M1 Garand

[vesan87]

Who are all the M1 Garand people here? I just got mine a month ago and LOVE it! I've been shooting the surplus Greek ammo at Atterbury and it's great!

I love them too. I always enjoy the smell of the wood heating up after a few rounds. The look on people's faces when the clip pops out is pricesless too. More than once I've been told my gun just flew apart :-)

i really miss mine

Love my 7.62x51 NATO conversion as well. Even with my bifocal-clad old eyes and generic ball ammo it delivered sub-4" groups at 100 yds. Replacing the GI wood with a Fajen laminated set (close-out from Midway back when Fajen folded, $98 &change!) and a deal on a good lot of South African surplus ammo lopped more than an inch off my average groups, too.

Buy from the CMP first, AR-15's will likely be around longer. If you're worried just buy a stripped lower and a CMP Garand!

At this point, the only thing causing me to swerve to the AR is the price of ammo. If i found a good price for 5000 pieces of once fired military 30-06 brass, I'd send off the order form TOMORROW.

Its my next choice or another 1911 ........ I am thinking the M1 will win out in the end... But I can't get an itch till next year for anything, maybe a BB gun

Where did you get your sling? My sling doesn't look near as good as that leather one.

 

[SmileDocHill]

My '43 matching springfield Garand is the only gun I own that I can say with HIGH confidence I will never sell.

 

[Gillclaypot]

I have an H&R one it is a cmp gun. Works great with greek ammo.I got a can of it.

I understand, but though ammo may eventually get cheaper, the quantity of M1s will not increase. bite the bullet, so to speak, get a spam can with clips and you'll have good reloadable cases to start your ammo factory with. Go for it.!
