No one mentioned the Swiss surplus rifles, the K31 and the K11.
Those are both very accurate, reliable, and still amazingly cheap. Like under $400, even under $300 if you shop around.

These are straight-pull bolt actions with 6 round magazines, chambered for 7.5 mm Swiss, which is a .308 class cartridge.

If you just want to blast cheap ammo at the range, and are happy with basketball sized groups 8 inches away from your aiming point, then a Mosin or an SKS will do the job. But if you want decent groups on target at 200 or 400 or 600 yards, then get a K31 while you still can.

If you still can.

Great advice for someone looking for inexpensive quality that is reasonably accurate past 200 yards. Some opine if these rifles were built today, they would cost a couple thousand dollars to manufacture given the materials and workmanship.

As also said previously, a new bolt action rifle in 308, 30-06, etc from Ruger, Mossberg, or Savage can be found for $350-500 and provide a similar mid distance thrill.

Not the only source just the best value for the money. Not much choice because they are running out. CMP is their own FFL with special permission to ship direct it is not under C&R rules but you need to qualify which is easier than it sounds. Lots of options for CMP affiliated clubs and many ways to qualify for firearms activity.

M1 Grand Service Grade $730 delivered to your door in a hard case.

Looks like current shipments are taking about a month. Visit the CMP Forum for more information:

Man, I wish I had the disposable income I had a few years ago. I'd pick a Service Grade up.

If you hadn't disposed of it then you could buy guns now.

M1 Garands are bought with Investment Income.

I took a second job in college at minimum wage and bought four M1's and probably over 3k rounds of .30/06 from the CMP, among other things, haha. I've still got three of those M1's and over 1.5k rounds of the ammo. I still shoot one of the M1's and load my .30/06 on HXP brass from that ammo I shot, so it was definitely a solid investment.

I did dispose of it wisely, for the most part.

I picked up Garands for me and my grandfather, an 03 Springfield for my Grandfather and a .308 Garand that I haven't even shot yet, all from the CMP.

Plus some '06 ammo.

I'd like to have another, just because I'd like to have another.

I wish I had bought more of the ammo, that's for sure.

Please sir can I have some more? I understand completely. By the way they are still selling HXP ammo.

 

[lazarus]

One of these days soon I hope. I probably won't have the time to get the CMP requirements taken care of for at least a year or two and coincidently, I probably don't have the spare cash for a $700-800 service grade rifle, but the desire is strong in me.

They are? I didn't even look when I checked out your link.

I may have to dispose of some income

They also sell .308 for that Garand you never fired. (In several flavors)

I'm a bad influence!

 

[themoose06]

Well this thread sure did evolve quite a bit. I'll keep in mind those CMP M1's. Sorry again for the weird/sketchy thread lol. It really wasn't thought out, I wasn't expecting anymore than a couple links to aid my search for cheap M1's.

Looking for cheap, real deal functioning m1 garands. I don't care if they're replicas. Just want a legitimate, cheap M1. Or similar rifle. Thanks!

CMP is the best you're going to do.

I will begin selling Garands once again from my bloated inventory around mid October, but they are some of my more expensive rifles. They'll be a mix of International Harvesters, Springfield Armory, a SA made by Roland Beaver for match type work and a Pietro Berretta (PB) or two.

Prices will range from $1250 to $2100. I no longer have any entry level Garands. I am selling to reduce the holdings because of a medical condition that has ruined my lungs.

Send me an email if interested and outline your want(s), and I will responded, but I will not be able to provide pics till later this month.

Damn - I should get another CMP Garand.

If camp stops taking orders does that mean they are sold out? Will they have that grade rifle available again? Or is that it?

They sometimes stop taking orders while they catch up on their backlog.
They day they actually run out you will know it. They will tell everyone.

 

[Threeband]

They could be "not accepting orders" for six weeks or six months; there's no knowing. Keep an eye on them, have your paperwork ready, and jump when they start accepting orders again.

You could sign up for their e-mail newsletter; that will help you stay on top of what's happening.
