m1 garand
 

i plan on buying a Weatherby Vanguard for hunting very soon. I recently got to shoot an m1 garand and had a lot of fun with it. anyone have any idea what an M1 garand will cost new or used? The Vanguard will come first, but im just wondering for a little while down the road.

RE: m1 garand
 

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.

DH, the M-1 is only good for 4 hrs!

[&:]what???? .... i'm confused.

would you be so kind as to explain??? just wondering.

Yep! After you have carried it from 7:00am to 11:00am, you will want to
toss it in the first water hole you come to.;)

Take the CMP course and be eligible...

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.
