M1 Garand

Geri
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?

    Lots of companies have made after market garand parts. We need to know markings.

    I have an aftermarket stereo in my car. When was it made and by who?

    See how vague that is? [;)]

    Way back in the 1960s, National Ordnance made cast copies of Springfield and Garand receivers and assembled them into rifles with surplus or new parts. It is not a USGI rifle.

    I believe that they were assembled in El Monte, California.

    Quality is not good, resale price reflects that.
