new garand

[dou44]

i ordered it from cmp,it took 65 day to get it after they recieved the order for it and 600 rounds of ammo.i ask for a low sn and original stock.rifle is a 43 springfield service grade made in 1943.i got lucky with it because it is one that was sent to the marines in GUAM. the sn is on a list of rifles shiped there. it also has the 0-66 on it showing it was reworked by the marines.it has all correct parts except the new var barrel  installed by cmp.i also got a ww2 ammo can in with my order of ammo

i shot it at the range today using 1945 dated ammo from canada.i think it will shot better than what i can get out of it at 100 yards.my eyes are not what they were afew years ago.

[TN Outlaw]

Awesome gun!! i hope to get one some day!

[G27]

So jealous, congrats!

[Mike.357]

love them things.   Makes me feel like Cage on the old TV show Combat when I shoot mine.  Which reminds me that it needs to go to the range soon.

 

You got a nice looking US Rifle Caliber 30 M1 on your hands.

[Mike.357]

So jealous, congrats!

If you ever order from Southern Ohio Gun, they have some 30.06 ammo surplus, 270 rounds for 159.99 plus shipping. I think its M2 ball. Nice gun by the way.
