Their website has fild grades for $650, but IMO opinion you're way better off spending $100 more and getting the service grade. The link below should take you to the pricing page.

I was in the CMP store at Camp Perry yesterday.
Rack grade Garands were at $850; they were sold out. Field and Service grades were $950 and $1055.

If we're going to get nostalgic, I bought my Garand from the DCM in the early 90s. It was $165 delivered to my door. The downside was that the background check system wasn't as sophisticated as it is now, so it took 11 months between payment and delivery.

308loader, if you were referring to me, no worries, certainly no offence taken. Even though I grew up with guns, I didn't appreciate older "pieces of history" until I was in my 50's. Now I'm addicted!

Maker
Which maker?
Dont know. I was not looking to buy and so did not check anything but the placarded prices. I was there to buy ammo. No surplus available, only Sellier and Belloit. I left empty handed. Went home and loaded some of my owm.

a symbol
When you buy a Garand from CMP (or anywhere else) you are buying an iconic rifle from the past, possibly carried in WWII, again in Korea, and some went to Vietnam as well. Literally millions of US serviceman trained and shot with them. You can hold this item in your hands, and wonder where it's been, how many recruits handled it, did it see combat? You do't buy one for purely practical purposes, you buy one to appreciate it.
Comparing this symbol of our military history to a price point poly rifle, or a contemporary tactical black rifle, (excluding the M16 family I suppose) is narrow minded. Prices.....? Our whole shooting sport seems overpriced to me these days, to the point that I do not shoot as much as I used to, or want to, because of cost. Luckily, I obtained my M1 rifles when prices were much better.....but if I wanted one, I would pay the current asking price. There will be no more M1 rifles. |
