Decent price on 7.5x55 swiss too (PPU SP). If you add it with the IMI it does not cost any extra to ship.

Not saying you should or shouldn't use it but, CMP has both Correct Grade and Collector grade listed on their M1 Garand page.
CORRECT GRADE: (VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT)
Correct Grade Rifles are similar to the Service Grade (above), but will show less wear and use. Correct Grade rifles will have...
Not sure how many other ways I can explain it other than what I have already posted. Having never purchased a firearm from a private party, I assumed it was commonplace to test fire for functionality before the purchase. When the seller did not want to do that, it set off alarm bells. Hence my...
That is kind of the point of my post. I didn't realize this was a special request when I made it, hence my apprehension with going forward with the deal. I now see the error of my ways :)
I can understand that. I guess we each see things through our own lens of experience. Having never been a seller that never really crossed my mind. In my eyes, I am driving a fair distance (I am meeting in his city) to get the gun so there would be more incentive for me to not back out of the...
Sounds reasonable. I guess my biggest problem with it was that it seemed so counter intuitive in my mind to not see it work before buying it. I am from a rural area so if I was selling a firearm to someone I could take them in my backyard and let them shoot off a few rounds so that they could...
Well I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't open to changing my mind. I really do want that gun, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being stupid and about to get ripped off first. It definitely eases my mind to know that its not normal for people to see guns work before purchasing.
I wouldn't mind paying the fees to ensure the gun works. I know its not an absolute guarantee its not a dud but it seems rather cheap insurance when paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a weapon. Obviously I now realize I am in the minority for this opinion.
I guess in my mind I...
Interesting to see the responses. Definitely not what I expected but I have been wrong enough to know to check when something is new to me. So do most deals on here go down without ever seeing the firearm function before purchase?
And they wouldn't let you take it back or give you a firing...
