Ouch.!!
CMP members are gonna give you hard time but fret not I'm not too far behind you.
A lot of guys don't realize you are not going to pay less then $1000 for an M1 outside the CMP.

This isnt a CMP mixmaster, the rear sights alone are worth atleast $500
If CMP had this rifle it would go to auction

In the last month I sold two of my CMP Garands. Springfield 1100,Winchester 1200 both sold to a friend who had none(but had plenty of money). They are in good hands.
My Dec 1941 Lend lease (445XXX) I paid 1300 a year or so ago, so you can see how well prices have gone for us.

Even "a year or so ago" a correct Dec. 41 for $ 1300.00 was a steal. By the way, the rifle pictured in my Avatar is a Non L.L. Dec. 41.

AFMEDIC
The flush nut sight was replaced by the type 1 lockbar, then type 2 & 3. As the flush nut sights were replaced during overhaul they were scrapped. Why save a superseeded part?
They are hard to find because of this so, supply & demand.

Been awhile since I posted pictures. My 41 lend lease and my 42. The 41 is almost identical to the one in the semi recent GCA mag (both pics and parts.

Great rifle! Good luck with it! I notice the front sight has a plug over the set screw. Am I correct that this is a lead plug and that not many Garand's today still have that plug in them? If so, to me, that makes the rifle even more interesting. Not sure if that is an urban legend....

Its a metal cap put over the sight screw and no not many are found this way.

Yes, the front sight screw seal was about number 2 of the changes...the round firing pin being probably the first...there aren't many of either left. I have them though.

Lead?

It's not lead, it's sheet metal. They often got hammered on when banging off a tight cylinder, could look like lead. Go to The Garand Collectors Association and click on Glossary of Terms, scroll down to see an intact one.
