[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2676252, member: 7157"] The others have pretty much covered all the salient points of the purchase of a M1 Garand, and Luke makes a number of good points, so I really don't have much more to add. Just for the record, I am not a vendor of Garands! :D My collection ebbs and flows as the mood strikes me, though at this time I don't have any Garands I'd like to cull from the herd. The CMP route, as mentioned, is the way to go if you're willing to settle for a mixmaster rifle; if you want an all-correct rifle, buy from an established member of the CMP or Surplusrifle forums, or the Garand Collectors Association classifieds, and be prepared to shell out several times what a Service Grade mixmaster will cost. The Garands you see on Gunbroker are a crap shoot - some are honest, but some will have faked stock cartouches or even punch-marked barrels. Proceed with caution and an abundance of common sense if you go that route for an all-correct example. [/QUOTE]
