Japanese T5 Garand
At the Pheonix Gun Show last weekend I had the privledge of seeing and handling this Japanese copy of our M1 Garand. The basic difference in the Japanese copy with the original is instead of and 8 round encloc clip the Japanese Used a box magazine that is loaded with two 5 round stripper clips. Also the rear sight is of the ladder disign with the slide gut there is adjustment for windage. This was a like new rifle. To say I desire it is a serious understatement. riceone.

That is something to see
Riceone, what is this rifle worth do you think? I would imagine there are very few to collect.
Multi thousand dollar rifle
I understand that these rifles are worth many thousands of dollars. There are very few in existance so there is keen competition between (rich) collectors to own one.
