He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Actually you could not really put a price tag on that such is it's provenance hopefully it might be put on display if it already isn't I place the USA

The rifle number...is one million. The rifle was purchased from Garand's family when he died by NRA president Alan Cors and was in his collection. As far as I know still...
Here's the last sale listed for it. https://www.rockislandauction.com/de...ation-m1garand
