Picked up a couple of M1 Garands
I stumbled across a good deal on a couple of SA Garands.
One is from Feb 1941, and the serial number on the other one indicates Jan 1952.
I have been around guns all my life and I have owned many historic weapons, (including several M1 Carbines) but I have never owned a Garand before, so when I saw these I decided to pull the trigger and grab them.
They both have shiny bores with decent rifling, very good metal with no pitting, but fairly beat up stocks. I will try to share pics in a bit.

I am a CMP forum moderator and people offer stocks for sale all the time. Question for you is, do you want a period correct with cartouche or just a better looking stock? You can also look at Dupage Trading, Fulton Armory or The Stock Emporium. Sean from stock emporium is on the CMP forum and helped me out with hand-guards. Email both companies with specific questions.
