Hello All, I have been looking through some M1 Garand forums over the past couple of weeks to try and learn as much as I can, but I am definitely a novice when it comes to rifles. I just bought an M1 Garand this week and figured I would join and share on this forum. I bought it from a buddy who has been holding on to it for about 4 years and decided to let it go. I didn't ask where or who he got it from but he did say the bolt and rear sights, and possibly the trigger housing group (not sure), are the only things replaced on it. I decided rather than going to someone to appraise it, I would share it here. From checking serial numbers , the barrel date aligns with the receiver. There is also multiple stamps on the stock. There is an "A A" stamp with the Eagle and stars, along with another stamp of what looks like "A A E". I assume the two Augusta Armory stamps are from when the bolt and rear sights were replaced, (again I am new to this arena so really don't know). Photos are attached. To add, the stock is a darker color wood. Haven't tested the barrel condition but a 30-06 FMJ won't fit all the way in the muzzle. Bore looks good to the eye when looking through the barrel with a flashlight.
Let me know what you all think. I look forward to exploring this forum and seeing what everyone has to say.
Thanks a lot!
