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 -
Wide open question. You have to look at how original the rifle is. Invest in Poyer's book on M1's and go through the rifle with a fine tooth comb to confirm parts proper for the serial number. If it's all original it is probably going to bring $1200-$1650 depending how your definition of "excellent" is interpreted. If it is an IHC with a mixmatch of parts and an IHC stock I'd say you could look at $700-$850...less if it doesn't have an IHC stock.Beach 0
