Hello all - I'm brand new to the forum, and was hoping for some help in identifying what I have here.
I came to own this by way of a trade I made last weekend. The previous owner said it was a CMP Garand that had been sent back from Italy.
I felt the trade was in my favor so I Went through with it as I really wanted a second M1. The ME isn't even a full 2 yet. I Have not checked the TE.
The stock is pretty beat, and I think it's birch. But there is a fair cartouche on it. There is also a P cartouche under the pistol grip.
The metal is in great shape, and the breech/mgazine look like it has not seen much use. Can you all help me a bit with this?
I was thinking of putting a nicer/new stock on it and using it as a shooter. Thoughts?
