Many got to meet
Many got to meet What a treat to meet the Garand Family

Many got to meet Richard Garand, J.C. Garands son. I over heard stories he was telling about living at Springfield as a boy. Talk about Garand History!

I had the pleasure of meeting him. I couldn't resist the chance to give Mr. Garand a CSP hat!

We will have More pictures as we get time...

 

Guys if you are not a member of GCA you owe it to yourself to join!

You are missing a wealth of information for any collector large collection or just beginning your collection. We had all of the heavy hitters in the Garand collection community gathered in one place. All willing to answer any question that would come to mind.

Next year the Convention will be in Reno! 

This is a challenge for all of you on the west coast to make a good showing. There will be collectors with nice collection at the gun show. Some will have hard to find parts for sale. This is a NO MISS... Bring the kids, wives and Mother-in-laws...

What better place to gather and talk about your favorite hobby!! M1 GARANDS
