Been thinking about possibly trading one of my Garands (I have 2) for a
1903 A3. While I don't have a deal lined up, I ve ben thinking that I really would like to add a '03 to my collection. CMP seems to be currently pretty much waiting for another shipment (not expected until 2010 at the earliest).
Not sure I want to wait that long. The Garand I might offer as a trade is a Dec '43 Danish return in very good condition.
Do you think I should attempt to find a willing partner to make a trade or just wait for the CMP? Should I consider this for a straight up even trade or should I ask for a small amount of cash also? I hate to part with it, but I also hate to wait for the next CMP offering. Also the descriptions of the last CMP 1903's was not encouraging.
What do you think? Would you do it?
