reason i am asking is a saw a nice M1 garand for $850.00. looked like a real good one. made in 1943 barrel done over in 1952. looking at the crown looked fine but i did notice that the M1 kinda had marks like you would see from copper fouling on the rifling closests to the muzzle.
trying to figure out if it is worth the $850.00 but besides that matching #' s as far as i can see and the wood is from the same gun no mis-matches.
