The following was posted on a popular, free advertising web site. Check out the third to last paragraph (cut and pasted following my intro here) where this C&R holder is offering to sell firearms to anyone. What do y'all think? I e-mailed and told him I thought he was not understanding the purpose and regulations regarding a C&R. He told me to "Frig Off." Am I missing something here?
===================================
As it's greater than 50 years old it doesn't need to pass through an FFL. I sell directly to you. No nonsense, 10 day wait, FFL fees, etc. You give me the money (no checks obviously, I give you the rifle). I copy down your driver's license info for my C&R records. You leave with the rifle. Where else in California can you get a rifle same day? And this is better than most modern rifles in my opinion.
===================================
For sale is a Winchester M1 Garand.
It's USGI in the original 30.06 caliber. If you don't already know you need to shoot M2 ball surplus or M2 ball spec ammo through this. It's not recommended to shoot modern 30.06 ammo unless it's loaded to spec. I know people do, but they're foolish...I'm just telling you what's recommended for you and your rifle. And anyway, surplus M2 ball is much cheaper than buying modern hunting ammo.
Price 850. Photos are below. I might consider trades, but it's unlikely. Since I have a C&R license I can get the things I'm interested in for less than many people think theirs are worth. But we can always see. Here's what I might be interested in... M1 Carbines (no commercial ones, only USGI), Russian SKS, Romanian SKS, Chinese SKS (only if it's a military one with a screwed barrel and milled parts, no pinned/stamped), Yugo SKS, Hakim, FN-49...maybe other C&Rs...ask me. Also possibly moderns...Stainless GP-100, AR-15 uppers (only chrome lined, no junk like Model 1), California legal FAL-type rifles, Ruger 10/22, maybe a bolt action 10/22, .357 lever gun, 12 or 20 gauge riot gun (18.5 - 22 inch barrel...prefer 870s and 590s). Well, I can't make a complete list. You could always ask me. No trades for anything other than firearms.
USGI (United States Government Issue) Garands were made by four manufacturers: Springfield Armory*, Winchester, International Harvester, and Harrington and Richardson. As you can see at the bottom Springfield Armory made the most and the other 3 much fewer.
*Springfield Armory and Springfield Armory Inc are NOT the same. Springfield Armory was a government arsenal making USGI arms. Springfield Armory Inc is a commercial outfit with no connection other than they used the same name. Sprinfield Armory Inc. makes 'new' Garands and M1As which use cast parts and are in my opinion inferior to Springfield Armory. The government Springfield Armory has not made a Garand since the 1950s. The modern Springfield Aromory Inc Garands have no collectible value while the real USGI ones are a piece of history. Ok, enough of that.
I am selling a Winchester Garand. This is fully USGI.
Receiver is Winchester.
Trigger group is Winchester.
Barrel is Springfield Armory 1953.
This rifle came from the CMP and is not import marked.
It's seen some use and the bore/muzzle are worn. Rifling is still present and it should make a decent plinker now/fun range gun. You could always have it rebarelled with a USGI contour 30.06 or .308 barrel and make it into a more accurate shooter. Fulton Armory offers this. Rifle has seen lots of wear, but as this is forged steel it's functional and useable. Or just keep as is. They aren't making anymore Garands...not any real ones anyway. Haven't since the 1950s.

Where else in California can you get a rifle same day? And this is better than most modern rifles in my opinion.
Besides, this is American military history.
Let me know if interested. Transfer only in Rohnert Park or nearby. Mapquest it before contacting me. Rohnert Park is one hour and 10 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge (on the 101). That's without traffic. Thanks
