    New Garand owner in Texas

    Hey Guys, Just picked up my first Garand.

    Been hunting one for about 5 years, come across a few but never met my criteria, I'm kind of picky on guns. I wasn't looking for some super high end one, or a unicorn, just one that likely saw action in WW2, sub 1 million SN, in decent shape, and not insanely priced.

    I had finally decided to get one through CMP, service grade, had all my paperwork ready, and then found out they're sold out, The same day I happened to go to a brand new gun store in my town, and there was a Garand on the wall, so of course I had to look at it.

    953,xxx SN. SA walnut stock, SA receiver. SA Barrel, dated 10-50 that gauges very tight.

    On a basic search the internal parts are 1950-1952, and the stock is 1950-1954, So I assume the gun was made in 1942, issued, rebuilt in 1950-1952, and has sat in the safe since, theres a little wear on the internals but not bad, and like I said, the 1950 barrel has little use.

    If ya'll want Ill post all the S/Ns later.

        Welcome, and enjoy your new toy. Just an FYI--there is only one serial number on an M1 rifle. That's the number on the receiver heel. The other numbers you are referencing are drawing, or part numbers.

            Spikito, be very carefus, do not allow your new M1 to get close to any others-they breed like rabbits and suddenly you will have a gun safe full. Congrats on your new toy.
