Some older members will remember JohnR now passed on, he was one of the inspectors working on these rifles in Vancouver.
I read that the Danish Garands were shipped to the CMPicon without their bolts. Is there any truth to this statement? Or was what I read actually referring to the Danish rifles shipped to Canada, similar to how you mentioned that they were shipped in bits and pieces?
