Just got a field grade M1 from the CMP for $375 + 20.95 shipping. Rack grades are $325+ shipping. There are higher priced grades also but rack and field grades are what you may want if you aren't a "collector" or military style high power shooter.These grades are the shooters for us guys that don't fall into those catagories.I just enjoy owning and shooting a real USGIbattle rifle.CMP is the only way to go for a genuine M1 Garand.
