7 April 2025 Gas Trap Garand Video of the Day - SN 5
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.

All of that is correct, in May I think. I'm looking forward to seeing what it sells for.

Number 5 was John Garand
's rifle that he kept in a safe. Notice the vertical cut behind the operating rod track - unknow why Garand made this cut. Art Tuttle sold the rifle to Pyle
long time ago. Tuttle worked with Garand during the war years.
Some speculation concerning the stock - from advanced collectors

According to the video number 5 was to be scrapped and JCG wanted so Art T. Built it back up for him - so it would not be surprising that it was not in its factory condition

That was also the way I understood the video to suggest, not as originally issued.
