I need some help..I am very new to Garands. I want to buy my first and would like some info. This is at a local auction and these are the only pics they have up. Can anyone tell me more about this rifle?
Thanks

Personally I would not buy any M1 with out a in person examination including a field strip. -
I totally concur with RDS on this one. Not nearly enough pictures or added info. I'd only buy it if it was cheap--like $100.

If you really want an M1 Garand, I suggest you buy one from the CMP. They have several grades and you get what was advertised if not better. They have also been responsive in working problems and make good on whatever they sell. I recently purchased a Special grade and recommend it to anyone who plans to use their rifle; and is not a collector. It's essentially a brand new M1 built on a Gaged and refinished receiver.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.

Buying that M1 would be the ultimate crap shoot. Not near enough info or pictures. You could get a gem or a turd that can't even be shot safely. Remember you're talking about a 70+ firearm that could have seen action in 3 wars.Comment

There have been drill rifles and ceremonial Garands modified to be "non shooters". No way you can tell from those pictures. I highly recommend you totally forget that auction and go elsewhere.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.
