Default Garand

I was just curious if anyone is producing any good Garand copys? I know Springfield had a limited run of some special edish ones, but I was curious if there were any others.

Thanks.

Default Re: Garand

you have a few choices.

You could join the CMP and see if they have any left for sale, theirs go for about 400$-1500$ depending on what grade it received.

Or you could just buy a m1a1 which is made by springfieild and is what replaced the garand. The m1 uses a similar design as the garand.

qouting for bullshit.
sks is much uglier. The m1 garand action is a much better design and just as reliable if not more. and if you get a garand fro mthe CMP you could get one for 400$. That is just a little more than what the average sks is going for right now. Shit there are probably sks's going for that much now.

Confused Re: Garand

Does nobody but the CMP sell Garands anymore?

Sure, I have an M1A, but it'd be cool for historical purposes to have a Garand.

pretty sure the CMP is almost out of them. they have m1 carbines. And the collector grade m1garands last time i checked.

Pretty sure they are out of the 400-600$ garands. the m1 carbines are probably flying off the shelves to.

I have not seen any other places selling them. i am sure they can be found though.

dude you have a m1 a1 it is just like a garand but with better features and improvments.

It may be, but this is America dammit! I should be able to get the old model if I want to, just for kicks.

Sure I could have this,


But I'd rather have this:


See what I'm sayin'?

hehe yeah. m1 a1 is more like this

and tyhe garand is more like this:


But I get what your saying.

You probably have a newer m1a1 but they have been around for a long time. I believe the m14 was used in vietnam but it was probably produced before then. not positive.
