Sorry guys, been watching tube with the Boss. Each manufacturer of Garands(There were four; Springfield Armory, Winchester, Harrington&Richardson and, International Harvester) had specific Blocks of Serial Numbers to use, For example; HRA had a block of numbers from 4.6 million to 6.034million. Mine was built in early(Jan/Feb.) 1956.

Any Garand with a S/N below 3.888 million was built during WWII. This would be either a SA(Springfield Armory) or a Winchester.

Can't believe I did not see this post! Beautiful wood on that one, Dave.

How does it shoot?

Very nice! Is this the same one as in the original post?

[Dave Waits]

Yeah, I finished and fitted a Walnut stockset and threw a sling on it.

Looks great!
