Good evening,
I'm 37, from Oklahoma with a wife and 2 boys. I spent 6 years with the 45th Infantry from 2001-2007. We enjoy the outdoors, working on old cars, guns, vintage watches and about anything mechanical.
I received an IHC Garand today from my Father-in-law after his recent passing. He was a great man, a Marine, and a retired Army First Sargent, and a Past Master of the local Masonic Lodge. I can't say enough good things about him, we got along very well.
My wife received a US 1917 Eddystone, and I got a Garand. As such, we plan to keep them and pass them on as he did. But, I think you all can help me verify if things look correct.
I've done some googling and reading, and I think everything that should be marked IHC, is. And the barrel is marked LMR. Beyond that, I dont know if the numbers on the receiver and trigger group should match, etc.
Forgive the lint and dust, he's probably owned it 40 years or more.
Thanks,
Curtis
