Hi Everyone. I'm still around and contribute once in a while. Been a member of CSP since the early days 1994 I think. Been a long time, but as Bodyman said we learned a lot from the early M1 collectors. I hope we can continue to learn about the M1 Garand. I still pick up tidbits now and than. I served in the US Army in the early 50's. I was with the 1st AD and we had the big gun 90mm. Only time I saw the Garand was in Fort Dix basic training. It came back to me in 1993 from the DCM as a 1944 Springfield. I still have that sucker along with many playmates.
I hope you enjoy the new CSP and the many friends you can make doing it.
