Danish Army 1980
I have SA Garand 2811016.
At that time she was a very good shooter.
I scored a silver shooting batch two times
Both times only one point from gold.
Allmost all Danish US build Garands were sent
Back to USA in 1990s.
So it could be fun to hear news from my old friend.
So if any out there many have bought her at CMP?
And maybe still ovn her?

Today I own toe Garands my self:
A IHC 1954 gab letter in good condition
A SA sep 42 former Danish one who escaped the
Return ticket too USA
Also in werry good condition with most original
Parts still there but with a Danish VAR barrel

Here's a link for search and your rifle shows up. USRifleCAL30M1.com


Reads " SA 2811016 Private Owner local gun shop Very clean rifle. Danish VAR barrel dated 8-66. TE gauges less than 2. Very tight and accurate for an "as issued" rifle"

But, it doesn't say a name of who the owner is of course.

Tank you
Nice to know she’s still alive ???

In my time it has the original barrel dated 5.44
It had some pitting but was still a good shooter

Pitted barrels to an armorer can be a death knell. Most will change that barrel. Our direction certainly was to do that.

I was in Cyprus in '75 and saw the Danes carrying the M1 rifles there. I remember wanting to go have a look at them...

Nice ?
I was in Cyprus in 83-84
At that time we have HK G3 rifles
