Nice gun, nice pic. I did that a few years back. I'd found a Garand at a gun show for $250. Just a shooter, no numbers matched or anything, but it was in gorgeous shape. I kept it for a while and enjoyed the heck out fo it. They shoot well, y'know. Well, a very good friend of mine came back from the military to finish his history and fell in love with it. Military history being his thing and WWII being one of his areas, I understood why. I eventually sold it to him for what I paid for it, knowing that I could've gotten more. Much like your friend said, it's still int he family.
