I'm going to swing by CMP on my next trip thru Alabama and pick up one of these two. I want your help deciding which to get - knowing I may wind up picking the other up at some point this year. My current rifle collection includes an AR, 3 AK's, and an SKS.
I know the supply of Garands is dwindling. I also know the Carbines will be available by the time I go to Bama. I don't really need a long-range rifle - I buy guns for their defensive purpose and their aesthetics.
My head says "Get the Garand, fool! They won't be there much longer." But my heart says, "Matt, you held that carbine the other day and it was like caressing a beautiful woman."
So... I'm interested in your opinions. I mean, aside from the fact that I'm a very sick man.
