RE: what would you do?
gentleman..
it was a " spur of the moment " thing . i decided to still sell my A-bolt meallion to my father and keep my BAR.
but i will be selling my savage scout rifle. tookoff the VX-II 2-7X33mm and put a 1.5-6X32mm catseye on it. also will be selling my CZ VZ24mauser.
so in the long run i will still have my guns, just the ones i don't shoot as much or never shoot anymore.
just thought i would like to hear your thoughts.
briman..
the gas cylinder is tight the trigger assembly is fine. just the piting under the gun . the op rod is fine and the spring aswell. since i don't have any gunsmith's around me i either send it to 1shot_1kill or i have it sent out to the two places i stated before.
i will definatly be putting a new barrel on it.
just it will take me a few to get all the money. no biggy

RE: what would you do?
I sold some guns when I got married to take care of some other bills. Well I dont have the guns anymore and I dont have the WIFE ANYMORE keep your guns. Sve some money a little at a time to take care of the pet project. There will always be parts around for a M1 and ther will be good gun smiths around to do the work. BTW when my divorce came around I was a macaroni and cheese eating fool for a little while but I didnt sell any more guns LOL

RE: what would you do?
I know you really want to push this Garand project through, however, Ive always heard that you don't part with guns you already have obtained.
Be Patient! You'll NEVER be able to replace some of your guns after you get married.
