Safe Queen or Shooter: What to Do with a Collector Grade M1 Garand

[browningautorifle]

Easy answer there Ulrich, no bad makers. Not a pig in the bunch. It just depends on what you're looking for (if you had a choice of several). I'm sure you NEED a good shooter to begin with. Correct parts list for originality would be a distant second. The actual manufacturer would come after those. Remember, a dark barrel CAN shoot passibly and a shiney one's sometimes shot out. (like an old MG3 barrel)
