While the M-1 Garand was being phased out to be replaced by the M-14 in the early 1960's, Army enlisted men undergoing discharge from service were being offered purchase their issues M-1 Garand for personal use. Usually it was the latest edition - H&R contract.

I was given the same deal -- $63 for my H&R M-1 Garand, which was NIB when I received it and lightly used afterward.

I refused the deal...... :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Well I did some real gomer stuff when I was younger.

Quite often the best/hardest lessons learned are those we only have to learn ONCE unless we are already dumber than a box a rocks.
