First Garand. Impulse buy - how did I do?

[a_)gunslinger]

Got tired of waiting for a deal on Gunbroker that fit my wallet range. Considered CMP also. Found someone locally with one that was supposed to be CMP that was in my price range of about $800.

I got impulsive and bought it at $700. Came with 100 rounds of 30-06 and 10 en-bloc clips and some fancy after market gas adjustable tube cap.

What I think I know:
Has a Greek or Danish stock. Wish it matched color wise a little better but price was good (I think).
The CMP cert he had didn't match the gun but from my basic understanding all else seemed right, so no way to know if its really CMP.
Barrel pretty clean.
No P cartouche but serial on stock.

Think I did OK but would like you good people to be the judge of that Would also like to know of anything I could easily replace to improve it.
