Sweet. Every time I see a Garand I think of DaveW and smile :)

Good shooting, nice.

Super. I am so overdue for a range day

What is the make of your Garand?

Mine is a Springfield Armory #1544744 which dates to April 1943.
Got it from the CMP as a special grade, new barrel amd mew stock, all other parts original.

Same here brother, same here.

1945 Springfield Service grade with original '45 barrel

Awesome!!!!

That looks like a great range trip.

A friend of mine informed me that the M1A he's been wanting is out of his price range, so he's decided an M1 from the CMP is an acceptable alternate. We'll be driving to the store to choose them (I'll be getting one also) in the Spring.

Neither of you will be disappointed, they are amazing rifles. nanner

No, we won't be disappointed at all.

Mine's a 1940 Springfield, and he's shot it a few times.

Awesome! You can never have enough of them... Lol.

Looking really hard at building a 'C' or a 'D'

$$$$$ :eek:

Would like to follow along if you do decide to, don't forget to post a build thread.

A few weeks ago, I went to a Missouri Valley Arms Collector's Association gun show. The M1 sniper rifle exhibit left a huge puddle of drool at my feet. If I remember correctly, there were at least 10 Cs and Ds, possibly more. I'm certain they were all legit. I really should have taken a camera along. Ya, my iPhone's got one, but IMHO (and contrary to what everybody says) it sucks.

There were even a few for sale on the floor, but I wasn't going to tempt myself by looking at a tag or asking for a price. I'm sure I couldn't afford them.
