Getting a rifle like this through luck of the draw does not help the addiction.... Early in the year I was holding onto hope of lucking out on an HRA to add to the goal of getting all the big producers... Well the Sticky seemed to do its job and then some!
When I saw the serial number on the estore I was pretty excited. Then the wait began..
Finally the day arrived and I ran out on my lunch break to pic the new addition up. Tossed the box in my car and headed over to the near by McDs for my "new Garand tradition" of a Big Mac fries and a Dr. Pepper. I make myself finish the meal before cracking open the case haha.
So the time arrived and I opened her up. Well she was just dang amazing. These post war rifles can be so pristine sometimes even with being stored and shipped all over the place.
Once I started digging into her I found that about the only thing I needed was an op Rod and a gas plug. Added those and now she looks complete.
The stock is what I really fell in love with. Probably one of the best looking in my group and the best stampings too. Color is dark and rich. Very minmal handling marks.
Not sure if people care about the HRAs much but this one is mine and I love it. Just wanted to share.
