Would like to add an IHC receiver, perhaps, someday.

By the time they're done, it will be one shot and take 20 minutes to reload.
I still haven't got around to ordering one. Hopefully I'll get one before they dry up. I always plan on getting one then something else shiny catches my eye. As far as Ban or confiscation goes. f***em, No one's taking my guns.Assuming the worst case scenario and the Dem’s win everything, having an M1 Garand is a good insurance policy. In all of their “assault weapon” bans/confiscation proposals, the M1 is always specifically exempted (tough to ban something that .gov or it’s chartered agent has been selling for the past 70 years).

/threadIt’s crazy to me that people choose what guns are ok to be confiscated.
Actually I wouldn’t get one just to avoid a gun ban, but I figured it was a good excuse to get people to start thinking about them. As far as I’m concerned, every American shooter should have at least one M1 Garand. But it is a fact that every (and I mean every) proposed assault weapons ban has included a carve out for the M1.It's a ridiculous premise for getting one. You're gonna hand over all your guns, 'cept the garand? That happens, maybe, to be "exempted"? Silly.

Naw, they’re relatively cheaper than ever, particularly if you reload. Even if you don’t reload, you can get M2 ball from the CMP for $.92 per round, only about 20 cents per round more than green tip is going for now-a-days. With the rack grade special still at $650 (free shipping and no sales tax), they really can’t be beat in today's screwy market.Too late. They're too expensive now, not just to purchase but also to shoot. Shame, sure, but reality.
I was looking at those $750 service grades, but I have the opportunity to purchase an absolute mint condition .308 chambered Garand for $900. Not sure which one to go with. I’d like the 30-06 because thats the original chambering, but man that .308 was nice.
IMO, assuming that the Dums will NOT go after even the M1 Garand is foolish. They want ALL guns out of our hands. It just MIGHT take them longer to go after the M1 than other things.
if your going to shoot it get the 308, easier to find ammo and a tad cheaper.

while your waiting you can come shoot a Club M1 garand at OCSA in pembroke MA Nov 1st M1 Garand Clinic/matchGot my paperwork in. Now the wait. Hoping for a real nice service grade Springfield.

ETA: And that’s for Creedmoor new, unfired Hornady brass and bullet. Not some old milsup.
right no lame excuse to buy.....but holy shit do I hear some lame excuses not to shoot. To heavy , to load , to long, I have to lay down? My rifle is only zeroed for 50 yards ......I think we need a 'WTF Is Wrong With NES' thread to rival the Florida thread.
First it was basement trolls criticizing a hot Latina facing a robbery with a gun. Now we have obvious Maura plants criticizing excuses to buy a gun.
There is no such thing as a lame excuse to buy a gun.
Good gawd, I should just give up and join a more intellectual forum like arf-com.
That sucks. I ordered a case of 30-06 in March in anticipation for my first SG M1 Garand. I got it in July and still haven't shot it. Oh well.Link to the CMP M2 ball? I don't see it.
But still, $.92/round is NOT CHEAP for any reasonable caliber. Doesn't matter if it's 5.56 or 30-06.
The M1 isn't a good buy right now.

How is FG $650, SG $750 expensive? It's a f***ing M1 Garand. I'd pay $1k for one.

Shit, I could be wrong. If 30-06 from the CMP is cheap (and almost $1/round isn't cheap), then go nuts. I don't see it on their online store.
My point, really, is that this isn't "THE time to buy an M1." That's long past. Do whatever the f*** you want though. All's good.
Creedmoor/CMP 30-06 M2 Ball 150 GR 200 RD CASE
Here’s the link to the CMP M2 ball for anyone interested. $184 for 200 round case. And this is match grade ammo.

You can never be too rich, too thin or have too many Garands.This thread has me thinking it's time to add a couple more to the collection.
