Mark Christian
Anybody know what happened to him? I haven't seen him post for a good while. He's really knowledgeable.

Sir, You seem to be the resident expert on the m1 garand. I got a Winchester M1 at an estate sale ser # 1499xx, bolt isD 28287-1WRA, OPRod is D 35382WRA, Hammer is D 45008-1WRA, Trigger housing is
D 28290WRA, rear sight is lockbar type, receiver group is marked D28291-2, the wood is in perfect shape (dark) with a VERY light SA mark on the left side and a P on the bottom. The bbl is SA 6535448
9 66 BU 34, The trigger guard is unmarked. The receiver group, stock group and trigger group fit together very well. Other than the stock and bbl, can you tell how close to original this is? What else do I need to look for? Could be somone started a restoration and lost interest? Thank you for any information you can provide.0 -

For many of the regulars on this forum, this will be very good news and a pleasant surprise... during this past weekend at the Big Reno gun show, I asked Mark (who is a personal friend of mine) to please consider returning to GunBroker's Ask The Experts forum, and he graciously agreed to do so.
As many of you know, he is an extremely knowledgable firearms collector, and he can answer any and all questions concerning the M1 and several other military issue firearms. Mark is also very well versed in the current firearms regulations and laws, and is one heck of a nice man... I count myself lucky to be in his company, and I am extremely pleased to have him back. I am also positively sure that there are a large number of you who feel the same way.
For the very small number of you who do not agree with me, pay very close attention to what I am about to say!... I will not tolerate any personal attacks what-so-ever. Those who choose to ignore this warning will be dealt with very swiftly, and with no additional warnings or chances. All offensive posts will be deleted, and the offender will have his/her user account permanently locked.
Welcome back Mark[^]
I would expect; as a gentleman; you would extend that courtesy to everyone.
I did not ever have the pleasure of partaking of Marks' knowledge but I look forward to it with great anticipation.0 -
Hah! Never say never Mark![:)]
Robin says to stop by for dinner on your way back!0 -
Looking forward to your knowledgable comments and opinions again Mark!!
You've been missed!

Yes, I do, but I will be especially diligent as it relates to Mark, as he was personally attacked on more than one occasion in the past. I do not read more that about 50% of the daily posts, so if anyone has a complaint, please send me a PM.0 -
Welcome back Mark, you have been missed 0 -

Welcome back Mark-you have been missed!!!
Excellent job Bert!0 -
To Mark C: Welcome back! I've been a "lurker" since this forum started, and a participant since Aug '06. Whenever I've had a Garand question, in your absence, it was usually answered by digging up the archives..and most all of the time, you're input was what satisfied my query.
Best, Joe0 -
Good to hear ,Welcome back Mark.[^] 0 -
You'll be able to fill in for nononsense when he's too busy to respond to us yokels needing gun information.
I appreciate the conversations we've had and cbxjeff and I were glad to gab with you at the GB booth at the S.H.O.T. Show a while back.
Glad you're back!0 -
