I want to own at least one beautiful version. Don't have any right now. Can I buy a "newer" Garand like I can buy an M14 clone, or do I want a CMP collector grade?

I know very little about Garands, but...

Several parts can still be found brand new in the wrapper. I have a lot of brand new parts and there are some folks here on this forum that have LOADS of brand new parts.
If I were you, I'd cut my teeth on the M1 with a nice service grade from the CMP. A basic mail order service grade is exactly what you need my friend. You will not have just one. Your second one can be the beauty queen. Get one that you can have fun with and shoot the snot out of first.
Just my 2 cents.Welcome to the Addiction!

Ugh. This forum is really going to make me want a Garand. I wanted one of course, but now I really want one!
I am thinking of selling a .257 Weatherby so I can get enough money for a Nightforce, but a guy there (another forum) is telling me not to because it was inherited.Last edited by leadbug; 12-27-2015, 08:46 PM.

I haven't seen your Les Baers either, interested as I'm a big 1911 guy. I'd like to see the rifle too.
I'm interested to see what you get for a Garand. You sound a bit like me, I like really nice stuff. I'd probably get a shooter like Jersey Devil and Phil said first. I don't have one yet but I've been shopping and haven't found any good deals for the condition locally. I don't know what the market is like in the PNW but I'd guess you can come up with something pretty good unlike down here. I'd like one of those "basically brand new with minor wear" ones that Jersey Devil is talking about myself lol. Like they say though, you will probably end up with more than one though.
