M1 Garand
I just got a correct grade M1 from CMP. I don't know a whole lot about them, I field stripped it and cleaned it by using the instructions included. Everything looks great. I was wondering though, the instruction say I should have it looked over by an experienced gunsmith before firing. Is this just a c.y.a. statement, aren't these rifles headspaced and test fired? Thanks, John

hey guys, help me out here, i have two local gunshops in town that are both selling springfield m1,s in 308, they both claim to only have one each, and both are unfired. one has a 1499.00 price tag, and the other has 1599.00 on it. since i am looking to buy one, i was wondering about the price. they say all parts are springfield except for the top over barrel, it seems to be a tan color plastic. any ideas on this being a good purchase for a shooter and future collectable? 0 -
They are all the same. 0 -
The M1 bayonet & M7 sheath were adopted in February 1943: 
But, the earlier M1905 & 1905/42 were still being issued, with M1910 & M3 sheath, along with the 1905E1 (cut to 10") & M3A1 sheath (cut down from M3).

EDIT: They were produced by the world famous cutlery manufacturer, "UNKNOWN". Bought from CMP in 2010 for $65.0 -
