Hey All....
Slowly thinking about buying one of these....but I have a few questions.
NO!!! NO to the M14, YES to the M1 Garand.
Yes I know about the CMP Program. Do I order from them and have it shipped to a FFL Dealer here or has anyone gone to one of the two stores they own and obtained the rifle from them?

I would like a nice, clean, shooter model. Are parts and especially barrels available...if so from whom?? Who in Oklahoma could work on one when it's broken???
Any makers to look for or stay away from? I'm not into a specific maker from WWII or should I look for a WWII model. WWII....will they have or how do you know if all the parts are original(except the barrel)??
Arsenal rebuild....who's good and who to stay away from?
Mixed parts okay?? I've seen quite a few with wood furniture replaced or different shades of color. Clips plentiful for loading ammo into the gun(that work)??
Any good books , websites, people, or gun stores to visit or call??
Stay away from this purchase? *** I'm in NO hurry and want to be as knowledgeable as possible BEFORE my purchase***
Any and all help is appreciated!!!
Thanks!!
