I think I scored a Lend Lease Garand!!
Hi guys. I was travelling thru CT this weekend. Stopped at a few shops. In a large shop in
East Windsor I found this. It appears to be an original Lend Lease. Long channell stock,
TE less than 3, ME less than 1. The pics show the rest. I think it is worth 1700 to 2200.
What do you guys think?
Thanks for all opinions.

I think it is worth more than that. It is very nice! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Worth it and do not get hung up on the stock as when they came into the country they were taken apart and cleaned. many long and short channeled stocks ended up on the wrong rifles. Also the large and small cannons will be found on both channels. No such thing as large first and small later. I have proven this time and time again over the last 14 years. Rick B

Thanks guys Rick, I have a question for you. It looks like the stock was sanded before
the varnish or whatever shiny finish was applied. The large cross cannon is very faint. Should
I leave it alone or remove the finish? If remove, what would you recommemd? In any
case I am very happy as I got a good deal. There are still bargains out there!

Yours looks just like mine, #398,688, but my BNP markings are over the chamber area in the op-rod cut not on the front of the bbl. You did good. I found mine in a hardware store in Memphis, TN in the 70's.

By the way I only use the Jasco stripper when it is a nasty or finish like yours. On oiled stocks I use grit-less Go Jo hand cleaner or equivalent. Rick B
