New Arrival

[Tgriffin]

I ventured down to Camp Perry last week to check out what they had to offer and came home with my first M1 Garand. I found it in the rack grades but it really didn't belong there. It's a 1943 Springfield, re-barreled in 1947. The bore is a 1 and the throat is a 3.5. It has a walnut stock in good condition with a small crack in the rear hand guard. The finish on the metal parts is even and there is no rust or pitting. It was well cared for by someone. I wiped the stock down with oil but other than that, this is how it came from the CMP. It was the best $445 I ever spent and I can't wait to shoot it.

NIce find Griff,
There was nothing even close to that condition at Perry when I was there in July.
Best of luck,
Guido

Guido,

Most of them were no where near this good. I found this one when I first started working my way through the racks and it was the only one I put on hold. If I hadn't found it I'm not sure I would have gone home with one.

I may be going back again with my son. Hopefully I'll get lucky a second time.
