Now you have a real "thumb catcher" big time, have done that a few times over the years.

Now go out and get it dirty. A Garand does not deserve to sit in a glass case. It needs to be fired and fielded.

Nice looking service rifle you have there!

Love those Garands, Shot my first one in Basic at Ft Polk in 63. Carried one for awhile at Ft Huachuca , till they gave us M1 Carbines. Have one of each in my gun safe now .Still get them out and shoot .
