A few of my Garands in a new display

[Pappy1600]

I have been collecting military arms for many years and have such a found love of these classic rifles, I was asked by a local Boy Scout camp to come by this summer to educate our youth on the history of these great rifles, I was in need of a display stand and found this one on Ebay, a little OD green paint and added some felt to the saddles and it's good to go.

Nice looking collection, maybe you could outline them a bit for us? Bit of an expose' perhaps?

Would the SA M1D be a 8xx,xxx or 9xx,xxx by chance? The 1928A1, what serial range on that, ballpark?

Was thinking of parting with one of my remaining Garands, yours are beautiful group of gems, thanks for sharing.

I like the Garand in birch...they seem kinda underappreciated to me. As I've so often told people, the average Garand's service life goes far beyond a few years in the early 1940s.

I really enjoy some of the flaming on some of these Birch stocks myself, I have a few M-14 clones I built as well that have great looking wood. I am looking for a correct Winchester stock for that Win-13 but not crazy about those prices out there for a correct one, so this birch stock works just fine with me for the time being, it's a work in progress, have been searching for a nice matching rear hand guard for sometime now that has some flaming in the wood but no luck, if anyone has one they care to part with I would appreciate it. And also a correct Winchester rear sight assembly as well.

if anyone has one they care to part with

Have you tried a WTB here in that forum? These guys have lots of stuff in their pockets they'll part with...
