I'm also looking for my Fathers. Serial number 1933482. He made me memorize it and his USMC serial number (1553576) until I could "earn" my own...lol

Stranger things have happened...... Wouldn't be really cool to run across those Garands. Good luck fellas.

Thanks Bill, I have had the CMP check their records, Arlington Ord (Navy Arms) also checked theirs in the mid 90's and I even spent an entire day going through Springfield Sporters records (they were ALL recorded in ledger books, nowhere near numerical order...lol). The search continues...

Good luck in your search. Just to give you a glimmer of hope,I read about a guy that wanted to buy his Dad an M1 for his birthday and found his Dads issue Garand at a local shop so it can happen

CMP Forum started a thread about Garand Serial Numbers awhile back. I found one that was within 84 of mine, another member found one and bought it for Sequential s/n.

May also want to try the CMP again. This latest shipment was 170K of Garands. Granted, most appear to be post war, but they have all the S/N computerized. May be worth a shot.
