    Regarding gold as an investment: keep in mind that when you sell there is a 28% tax on the capital gain. All dealers in gold are required to report purchases in excess of (I think) $500. Something...

    I had the J&J vax yesterday, 4/10/21. I'll check back in two weeks when blood clots have been (rarely) reported. So far,so good. Shoulder isn't even sore.

    A repair isn't going to fool anybody, least of all you. Live with what you have until you can find original or reasonable facsimile replacements.

    Ye Old Hunter was the mail order name for Potomac Arms, 0 Prince Street, Alexandria, VA. The coolest gun shop I've ever seen; an entire warehouse full of milsurps. Next door to Interarms.

    Robin Williams had been diagnosed with Parkinson's and early onset dementia. He was a fanatic cyclist and I can't imagine how the prospect of not being able to ride his bikes affected him.

    If you buy it, go to the Garand section of the CMP forum and see if you can contact Rick Borecky. He goes by RickB and StockDoc and is a wizard at stock repair.

    Block off the vents and install a dehumidifier. Amazing how much water it sucks out of the air; I am on my second one in 20 years. I own more than 100 firearms and it works.
