New "Baby" in the House

I just received a phone message from FedEx that they would be delivering a "Winchester Garand" NLT 10:30 tomorrow. There has to be someone over 21 years of age with a government ID to sign for the package. Only took about 3 weeks from the time that I sent in my paperwork. Now I've got to find myself some brass to reload. I've already checked out all of the places around here and nobody has 06 brass. I already have some Varget and a bunch of Sierra, Speer, and Hornady 168 grain bullets to load. I've got to find some IMR 4895. I'll use Doug's load using IMR 4895 and I have to find a load for the Varget. I already have a "Designated Trigger Puller" (JBPMidas) to help me sight in and find the right load for the rifle.

I know it's tough but somebody has to step up to the plate and you're available. I don't think Dot would volunteer.

Re: New "Baby" in the House

Just opened the box. It came with a CMP hardcase and is it "BEAUTIFUL". Looks like a new rifle. Muzzle reading is 1 and throat reading is 2 with a rifle grade of G3. WOW!!!!

Re: New "Baby" in the House

yea -- I saw some on the racks when 'Neck and I were over there on Oct 14th with new wood ... they looked good. Also, we looked at several with great barrels - SA 1955 or so ... did you get one of the SA barrels -- what date?

Looks great!!

CPT, you're gonna have to clue me in on where to look for SA markings on the barrel.

JBP - I just got through cleaning all the grease and other stuff off the rifle, cleaned the bore real good and it's ready to shoot. Don't know if I can get anything loaded tonight or not but I will try.

CPT - It has SA stamped on the barrel, a long number and then a 65 stamped by itself.

Re: New "Baby" in the House

Going Friday is much better for me. That gives me time to steal some of your brass and get a few rounds loaded. I got the Varget but I need to get some IMR 4895.
