I received my M1 yesterday!
The only reason I received it now was because I was told that if I was willing to "accept" a Springfield I could get one sooner - they were processing orders from April as of two weeks ago. As soon as I said "hell yea" they shipped the rifle in a couple of days!
I haven't spent a lot of time checking it out, but it looks to be in great shape. The serial number puts the rifle (I'm sure just the receiver) as manufactured in June 1942.
I did not know that I was going to get a hard case, one enbloc and the DVD "America's rifle - the M1 Garand". I'm very excited to shoot the gun, but I'll probably have to wait a few weeks because of my knee surgery.
Couple of questions: I'd love to find a multi-tool for dis-assembly and cleaning, and the leather slings look like a great match for the gun (as I saw on the DVD). Anyone know where I can buy these items?
