I recently purchased this garand on Gunbroker from blaze2000 (aka Walsh Gun & Tackle in Caseville, Michigan). Unfortunately the seller did not disclose the weld that you see in the photo. I did not remove the rear guard during the 3-day inspection so shame on me. The rifle is mine, weld and all!

I'm looking for help and input.

Has anyone seen a small weld like this on a garand and do you know why it is done?

The rifle appears to be in very good condition otherwise with a clean sharp bore. I do not have a bore scope, so I can't inspect it from the inside.

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you.
Darrell (aka drharm)
