    Does anybody know of a good gun smith near Charles County that service and function test an M1 Garand?


    Tell us about your Garand. Did you get it from the CMP? From the $75 barrel at Woolworths? Why do you need a smith to function test it?

    Hello, I'm a long time Charles County resident and I recently purchased a Garand I found on consignment at a gun shop. Don't know much about the gun other than it has a 1943 SA receiver based on the serial number. It appears the stock and barrel have been replaced along the way. Bought the gun primarily to own a piece of history, and I'd like to have the gun professionally inspected (barrel condition, head space, etc.) before attempting to fire it.

    Congratulations on your Garand! Sorry I don’t know any gunsmiths but here is a couple sites with good info. http://www.garandgear.com/m1-garand-tutorials https://thecmp.org/training-tech/armorers-corner/
    Also when you do shoot yours make sure the ammo is safe to shoot in your Garand! The Garand was designed for certain ammo and the majority of newer 30/06 is not safe to shoot!
    Thanks for that link and ammo advice. That's a lot of useful info for a first time Garand owner like myself.
