Garand Newbie!

[pigfrmr]

Well, in view of the election results (only made it happen faster), I just put a deposit on a '42 Springfield M-1. A little more than I wanted to spend for one, but at least it was a "hands on" deal. Been two hours and it's already driving me nuts - going to take me 3 weeks to pay it off!!!

Your gonna love it! I have 2 now, 1 safe queen and 1 shooter and it has quickly become one of my favorites to go blasting with. Congrats!

If you are looking for a handsome shooter that won't break the bank, check out James River Armory's booth at the Dulles show, they are basically rebuilt and refinished CMP rifles

that was it, but whoever owned it (was a consignment) told him that "as soon as this one sells, I'll bring you another"

I purchased a correct grade Springfield from the CMP this past spring. LOVE IT.

I love my Garands, I shoot them both as much as I can. To me it really feels like a rifle in your hands, whatever that means (haha). I'm getting better with my accuracy, I admit I sucked at first (I had never fired anything bigger than a .223 before shooting that Garand, took me a while to get used to the M1 beast).

Have you ever shot a CMP match or attended a clinic? If not I highly recommend it. It's also a bonus to working the M1 for vets shoots. You can't find a better batch of military rifle coaches anywhere!

I've got a 1953 International Harvester M1 Garand, and I'm danged happy to have it! I wouldn't be against getting another one though - they are dandy rifles.

You can say that again. I participated in the Grand match put on by the Ft. Meade Rod and Gun. Had a great time and had a Vet working the match as a coach. Great stuff!! It was done on the Meade rifle range, 200 yards.

Shot a 260 first time out - it had been a long (Army) time since I fired a rifle. Getting ready to buy another Garand
