M1 Garand

A slideshow of my newly-acquired M1 Garand, early 1945 production. Barrel gauges like new and rifle shoots under 1 M.O.A., better than many National Match built M1s and on par with modern sniper rifles. The pictures do not do it justice, especially on YouTube which is relatively low quality. The rifle looks unissued in real life.

Is it true that SA started making these again? I was told that, but can't find them listed on their website.

The company called Springfield Armory has nothing to do with the original government armory. Some guy bought the name and trademarks to it in the 70s. It's not even in Mass., but rather Ill. They made a limited run of M1s made with a mixture of new and NOS USGI parts, but I don't think they're making them anymore.

Beautiful gun sir!!

Thanks!

Did you get it from AIM surplus?

[donlugohs]

No, and I personally haven't seen them sell any as nice as my Garand, either. The nicest *looking* Garands I've seen from them in a long time are mismatched rebuilds with new production barrels and stocks.

I just bought my M-1 at a Gun Show. Markings and serial number show it was manufactured by the Springfield Amory (what I was looking for and wanted,) in August 1942 and refurbished at the Agusta Arsenal. The icing on the cake was it came with a bayonet. I hope to shoot it for the first time tomorrow.

@CrystalHunter1989 They are still around in gun shops and shows. These commercially made receivers are castings and some are fairly rough to cycle and have sloppy and relatively useless rear sights.... whereas the original USGI receivers were forged and milled to far more exacting specifications. My suggestion if you see a commercial springfield armory M1. Put your money back in your pocket and walk away....no actually you should run away.
