DONE WTB: M1 Garand

[Justin]

Looking for an M1 Garand.... don't need anything fancy just looking for a shooter.
I'm located in Livingston county but willing to travel out buffalo or syracuse way.

Thanks

Unless you find somebody senile enough not to know what they have, CMP is the best deal going for Garands. They're in good shape, have been gone over, and are good shooters. I got a Service Grade rifle a few months ago and have no regrets (besides not getting one when they were a few hundred dollars less).

If you take a ride out to Ohio, you can pick it out yourself.

There are more than one user on here that have posted their Garands from CMP. You are going to get the best bang for your buck. You are pretty much wasting money if you don't get an M-1 from CMP.

Question- if you go in person do you have to jump through the eligibility hoops?

@BDinPutnam

Yes

Thanks Gonz.

And if you do go in person, go before the matches start in July. Otherwise they'll be cleaned out.

Well this is true, with the assumption that you are looking for a shooter & are ok with luck of the draw through mail order.
I am at a point in my collection where I am looking for very specific types of M1 Garand.
My next will be a hand pick @ Ohio if i can swing the trip, or I will pay a bit more on the secondary market to get what I want.

The eligibility stuff isn't that bad. The hardest part is gathering the paperwork together.

Good to know, thanks. I didnt realize where they are (I thought more Cinncinati area)- they're right along the route we take to visit the inlaws in Michigan so no excuse not to side trip. Not sure when I will be going out that way again though.

Good idea to call first and check inventory before you make the trip , they are very helpful.

take a Project Appleseed course and you are eligible!
the Apple seed instructor can give you the form!

$40 bucks for a one day rifle workshop and you are good to go!
