I have one of those too (post Korea) with a '43 '03A3 & a Dec '18 M1917 that is dead on with it's like new original to it barrel.
Theres a place out here on LI that sells Garands. Ive always like those but I need something lighter. Especially now since my necks so screwed up. Its hard to hold the rifle up due to muscle loss in my arm. Same with shooting a 12ga. We shoot at a private sand pit at a nursery. Ive been going there since I was 19. Used to go down there and shoot everything from clays to old propane tanks and gallon water jugs. Lots of fun. I usually bring my favorite shotgun. A Winchester Defender. Years ago I could shoot all day. Not a box or two and Im done. Then we switch to .22s. My daughter has a blast. LOL
