usnmars 136 Posted January 19, 2014 Well the pink elephant strikes again..... I recently found a M1d Garand and I am a little bit of a Garand nerd so I kinda know my stuff. When I found it, the first thing I notice is the receiver is a IHC, so I ask if I can take the stock off and to my surprise I see the gun appears 100% IHC, oprod and all. So I then ask if I can remove the handguards to check the drawing number and sure as heck it has the proper 555. It came with an original M84, cheekpad and mount, unfortunately no flash hider. When I saw the price tag, I knew it was coming home with me. So for a price less than a M84, I got the whole package. Now I just need to send a letter to see if paperwork exists. I am definately tweaking a little bit right now. Pics will be loaded shortly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usnmars 136 Posted January 19, 2014 sorry for the crappy pics, I can never seem to get any good ones indoors. So with the bad lighting here are some preliminary ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

302w 83 Posted January 25, 2014 I'd kill for an IHC mixmaster, let alone a matching M1D. I'm a scout fan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
