Notes from the gun shop...

Had a guy bring two Garands into the shop today. The best one was a gun that the CMP would sell for about $475. He wanted $800. The other was one of the Blue Sky Garands. If it was a reweld (as is often said) I couldn't tell it in the limited time I had to look (other customers). It was even rattier than the other gun. The first gun had a 5XX,XXX serial and the Blue Sky a 6XX,XXX serial. I'm sure they've been around the block.
