My M1 is 6.09M, only about 2000 lower than the one pictured earlier.

The way I read the paragraph, only Firearms Importers are allowed to import military weapons. They're aren't allowed to import weapons that were exported under Lend-Lease, as stated, those weapons...

If you read the quote in Badger's post, it states that military firearms can only be brought into the US by a licensed importer. The CMP, as awesome an entity as it is, is not an importer. I think...

The article below was published only about 9 or 10 hours ago. Apparently the South Koreans aren't all that happy...

Yep. As long as the receiver is a C&R holder, you'd be perfectly OK to send a Garand to California. There's a newer portion of CA law that applies to 01 FFL's sending firearms into California to an...

I was able to get to the range yesterday (finally, after many months) and I was able to put some 168gr Black Hills Gold ammunition down range. That stuff is loaded for an M1, and is supposed to be...

Just make sure that they all headspace correctly. They were designed to be pretty much interchangeable, but once you start swapping bolts out...

That would simply tell me that the rifle was so nice, they had to target it twice!!! :madsmile:

The rest of it makes sense to me!

(and if I were anywhere near ya Bob, I'd bring my rifle over to...

That "T" would have meant that the rifle had been "targeted". I think.

And of course, knowing is half the battle... ;)

Although SA, Inc producing say just over 6 million receivers and then having to restart in the 7 mil range would certainly make perfect bureaucratic...

Makes sense to me... I find it a stretch, though, that they'd get to 6.9 million before the BATFE told them to renumber. So... realistically, the SA, Inc. would have been either a fairly low number...

I think he means "6.09" mil... after the last of the 6.1mil rifles, I think the serials restarted in the 7 mil range when the commercial Springfield Armory began building new M1's.

Cosine, on another forum, Bob Seijas indicated that the NM stamp was essentially a "whole rifle" proof from SA that the rifle met NM specifications. I would imagine that being at the time it was...

:yikes: I think you might be right about that... :yikes:

Thanks! In addition, this was literally just a mail-order thing. I didn't go to either of the stores to hand-pick this. They picked it for me. I didn't even ask for anything nice... or specific.

Just a CMP service grade.

I have no idea... It's something I've noticed on some rifles. I'm still learning about NM/Match Garand rifles.

Current link to that AFPG is USAF Premium Grd NM M-1 Garand SN- 5836756 Auction

It's bid is over $4400 now.

This one has a 3/63 barrel... and it's an AFPG. (auction closed). It's a 6.1 mil...

Just an update of this, I just found out on another board that the AFPG rifles used both the standard and the NM bases for windage adjustments. It seems to be more possible that my rifle really IS an...

WHAT???? You mean to tell me that 2+2 ≠ 5??? :madsmile:

I'm pretty aware that the skills are are different. The fact that I got on paper means that I do know at least some rudimentary stuff... but...

New to shooting, I am not... New to High Power shooting... I DEFINITELY am!!! I do know what you mean by "spot-weld" though. This is a relatively new skill for me. I still have much practice to do...

Like I noted in the post, this was literally in the first few shots with that rifle. On top of that, it's well within the first hundred shots ever (probably less than 60) out of a rifle that isn't a...

This was a group I got, after getting my rifle pretty close to sighted in at 100 yards. These are literally shots 15-20 from when I first acquired it. I'm very new to shooting Garands. I was shooting...

SA (Springfield Armory) F6565448 (Drawing number) 12 54 (made in December 1954) The rest, I'm not sure about.

I just checked under the windage knob. It definitely does NOT have the typical AFPG modification for the 1/2 MOA adjustment. Given that there are a LOT of NM parts on this rifle, I can think of a...
