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

I just purchased my first Springfield M1 Garand at a gun show. It is an arsenal rebuild and I probably paid too much for it. but it is a piece of history. The action is dated 1942 and the barrel is 1950. The stock on the riffle is UGHY Beach or Burch and needs to be replaced. My question is should I look for an old military stock w/proof marks and cartouches or just find one from Gunparts or Boyds? If someone knows where to find a military at a good price let me know? 0 -
It would be much easier to buy one. I recommend you get one through CMP. I would get a Service Grade. The condition varies but the condition varies but even the poorest SG is worth the money. The CMP purchase documention will make the rifle worth more. 0 -
