Thanks guys. As for gun shows here, who knows, Covid is pretty well shooting all the plans down.

we usually have one around dividend time, October, but they gave them out early this year in July, so who knows.

I am only looking for a Field Grade Garand. I would like to get one as close to have seen combat as possible, but not sure if that calls for more $$ there's a lot of re stocked and very nice ones for the 1500-2500 range, which is more than id like to spend.

CMP shows some field grade ones for $650, so we will see.

I will also try the bronze brush and see if its finish wear
