Interesting info on the Philippine M1 Garand Returns

Am I nuts for wanting the one with the 'ventilated' hand guard?

Uh after buying several of your firearms I would be surprised if you didnt want that one haha

Ha ha, yeah, I have a weakness for oddballs.

Sounds like lots of them will have new wood.

And looking at the rust and some of the barrels I would say refinished with new barrels...makes me wonder how many stocks and barrels they have sitting around...

I saw horrible looking new wood, not even sure the type, on the service and field grade guns on my last trip. The CMP specials have nice walnut though. Also the Criteron barrels that CMP uses are both nice looking and accurate.

I think the "M1 Garand Special" with new wood and barrel will be the norm.
