Extra Op rod for Rachel
Found a decent deal on a backup op rod for the Garand, can't have too many spare parts around.

The original M1 Garands had a problem breaking operating rod, they solved the breakage by installing a radius at the point of breakage. |

Know what will happen now? Because you have the spare op-rod, it will never break.
Some other part that you don't have will be the one that gives up the ghost. Murphy's Law.

Always try and find an NM marked rod for shooting. They are the BEST OP rod of any of the series.
