I got a M1 Garand

[Abenaki]

I got a M1 Garand. It's in jail.

Made in 43. can't remember who made it. I think that it started with an S
Not sure. All the numbers that I could find matched. It had the stamps on the stock.

I am a shooter, not a collector.

My question is where can i get a bunch of clips for it?

I forgot this is my retirement gun.

As I was walking out the door, a guy comes running in to buy it!

It was in the store 1 day.

Take care

Congratulations on your Garand. I assume it's a Springfield if it started with an "S". I got a large lot of clips off eBay. I just checked and they still sell them.

Good luck and enjoy

There's only 1 serial number on it, on the heel of the receiver. All the other numbers are drawing numbers, if they also somehow matched that would actually be a bad thing because you don't want the barrel's drawing number to be the same as the trigger guard, etc.

Clips are available on gunbroker, typically just a few bucks each. If you don't reload, read up on "Garand-safe" ammo, and decide for yourself if a Schuster adjustable gas plug or a Garandgear ported plug are for you. If you reload, just make your own ammo and skip all that.

And embrace the PING.

This. A matching numbers US rifle isn't a thing. That's a European thing.

I got sticker shock buying en-bloc clips on ebay. Over four bucks a pop, for something I recall people weren't even picking up when I first started shooting.

Damn, I am old.....

Yep. When i was a kid, my mom?s dad told me he had a Pratt and Whitney engine medallion in a shed out back. I couldnt find it, but i do remember he had a steel 55 g drum in that shed. It was overflowing with enblocs.
