My soon-to-be CMP road trip. (Garand Purchase)

So this is the one I picked up today. There really is a lot to learn about these classic firearms. This one has a Winchester receiver and a Springfield barrel. The guys behind the counter looked up the serial number and said it would have been issued in 1941. However the barrel was made in 1951. I've taken it home and field stripped it down to the gas tube. I don't own the wrench for it yet. But I imagine a screwdriver cushioned by a piece of cloth would work.

Nice rifle! A 1/4” drive socket extension works too

Beauty!
Grease it up and a little oil and go shoot it.
Range Report Please.

Quick side note. If you go to the CMP go to the Berman Museum of World History, which is only about 10 minutes north. Here's a thread I made about it: https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/the-berman-museum.1989503/

Me and another ODT member where at the Dawsonville Pawn Shop today. My buddy picked up a nice 1941 M-1 with Bayonet. The gun was in great shape. They still have. 3- M-1' s, in the store.
