    Most sought after Garand?

    This topic has probably been beaten to death, which is one of the reasons hat I am posting this question here in ' Gun Talk '. But if you guys would be kind enough to humour me could you tell me which Garands you feel are the most collectable?

    Thanks,
    KTK

    My answer would be what I posted in a similar thread which is ongoing over on the M1icon forum. Check it out.

    I've got that one! The guy at the Baltimore show assured me that Audie had personally presented his father with it as a token of friendship. He had a couple of Hitlers PPK pistols too, but I had to make rent that month.

    I'm not picky, I'll gladly accept any of the 80 'Model-Shop' Garands.

    John, I wasn't referring to value being placed because of previous owners. I was reading the Big 5 thread but left off after a couple of posts as any Big 5 sporting goods store I've been in did not impress me with thier guns.

    I'm kind of wondering what to buy next, I have a Win. 13 and I like shooting it.

    Thanks,
    KTK
