My garand was purchased from long time (several decades since childhood) friend who was suffering from a terminal disease in 2011. Wrote him a check for 900 dollars that he was asking for service grade M1 he purchased from DCM. He and I shot the rifle many times before he passed, and now those memories are permanently attached to this Special Garand.
