I recently received this M1 Garand and would like to know more about it. I'm finding some mixed information online and figured ODT could set me straight. I really want to know if this Garand is junk or......underappreciated.
This is what I know:
Springfield Armory 1943, trigger assembly= D 28290 SA, Op Rod= 382 6 SA, Bottom of receiver= B6B diamond D 28291 28, bolt= 6528287-6A A11
The bottom of the receiver and the barrel read "Federal Ordinance Inc. So. El Mante, CA"
It seems there is a lot of hatred for Federal Ordinance. Is it justified, or over blown?
