Upward trend in Garand prices since CMP supply is down to a trickle

[Mgv744]

I have seen very big hikes of prices for Garand's. Hold on to your seats it will get worse and not better. Decent rifles will bring big prices!

I agree, been stocking up! LOL

Yes do not sell now. wait till next year to sell. When all you can buy is a shooter grade rifle reparkerized and a commercial new barrel with new wood for $1070 with tax. Good collector rifles are going auction. The well has dried up! CMP is doing a great job to promote the sport and marksmanship. lets face it there is nothing to bring back.

M1 rifles are like real estate--neither is being made any more.

I'm not sure the Garand could be manufactured at competitive prices. The newly manufactured 30 Carbibes are $400 too high.

The new inland carbines are investment cast not hammer forged like the real Military carbines. A company like Bula Defence can make hammer forged Garands. But the cost would be upwards 2K. Bula makes the best M14 clone today just the the military milspec M-14.

Is that how Fulton Armory is doing there carbines?

A new Garand is not worth 2 grand, the rifle was great in its time but that time has passed.

I've been watching the CMP for an M1. Prices were $750-$1000 but everything seemed to be out of stock. I recently purchased a Nov 1944 Springfield in very nice condition for $1300 from a good friend of mine. It would have been way too much a year ago, but in today's prices it seemed like a great deal.

No import marks, appears to have been re-armored at RIA in the 50s where it got a '53 LMR barrel.

Got a box of enblocs, reloading dies, and 500rd of brass. Good price? I dunno but I think so.

I think you got a good deal especially since you also got the LMR barrel, the brass, and the reloading dies.
