Hello everyone,

I recently purchased my first M1icon at a gun show, and I just had a couple questions.
The entirety of the gun is in excellent condition (except the gas tube which I'd rate good to vg) and comprised mostly of 1941 and 1944 Springfield parts. The catch is that it has a CAI receiver. I already intended to replace the receiver with a Springfield one, but I was wondering if it's safe to shoot it on the CAI receiver while I save for the SA one, or if I should wait till I get the new one installed.

Also, I paid $500 for the gun, which seemed like a good price to me, considering the next cheapest Garand at the show was going for $900. So I hope I didn't over pay.

Thanks so much everyone for any help and I can get pics up if you would like.
