Plase PM with any info
there are some manuals around - just difficult to find !
I was at a vintage arms dealer and saw a four times version available for about the same price as a real Garand. This was last year.

There was one on Pawn stars last night and a 50 cal too!
Anyone see it?
One was a BAR, they figured it was worth about $1200.
Thanks for all the help! (Mr.Womack) Which vintage arms dealer?
one was a BAR the other was a .30 caliber M1919 A4. the guy wanted $20,000 but the show said it experts say they're only worth about $2,400Quote:

One thing to keep in mind. If you buy or sell one, do it locally. The travel cases were never designed for shipping. They were designed to be put in the rear of a truck and delivered to a unit, then returned to the training center.
If you ship one by common carrier, chances are it will get broken up pretty badly and destroyed.
that joker on Pawn Stars could hardly be called an expert...on anything.
Very Helpful.Quote:

Contact the Pawn shop (TV program) A guy brought in a M1 and a .30 cal trainer. Wanted $10,000 for both. Pawn shop did not buy.. They should have a release address...
Maybe cuz $10K is a bit over priced. Yeah, just a bit.....;)Quote:

I know it is missinbg the manual if not other items. My M1 Garand has only the display stand. I have another Garand that is missing a couple of parts, no stand or chest.
I just need the BAR, Thompson and 45 pistol to complete the set.

I am not sure that a Thompson exists. To complete a 2X training set you will also need the M79, M16, and M14.

We had the M2 Carbine at Tech Tng back in my early Navy days.
I've seen the Thompson listed somewhere, but could be an error, who knows.
Not interested in the M14,16, 79 or M60, just the WW 2 TAs. The VN period oversize TAs are mostly plastik, but some are a solid hard rubber substance. I have seen at least 2 or 3 varieties of the VN ones.
