Most of these rifles are more emotional items for those who acquire them. The decision to restore or not boils down to the owners prerogative. From there, desirability varies with the audience. There is, however, one constant in the universe: There will always be collectors who have little tact. You have a gorgeous rifle, looking very much like it did when it was issued to its first soldier. Display or shoot it with pride.

Thank You . After owning and shooting this rifle for a little bit. I woudl like to know, about different shops who work on Garands. This time I think I want to get ( or order) a Garandicon that was tunned as match shooter. Who does extreme accuracy work on Garands? I am really hooked!
