To Gus and SOCOM, thanks for some great history.
I have always loved my 'Navy' and it's great to know more about how she came to be.

And BDH, if you ever decide to get rid of that AMF drop me a line! Beautiful rifle.

The garands NAD Crane (NSWSC) sent us came direct from guam, they must have been crated at the end of the war and never opened till we got them.

Neat info, thank you for providing it. Wow, two 55 gal drums of 36 pattern parts.
