M1 Garand

elmer schwingen
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?

    MARK CERTAINLY IS ON THE MONEY, MOST #5 BARRELS WILL STILL SHOOT WELL ENOUGH FOR 'PLINKING' (4+" @ 100 YRDS) BUT MUZZEL COND. IS VERY IMPORTANT. A FRIEND PICKED UP AN INPORT M-1 WITH A REALY GOOD BARREL BUT THE MUZZEL WAS SO WORN FROM IMPROPER CLEANING THAT THE BEST 'GROUP' WE COULD GET WAS OVER 3' @100 YRDS.
