[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4009920, member: 45773"] A guy came into my shop around 2005-ish and asked me to consign his father's guns. He said there were "maybe a hundred". I went over with a friend to inventory everything and just about had a stroke. Dad had over 300 M1 rifles and a sizeable number (maybe a couple dozen) of other CMP guns like carbines, 1917s, 1903s, etc.. Then the kid took me outside to the 40' container that was lined with shelves all around the interior walls. There were 10s of thousands of various parts and pieces to all of the US martial arms, I'm pretty sure. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Going thru the Garands we found two with consecutive serial numbers. I think they were HRA rifles. I sold that pair for $5800 and that was almost 20 years ago. I sold this kid's guns a little at a time for almost 4 years. I don't even remember how much $$ they brought in...to him or me. But it was substantial. I don't know what he did with all the parts. I just wasn't equipped to handle that much. Those two right there are the only other consecutively numbered Garands I've ever seen. How did you come by those? [/QUOTE]
