Hi everyone,
I was hoping to grab some help related to M1 Garand research. I'm trying to find an original pre-1945 manufactured M1 Garand and can't seem to find one at any of the stores in Massachusetts, outside of a few WIN-13 models which I am not interested in. I'm also a bit hesitant to get one online and shipped to an FFL given that it's difficult to trust these postings.
My questions are really a few fold:
All the Best,
Jon
I was hoping to grab some help related to M1 Garand research.

I'm also a bit hesitant to get one online and shipped to an FFL given that it's difficult to trust these postings.
My questions are really a few fold:
- Are there reliable places online (outside of directly from the CMP) that you all trust, or have you seen a good place to acquire a Garand?
- How difficult is it to find one that is all matching. I'm assuming almost impossible and I shouldn't hold out for one given I may never find one.
- Prices. I found a CMP rifle on a website that has a 1942 dated barrel and 1944 stock that costs ~$3,500. Does anyone have a clue as to generally what I should be looking to pay? It seems that anything pre-1945 is 2x the price of something afterwards (I found a few 1950+ rifles that are in the $1,500 range). Does this sound right?
All the Best,
Jon
