M1 Garand Megathread

That's it- thanks. My last FG should have been a Rack based on condition. Made a great organ donor so condition wasn't that important, but I would have gone with the Special Rack if they had such a thing at that time.
Seriously- make the trip to Pembroke sometime. There's a Garand match and a sub-match every month April through November. You'll get all the tips you could want for shooting and maintaining a M1 and have a good time with the matches.
just dont ask the old italian guy what he thinks of the rack grade specials.
For what a new stock costs? To each their own. I would rather a stock that looked like it was dragged over every rock of normandy, iwo jima, or korea to a new stock.
I have a couple stock sets I will trade for GI stocks
I was just watching Guns and Ammo TV show and they were at the Cody firearm museum in Wyoming. They had a Winchester select fire Garand which was very cool. Had a bipod, muzzle brake, and removable box mag. Neat stuff.
Never knew about those.

JCG had several variations of the M1
Recent Garand Collectors Association had a good right up on the different M1s
IIRC JCG’s first “garand” design was a detach box fed but the “powers to be” thought that to be to complicated and a clip fed top loader was fine like the springfields.

Gee, wanna sell 50 rfs for $50?
Nice. I still have a bunch of 30-06 on clips that I bought for 61 cents per round shipped from cheaper than dirt back in 2015
You end up shooting all of that HXP 303 ammo from CTD, I got for you @mac1911 ?
who would have thought I could shoot factory 30-06 cheaper than 9mm?...
Answer will be something that sounds like "Itzapizzashit!"
Which is his answer for pretty much everything that CMP touches.

619DW Guns & Ammo has PPU $19.99 a box, 3 box limit.
However, I got really lucky with Steve at Merrimack Firearms today:
Came out to 57 rounds, $25. 2 of them were black tips.

Oh I gotcha. I remember that deal CTD had with those and the clipped Garand ammo. I got a big box of the Garand stuff and it was pretty nice.
That Winchester is probably corrosive primed
I'm rationing my trips. Next cycle when 3006 is 0.67/rnd I'm buying a pallet load.
Well.... maybe off the shelf is a little off. I went in looking for an IH, they didn't have any out. I mentioned my disappointment having driven all the way from NH. So the armorer there went out back and "found" one. Happend to be one he himself had gone over. So not a rack grade, and not a field grade either.
I 'm thinking I'll do another road trip either late this year or next depending when they are fully open. But this time I'm spending 2 full days at the range.
Yes , I bought that specifically for cmp games vintage so I shoot 35 rounds a year IF I bring out the enfield for vintage. The enfield is low on the list for vintage. Now if I get that Swede Mauser starts putting rounds in the 10 ring the enfield might come out every 2-3 years for cmp. Other than that it will be slinging cheap cast loads for plinking fun.Nice.

Just sent out an order for a IHC Service Grade. Could be early August before I see it.

Did you go to the Ohio store or Talladega? How was the ride from NH?
I went south. The range is in Talladega, CMP south is in Anniston. Driving wasn't bad, even pleasant. Little traffic and nice scenery. But it was a lot of driving in a short time. Next time I'm planning more days and stops along the way.
A little blo helped draw out the markings. There is an O.G. , faint crossed cannons, and then a cartouche maybe 2 cartouches to the left of the cannons. Hard to make out what they say. Is this a replacement stock?

OG - Ogden Arsenal. Rebuild stamp
Looks like remanence of a SA acceptance stamp? No P proofs on the grip
Did they sand off original acceptance stamps during Rearsenal?
IIRC OG was doing rebiulds in the 50s?
That stock could be from any rifle unless theres some indicators on the rifle of OG rebuild?

P proof behind trigger guard. E stamps on grip.

I have mo idea what the E stamp is , I have a few stocks with odd stamps on the grip, could be rack ID smaller arsenal stamps, other country inspections?
I have a carbine with 77 on the grip ?
Back in the late 80s I purchased a M1 Garand from DCM $175.00. Sent it to Orion 7 Enterprises Inc. in New York for some work. He used to attend the Springfield shows. Came back to me like factory new. Also when it was cheap and delivered to my door step. I purchased 2 wood crates of 1980s mfg HMAK Danish 30-06 M/48 Ammo 624 Rounds packaged in cloth bandoliers with loaded 8 Round en bloc clips. Shot 1 crate that ammo was accurate and worked great. Glad I got 2 crates the other crate remains unopened for now.
With all thats going on I dont think we will see cheap ammo ever again.
Just took my new (to me) Dec 1943 M1 to the range today for a function check. It worked flawlessly. Many thanks to CMP for sending me such an amazing rifle.
