New M1 Garand Owner - Hello and Questions

You paid $900 right? Well, a few hundred more puts you right in the neighborhood of M1's that didn't require a new barrel. Add metal refinishing and/or stock work you'll be underwater on this rifle.

I think that is ok long term ... I didn't buy this to try and turn around and make a quick buck. I think it will probably shoot ok as is, but will really shoot good with a new barrel. The wood to me outside of a ding or two look good. I will make it go pew pew at a hundred yards this weekend so if I'm getting tight groups off a bench rest I'm happy ... If I'm 30 MOA at 100 yards lol ... well
