New "O-66" Garand

**kruffe** · 07-14-2016 03:28 AM

One of my Garands is marked "RRAD" on one of the receiver legs... and also "66" if my memory serves me correctly. The receiver is a 1943 Springfield. I purchased this Garand icon

in Germany icon

originally - how it ended up in Germany I do not know...

It is the Garand in the front (see picture).

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I picked up the "O-66" Garand icon

today, since the 10-day "cooling off period has elapsed.

It is in great shape. It almost looks like it was overhauled and then went into storage. The stock, bore, and parkerizing are in near perfect condition. There are a few very light rub marks on the stock and very few dents or dings.

The bore is "1-" on the CMP icon

muzzle gauge and the lands and grooves are shiny and sharp.

Everything feels tight and I'm looking forward to shooting this one.

I made a quick stop at the range because, as Albert Popwell famously stated, "I gots to know".

Only got in a few rounds to get it on paper @ 100 yards, then an 8 round clip of CMP icon

Creedmoor target ammo.
