Wait, hold up. The Garand is from WW1, not WW2. o_O
THey discontinued it sometime around 1910.

What do you think the odds are that you're right and the Springfield Armory is wrong on this one?

I'd say very very slim. Not to mention all the wwII games that feature the m1 Garand...

The Garand came out in 1939 I think.

might want to also check out http://www.odcmp.com/. Own a piece of history - M1's used during that period - cheap too.

Can't see the site from work, but it should be the civilian marksmanship program. Not sure how safe they are to fire, might need a little gunsmithing etc...

No, Springfield Armory recently reissued M1 Garands for around $1378, really sweet. Now they are issuing a limited run (only 1944 of them) of commemorative D-Day M1's, issued in a retro wooden crate, some cool stuff engraved on the stock and operating rod....a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time!
Actually I'd be pretty happy with the regular reissue of the M1, it's not refurb CMP ones, it's a brand new, built to WWII specs M1.
