Great pics!!!
Thinking about getting an M1 Garand in the near future. How available or hard to get are the .30-06M1 M2 Ammo through say, CMP or other vendors? How much? About a buck a piece?
Thanks

Look on the CMP site, they had it for about $100 for 200 rounds last time I checked.
They might be out of the cans with en-bloc clips for a while though, maybe only shipping loose rounds.

After sanding and stripping it bare I just kept rubbing mineral oil into it until the wood started looking good. After that I applied several coats of tung oil.

Beautiful!
Winchester 1944
Newest American: National Postal Meter M1 carbine; subcontract Union Switch and Signal receiver and General Motors barrel dated 1/1944. Recoil plate and hand guard are still N.P.M.; other small parts mixed. Also NOS 1943 D.M. Shoe mag pouch, M3 flash hider, Utica M4 bayonet, and repro oiler and sling.
First 20 rounds, seated, 25M., Privi FMJ, first 4 high and right, then adjusted the sights:

Got the last piece of my NPM M1 carbine I bought in July. Evidently it came with a 'soft case' they couldn't find. I picked it up today; the 'soft case' turned out to be an original experimental 'Engineer's Holster'. Wow.

1955 HRA CMP service grade M1 Garand with new wood stock. I got a new itch to buy guns that where made in massachusetts. Already have the SA M1 now the HRA and maybe just maybe someday a M14 or M16 made by H&R?
Sehr schön! Just in time for the national gun registry!1944 SA, arsenal refurbed in 1952, then likely in Danish service as an M1D
