I would reccomend buying one from cmp. If you have a CMP affilated club near you the shooting is fun and the price for an M-1 is much lower than what you are looking at.
What to look for in purchasing an M1 Garand
Hello,
Some friends of mine found a new shop around here that we weren't aware of. Apparently they have an M1 Garand. I'm going to look at it tomorrow afternoon and possibly purchase it. I believe he's asking $670. In that price range what should i be looking for? What kind identifiers, serial number range, etc. Just trying to get pointed in the right direction. Also he has a Colt 1911 stainless which is used and he's asking $670 for it also, what would you go with (no bias here right
thanks.
