Has my Greek return got what's considered the "black" parkerizing?
It doesn't appear especially black (as in the photos posted above)- and it doesn't appear especially greeen, either.
Personally, I bought my Greek because it was in such fine shape compared to the beaters I was seeing- and because I could afford it, and wanted to shoot it.
Do I still want an original, period-correct USGI Garand, you betcha!
