 congratulations on the new member of the family! She looks great! I always wanted one myself :)

Of all the firearms I own, this is the one I've wanted for the longest time.  I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

Welcome to the Garand Owners Group.  Don't forget to "Grease the Weaser" to avoid light primer hits (white lithium grease stored in butt-stock that goes on Op Rod)!  And don't baby it when loading a clip.  Slap that bitch in the Op Rod so the extractor goes all of the way home!

Good luck on Sunday.  Wish I could be there with ya, but I got some NRA Board meeting bidness to take care of this weekend.  Lemme know if ya need some extra clips as I probably got more than I can use.
