Sweet, how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

OORAH · April 1st, 2006

650 cold hard american dollars.

best money i have ever spent

update: we ordered 500 rounds for her from Shotgun News magazine. only cost about 80 bucks, and they were already in the 8 round clips and in bandoleers.

Damn....$650. That's best price for M1. Where did you got $650 M1 Garand.

OORAH · April 6th, 2006

at a gun show i went to about 2 months ago

URGENT UPDATE:

last night i went down to the local gun club and squeezed off about 50 rounds. That was some of the most enjoyable shooting i've experienced in quite some time. quite possibly some of the noisiest as well.

The only time I wanted something lighter than an M1 was on long marches. The qual range was great though. Once you get the peep sight picture down, you can hit anything out to 500 yards.

What? Are you serious about that price for M1 Garand?

5.56X45mm · April 7th, 2006

Yes, that's the amount I payed for my M1 Garand.

It was a Danish import.

The reciever was made by the Springfield Armory in 1945 and after the war. It was given to the Danish Army as lend lease.

In the 1960s, the Danish Army gave it a new stock and also replaced the shot out barrel. It was then put into Army storage for the next 30 years. After that. The Danish Army gave it back tp the US Army. And the US Army sold it through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Which in turn I bought for the price of $400 US.
