What to look for when buying my first M1 Garand

[TheGman]

Early model Garands have lock bar sights and milled trigger guards.

Google how to grease it so it runs right.

Learn how to load it properly so you don't get Garand thumb!

Don't join CMP, it's a ripoff.



Dangit, now I want to go shoot mine!

LOL I agree!
Lock bars are quite expensive now , I lead TG not so much but still cool!
I may hit Bob's today to exercise my 2nd amendment rights with a Warhorse M1.

You could also cut through the red tape and buy this one: Metro Atlanta - FS WWII Springfield Armory M1 Garand

SHAMELESS PLUG!

Oh, and don't shoot commercial ammo through it without the aftermarket gas plug.

I've read you can bend your operating rod and that is no bueno!
