I got my DCM garand in 81 or 82, somewhere about that time period. It was $112.70 then.
I got it on a Thursday, and was leaving Friday for a HP match in Hawaii. I figured WTH, so I took it, My first round out of it was the sighters at 200 yards standing. Did pretty well.
It still shoots great even considered the thousands of rounds I fried out of it. I shot it in a 1000 yard match earlier this summer. Did OK.
