Sure. The top one is a Springfield built in 1945 and the bottom is H&R built in 1954.

Very nice. Just received rifle number two yesterday. SA April 1945. Sorry no pics, she needs a good cleaning first.

Default Service Grade Special
My first Garand was one of the Service Grade Specials (refurbished by the CMP). They are essentially a new rifle on a new stock when the smiths get done...
