I rather doubt that the market is there for a repro Garand. Most of the sales, from what I read on firearms websites, are due to nostalgia. Nice to have a collectible which can be shot.

The M1A is popular because of the box magazine and the availability of .308 ammo, as much as anything else, seems like.
