I will have to admit I was very lucky, (karma, stars aligned & all that) but I think if you keep an eye on the Dunham's stores in Kokomo, Muncie & Bedford you might get lucky if you don't mind a WASR. I travel around some from time to time with some work that I do, and I always check out these stores. I remember the one on the eastside of Indy years ago always seemed to have Garand's for good prices. I won't even go into what I should have doneI'm looking for my first to buy think I'm going to wait for price drop
