    Check out the markings on the parts; if Blue Sky on the barrel, walk away; get a 150 gr .30-06 springfield round and check to see if the barrel is shot out; work the action, should be smooth; check to see if the operating rod is not rubbing; if all checks out, offer $350 or so. Just left the gun and knife show in Nashville and M1 Garands in excellent condition were selling for $300 to $400 (some were priced tagged higher, but were not selling).

    If the receiver is marked "CAI", do not buy at any price.

    Think I'll head to Nashville and stock up ... $500 up here in Ohio is a good price for one in good condition. Think CMP is now over $400 for one.

    If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

    CMP prices now are as follows:

    Rack Grade $400.00 (barrel will need to be replaced soon, stocks not in such good shape)

    Service Grade $500.00 (good barrel and stock)

    I just received a Service Grade from the CMP. Good stock, no cracks, just a few dings that give it 'character.' Barrel nice and shiny, good lands and grooves all the way out to the muzzle.
