An HONEST Military Arm Ad!

In yesterday's "Penny Saver" weekly paper was an ad: "M1 Garand Rifle $500.00." I called the phone number last evening and the gun owner answered my questions. He gave me the serial number and other descriptive information right down to the eagle with 3 stars over it stamped into the stock on the left side. (That is the Springfield Armory stock cartouche for a Match Rifle.)

I drove the 10 miles round trip and indeed found a National Match Garand in Perfect condition with a 5,xxx,xxx serial number. Yes, let the buyer beware indeed. Today at the range the rifle shot like a match rifle I shot in years gone by. See, it pays to ask questions and run out all ads.
