It's a Garand day

[StraightArrow88]

Okay well technically it was last Monday. I had mailed off my order to the CMP for a field grade M1 Garand in early October. This is what I recieved and I'm very happy with it.

It's a Springfield Armory 5.8 million S/N, putting it made in 1955. The wood was very greasy, but a good cleaning revealed sound wood and even some nice grain here and there. I was a little nervous knowing the condition of field grades, but I am so glad I got mine with no cracks in the wood and nice metal finish. Even the barrel gauges within service grade specs (MW 2+, TE 4+), and has a nice clean crown.

This is a rifle I never thought I would be able to own, but it's safe to say that I now have Garanditis. I can't wait to take it to the range!

Nice looking! Sorry to hear you came down with Garanditis. Once I had it, I also came down with Mosinitis too!

Nice! My Garand might be my favorite rifle.

Go ahead, squeeze off a couple rounds off in the backyard. No one will care. You know you want to.




I am kidding.

Congrats! Looks very nice for a field grade. Very jealous. I've got Garanditis with no damned Garand!

Soon...with any luck...soon...

I honestly wish I could without the police being called on me.

Very nice. Now it needs a little sister (M1 carbine) to keep it company. Garands get lonely you know.

nice rifle, makes me appreciate classic designs a little more. i guess it doesnt always have to be " tactic-cool"

 

[05dodgedaytona]

Very nice.

I just ordered a bayonet for mine this week. I only hope thats enough to keep the garanditis in check for now.

If you fall in love with Vagina, is Vaginitis a certainty?

I've had that for about a year and a half now.

Congratulations, looks like you won in the "CMP Lottery"! Much nicer than the Greek rack grade examples I saw about 10 yrs ago. Never get bored shooting my M1s.
