.....I want to do is sound ungrateful or disappointed but I should be getting my two barreled receivers Monday. (one thumb for each) S/A #2855613 and S/A #565141. Both are supposed to have correct barrel dates. Do you know how difficult it will be trying to find all the correct parts for the six digit? The type I lockbar will likely kill me! The April of 44 will be much easier but still expensive. I know most of you will say just build them as shooters and be done with it but I wanted to build a correct Garandicon for my son Jeff for his great scholastic achievements this year. I was kind of hoping both would be post war Garands. I have all the parts and then some to build two correct post war Garands

I think I will go with the April of 44 and build it correct and the March of 42 as a shooter. Any ideas???
