Hi all;Another Garand newby reporting Sir!I guess being a newby I get to ask a couple of stupid question's so here goes;I have an S/A with serial # 2613***.Anyone know when it was made?Also,many year's ago I had heard about welded receiver's on some M1's,how can you tell if you have one?Barrel is dated 5/60,but there is no import mark on the barrel.Would this still be an imported one?The rest is probably a mix master of part's.That's OK with me,as it is in very good condition.It's a real Garand and I'm in Love!!Any help with my question's would be really great....Thank's.....
