Tough one to answer without knowing what kind of stuff you already have.
Everyone should have a garand-but two CMPs? I would get one & maybe a Springfield .45 Mil spec that'd make a fun pair of guns. The Eagle arms AR-10 is a tiny bit under $ 1k, but mags are expensive-I'd choose the DSAFAL first-altho my choice would be a clean SAR-8 (?) or whatever the Springfield armory copy of the HK 91 was, they are under a grand, I think, and will take cheapo Cetme mags. The lowest end Springfield armory M1A's are also a tad under 1k and mags are cheaper than an AR-10. The smallest Kimber 45-the ultra CDP maybe-is around a grand and comes with night sights and a cool looking "melt" job, altho I would find one with the older safety, not the new System II or whatever it is called. But those are VERY nice looking little .45's. |

I don't have any of the following: HK-91 type rifles (currently) any FALs seriously tricked out 1911's (currently) HK USPs AR-10's I guess my subject line should have been, "What gun would YOU buy if someone gave you $1000 right now?" I've got a lot of stuff now, maybe too much, but I'm just looking for inspiration. |

1) How about a rack grade Danish M1 Garand w/ VAR barrel from the CMP and having it totally restored by Orion 7? That'll cost you about a grand.
2) 2002 LEGP and a case of match .223? 3) Tricked out, custom AK-74/47/RPK/Krinkov by "Informer" at Solstice Arms Int'l? 4) tricked out 1911 for about a grand? How about a Wilson Combat KZ-45, $1085 |

You could pick up a used/new Glock 17 in 9mm, and a KelTec Sub2000 rifle and both guns would share the same ammo and magazines.
The Glock fits anywhere a Glock will fit and the KelTec will fit into a std. briefcase with a 30rnd Glock 18 mag inserted. Perfect for the after office party crowd when a briefcase will fit in perfect and only you will know the potential firepower within. KelTec sells new for $300 and Glock 19 4-5 hundred new/used. Still enough money left over for a couple of factory Glock 18 mags |

First no more decent Garands from CMP period. All are Dane and Breda rebuilds and they go for more than $500 let me assure you.
Sgtar15, a preban AR for $1000? I wanna shop in your gunstore. You could get a postban M1A but I've heard bad things about Springfield as of late in terms of quality. Having seen the new Springfield SAR8 (CAI gun with Springfield name) and the croatian handgun I can believe it. A 1000 can buy you a sweet postban Armalite. But I believe DSA FALs are the best deal going today |

if I had $1000 right now, I'd get the M1 and have it worked on... match BBL, a wilson or kreiger... put a nice stock on it, NM sights... oh yeah... it would be sweet...

One was in good condition, the other was in excellent condition; it was an H&R and had hardly been fired. |

Ken, you must have got the last 2. What I have seen from the CMP lately is not as good. |
