The M-1 Garand santa came yesterday, will have pics really soon.
Sweet, that's a nice x-mas present to yourself:headbang
:pics:pics I'd really like to see some photos of that! Just out of curiosity, how much does a M-1 go for in nice condition?
Well not a milsurp, but it is C+R..... It's a Winchester 67A Boys Rifle .22S/L/LR. Got it at a great price too. The shop was selling it as a Win 67A (at a pretty good price for that), but didnt have it marked as a Boy's Rifle which just about doubles the value. Stock is in great condition, the chrome needs to be polished and there are a few worn down spots on the bluing. Overall, it's in great shape. I've only fired 1 shot out of it, but it hit right where I pointed it! The barrel is 20" and the stock is 11" from buttplate to the back of the bolt. I'll have to put a rubber pad in the stock for me to shoot it, I can barely shoulder it. It'll work great for the kids in a few years. I took it all apart to clean and found this under the buttpad:

Pretty good shape for being over 50 years old!

So where's the Garand porn!?!?!?:banana1:
Yeah, what he said:headbang
yes.....whiteZcamaro said he would post em. i will have "after" pics too
I love my gramps m1. I want an m1 carbine, their site says they get them from time to time. Or the M1 sniper rifle.
Have they ever offered WWII M14?
Full auto? WWII era was semi I thought? :confused
M1 Garands are semi auto and were used in WWII. The M14 was adopted by the military in 1957 and is select fire, the shooter can select between semi auto and full auto much like the M16 (semi and burst).
Ah didn't know that. Ah well there's always m1 carbines :D
If you want the M14 look there is always the Springfield Armory M1A in semi auto. But they're new, no history.
Here ya go!!! (if they work)
