    Been a year or so since we've had a date. If it ever quits raining around here we might make a run to the range.

    That is true from what I researched. However, if your model isn't adding one to it would constitute a non original alteration.

    The wood on that Garand is beautiful. Did it come that way or did you do some refinishing?

    Good eye! Very close: It is a Remington 580, which is a single-shot only compared to your magazine-fed 581. As an aside, I was just looking up Remington 580 and 581s and found out this 580 was made in 1967. There are tiny coded date stamps on the barrel near the receiver. You can look yours up here to see when yours was made:

    http://www.varminter.com/forums/topi...s/page__st__15

    Notes: Derived from the earlier Model 540, the Model 580 was a rimfire rifle produced from 1967-78. The stock was made from plain hardwood and used a low Monte Carlo comb. The fore-end was rounded and large, as was the pistol grip wrist, leading to excellent handling. The trigger guard was large enough to put a gloved finger into it. They had spring-leaf and elevator rear sights, and were also equipped with a rail atop the receiver for telescopic sight mounts. The standard Model 580 had a 24-inch barrel and fired .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle ammunition interchangeably.

    Variants included the Model 580BR Boy’s Rifle, which had a slightly shorter stock and was produced from 1971-78. The Model 581 was a magazine-fed version of the Model 580; a left-handed version was also built, in rather small numbers. It too could interchangeably fire .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, but all the cartridges in the magazine had to be of the same type of ammunition to prevent feed problems. It was produced alongside the Model 580 and outlasted it, built until 1983. The Model 581S is externally almost identical to the Model 581, but uses a smaller 5-round magazine, a hardwood stock finished to look like walnut, and a tapering fore-end. The Model 582 is a Model 580 fed by a full-length tubular magazine, produced from 1967-83. The Model 591 was a short-lived variation; it was chambered for the unusual 5mm Remington Magnum Rimfire cartridge and had plastic cap on the deep pistol grip wrist. The Model 592 was a tubular magazine-fed version of the Model 591.
    The Springfield Armory Garand is all original. According to the serial number, it was manufactured in the late 50s.

    Hope Stainless Steel counts

    That's a Model 66. Actually a 66-1 IIRC. Model 19 would be the blued steel / nickel plated version.

    Thanks. I figured it had its own model number but was too lazy to look it up before posting.

    Here's my 19-4:

    I got one of those JC higgins tube-fed bolt action 16ga guns last week. bolts slick as a nice rifle and trigger is very nice VS the standard bolt action shotgun crap.

    I like how it's ported AND has the C-Lect choke.
    whad you pay?? $50?

    It cost free 'cuz I got it in a pile of other stuff that I sold/traded. I'd buy one of the 12 gauge jc higgins with the tube mag, seems like a good candidate for an 18" barrel

    kicks like a bitch BTW

    Yeah, I can't recall at the moment if they only made 250 or 350 of them but they are for sure scarce and if you can find one for sale/auction the prices are getting up there. Won't say I'd never sell it but it would be one of the last I'd let go of.
