Always wanted a Garand and this one fell in my lap last weekend. Have been doing lots of research since then and it seems that everything is there and that it functions correctly, but have not shot it yet.
I did disassemble the rifle and took lots of pictures. Am attaching them to get some feedback on what I have and next steps in my Garand journey.
There are no pictures of the stock as it has been re-finished "big ugly swirl marks from a disc sander" and there are no visible cartouche markings on it. Sad, but true.
Glad to be here!

ADDED: I should note that from what I could find, the revision levels after the drawing numbers on the parts and assemblies seem correct for the date the rifle was built except for the Winchester operating rod.
