One can pick up a M1 Garand from a CMP or DCM program for about $600 or so. New ones made by Springfield Armory will cost around $1600.
i haven't checked on the cmp price in a while but that sounds about right. i did look at a springfield m1 monday and it was like $1400 without tax. i like the rifles but for the price i would about rather have an m1a national match.
