Yes, I am still pissed at myself.
A few years ago Springfield purchased a warehouse full of Garand parts in Italy. They assembled a bunch of brand new rifles in 308 and 30-06 from those vintage parts. At least one of them came into our local Sportsman's Whse for (I think) about $600.
And I failed to bring one home.
after the war my understanding is that winchester's equipment was shipped to italy. I do know P beretta was the contractor rebuilding garands etc for the danes, and probably others.
