I just read an unusual story in my NRA Magazine. Virgil Richardson served in the Korean War from1952 to 1953 as a radio operator and he remembers the serial number of his M1 Garand. It was 1222xxx. He has wanted it all these years since getting out of the army and his son decided 56 years later to get him one for his birthday. He called an arms broker in Kentucky and that guy had one. When he got it, surprise it was the very one that his Father had carried in Korea. Has never been rebuilt, but had some minor woodwork and sight repair done on it. What are the odds of that happening?
