Decided on a 1954 M1 Garand (CMP Correct Excellent)

[lkgmadmax]

Well I appreciate all of the help offered up earlier regarding the WWII 1944; I decided to go in a different direction. I may still pursue a WWII M1 later.

I found a 1954 CMP "Correct Grade Excellent” that was purchased by a fellow a few years ago, comes with all the paperwork. He said at the time he visited the store and they had a rack of 20, he looked over each one and selected the best they had at the time in his opinion. After getting it home and removing some of the grease he decided that the rifle may have possibly never been fired and since it was still in the grease, he decided to store this one away due to it being better suited in his opinion for collecting instead of an everyday shooter. He returned to the store and selected a field grade for shooting. He recently decided to put this one up for sale, I saw it, liked it and we were able to reach an agreement we were both happy with.

One I receive it and get it cleaned up I’ll have a photo shoot and post some of my pictures.

Thanks again for all of the help!
