Good trade.
As a General purpose round, the 30-06 is much better than the 5.56. You can load a 30-06 light enough to shoot a squirrel, or heavy enough to take down a black bear/ elk reliably. (I would want a heavier bullet than a Garand can handle for grizzly) In my opinion, the Garand is the best semi auto made in 30-06. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don't get the Garand obsession. If it can't hold 1MOA, it belongs in the trashcan along with the ak junk. Hahaha. I've been through over 300 30 rounds in my M1 without a single malfunction and it was shooting groups almost indistinguishable from my AR's shot groups Remington 870 with 00 buck. I have had chronic problems with my rear sight loosening up. I have had frequent issues with misfires from multiple batches of ammo. The metal looked like it had never been fired, but the stock it came in was a CMP boyds birch that was looser than Sasha Gray after an anal gangbang shoot. I'm on the fence about whether to sell it or eventually replace the stock with one from Dean's Gun Restorations. While it will never be as good as a rack grade tier 1 AR, and sure as hell will never be as good as a white oak no matter how much money you sink into it, I should be able to do better than 5 MOA with ammo that my dad's M1 will shoot 2 MOA.  |

Ha, I scored my M1 in a trade. I traded an Olympic PCR 20" rifle on a RRA lower, all stock A2 stuff for a Winchester Dane VAR barreled M1 AND a nice 1945 SMLE No4Mk1. I think I scored amazingly in that deal.

the M1 gave our troops the single biggest advantage of any ground army during WWII. no other military had a rifle that was STANDARD ISSUE to a normal GI that could put lead downrange as fast or as precise. it was most definitely a major contributing factor as to why we won the war. take pride in owning a rifle like that, and ignore the negativity posted by some here.
for what its worth, I have a CMP M1 made by Springfield in 1955. 100% USGI. I take it to the range, and it doesn't matter if someone is there shooting a piece of crap gun, or the latest and greatest, they ALWAYS drop their jaw and stare when I shoot it. Many want to fondle it, and many can't stop looking at it. A rifle whose overall design dates to the 1930s, still impressing people like that. That says something if a range full of people stop what they are doing when I take it out of its case and load up a clip. And they don't stop looking until the clip flies out and the *PING* is heard. No hate on the AR's, hell it's what I used in the military and I am building one now. But I predict in 50+ years, AR's of today won't get near the attention an M1 will still get. Just something special and mystical about it. Be proud to own it, buy ammo from CMP, and have fun. If you have to get some commercial ammo every now and then to hold you over until the CMP stuff arrives, I advise getting THIS so you don't bend your op rod. |

There is nothing wrong with the Schuster but the folks over at the CMP website forum make a compelling case based on ease of use for the one from Garand gear. But set up an account at the CMP and buy the surplus ammo they sell as well since your gun was made to use that stuff. The CMP can look at their records and find out if your Garand is one of theirs and I recommend you pay the couple of dollars and do that that. Congrats! The dates you're posting look good. That makes me want to try to confirm it as a CMP rifle even more. |

Fair straight-up trade but that's about it.
My main intrest is C&R mil-surps and I own a Garand....More to have a nice example for my collection than anything else. There are a lot of down-sides to a Garand and I never recommend a Garand for a first mil-surp but it's a piece of American history that can't be ignored. I would not go searching for another Garand. I've bought a few on the cheap since and sold them to finance other C&R mil-surps I enjoy more. All that said I would like a Garand Cut-A-Way training aid. I'll come across one by and by.

I guess those that don't own a Garand, just don't understand.
To put it in perspective, before owning a Garand, I started with an AR-15. I got hooked, and built a couple more. I had plans to build 3 or 4 more. I then bought a Garand from the CMP. Since then, I have gotten 5 more, and have 1 more on order. My ARs have taken a back seat. Even my boys, who love shooting AR's will choose the Garand when asked what they would rather take to the range. |

That's an excellent, and very clean M1. Heal markings are crisp and beautiful. From the pics, that's a very nice rifle. SA is the classic *government* manufacturer of the M1, IMHO.
Unlike your Bushmaster, your new M1 rifle is a military-grade weapon, with all that implies in terms of materials and process control. M1s are awesome-robust, simple to operate and maintain, and proven in every climate the Earth has to offer. You can store your clips in ammo cans for 200 years, and they'll be ready to shoot right out of the bandoleers with zero malfunctions from "spring fatigue". Six million M1s can't be wrong. It can still launch a bullet in a straight line, with a reasonable amount of self-loading follow up shots that can be taken before it requires reloading. Damned good score OP. Let us know how it shoots when you get a chance. Oh, and despite what you've been told, every USGI M1 has a "collector's" appeal. No civilian-made M1 will ever be as good as one manufactured for the U.S. Government. |
