Two Garands

[target75]

Hello everyone, New to the site and would like to say hi!..I just recently acquired 2 M1 Garands..one from Spingfield Armory and the other is a H & R both post Korea from the mid 1950's. Look forward to getting info from the experts on the do's and don'ts when shooting as well as maintaining. Even though I am a retired E7 USAR I do look forward to listening to people who know more than I do about these great rifles!!

Thanks, Tom

Welcome to the forum Tom. Congratulations on your first two M1 rifles. If you are like most of us there will be others. Your question covers alot of ground. I would recommend that you go thru the "Stickys" at the beginning of the page. You will find alot of information there including videos of disassembly and the like. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask and I am sure you will get some help. Joe

Welcome to the Military Surplus Discussion Forums! Joe gave you some good advice - there's a lot of good info in the stickies on this sub-forum. Enjoy your rifles!

Here ya go..I found these on Gunbroker and both are CMP rifles. Both were described in detail with plenty of parts pics so both are mostly complete SA and HRA. The SA barrel is dated 6/56, the HRA barrel is dated 5/54. Looks like both were shot very little after the rebuild since the ME's are less than 2 and TE is less than 1.5. I actually prefer GB since I can get a very accurate description as compared to buying directly from CMP. Anyway I was not affiliated with CMP at time of purchase but I now am and for my next purchase(there will probably will be another) I will get from them.
