Military Classic

I picked up this beauty yesterday... it's a '54 Springfield M1 Garand. Based on serial, part no's and date stamps it's likely still the original receiver barrel combo. The crown is perfect and the muzzle gauges a 0 on the CMP gauge. Since it was produced after the wars it probably didn't see much use. Based on the cartouche sizes and fonts it looks to be an H&R stock but for the correct year. The wood is in very nice condition with some character.

Excellent!

I love the Garands.

Beautiful! You have me interested. I hate to ask but how much?

Nice. I don't hate to do it... tell us what that puppy cost.

You lucky [insert appropriate verbage here]. That's a nice gun. Good find.

Careful - that is an evil semiautomatic assault rifle. It gets up and walks around your house at night looking to create mischief.

Beautiful rifle!

Congratulations the Garand is a thing of beauty and a joy to shoot, enjoy.

Brings back some memories !

ha ha, had to edit as I just noticed the shoe ... welcome to the amateur photographers club !

I paid $850.

It did wear a bayonet a few times as the lug definitely shows signs of use. :xpb_thumbsup:

I'm very careful not to feed it after midnight. ;)

LOL

Yeah, I tried not to get it in, and it wasn't in frame but ended up there anyway.

Excellent rifle. You just can't go wrong with a Garand in the safe.

SWEET! :hand10:

Now cut that out! Y'all are going to make me call the CMP and spend money I don't have. :lol:

(nice rifle!)
