P&S Militaria with recently imported Garands
I see that Jean at P&S Guns & Militaria (click here) has lower prices on these new importred Garands.
Here's a typical ad on his New Arrivals page.
(PS)- US Issue M-1
Garand Rifle, made by Springfield Armory Barrel dated 19, worn finish on metal, many dents and dings on stock, Nice Bore, cal. 30-06 Gov., Good to VG cond., $599.00 Can + shipping. (
Canadian F.A.C. or P.A.L. required). View it. (In stock ready for immediate delivery)
Attachment 706
Jean's a great guy to deal with, so personally, if I were shopping for one of these import deals and wanted to make sure I was treated right, it would be through Jean. Tell him Badger sent you....
Note: My opinion is personal and doesn’t necessarily express the views of the Military Surplus Collectors Forums, or its membership.

X2. I've bought from Milarm' and been pleased, but I'd pay 10% more for the same described and pictured gun from P&S by virtue of his excellent service and the accuracy (under-described if anything) of his ads.

NRA VG Garands @$600 Is Fair Market Value EH
IF these newly imported Garands are at NRA Very Good Condition they are in my opinion a very good value in current market conditions. Garand prices in Canada have lagged the American market for some time. At a Minneaoplis gun show in 1995 Garands in NRA VG were at the $500-$600 US dollar range let alone eleven years later. On the CGN board NRA VG Garands are selling for $600 to $800 routinely.
With sincere apologies to Shakespeare, "Gather ye Garands (er rosebuds) while ye may!". P&G and Jean are great to deal with in my experience as well.

For the record, I have bought somewhere around 20 (probably more) milsurp rifles from Jean now over the years since I started doing business with him (2001) and speak with him on the phone semi-regularly about various pieces in his inventory.
P&S has bar-none THE most personal service in Canada. Sometimes their prices are marginally higher than the bigger volume sellers, but the value-added service and detailed pics of every rifle prior to purchase more than make up for any price differential IMHO. And Jean DOES under-rate his rifles.

Has word on the street figured out who's importing them? I'm hesitant to buy a mixmaster with craptacular wood for $630-$700 when I hear some people saying they see lots for $400-$500... if the importer sells them direct for cheaper than maybe.
-
As I understand it, the imported wholesaled them all thus far. No direct sales - yet.
