I wouldn't give $$150 for a garand,if I had to KEEP it. only real use for one would be knocking holes in transformers, water towers, pipelines, etc, and the steel cored .30 ak ammo will do such things well enough. So why pay more for for a larger,heavier gun, with more expensive ammo, with no night sights avaialbe for it, only a joke of a scope mount, no threaded muzzle to mount a can with, no ccw of the disassembled gun, etc? Just another obsolete old clunker, at a ridiculous price.
