CMP M1 Garand unboxing

[Buffalo Dude]

Got here today, it looks pretty amazing.

Serial dates it to June 1943. Looks to be nearly all SA parts with USGI wood.










Difficult to see in the picture, but eagle cartouche. Looks like USGI wood, between June 1953-1957












Interestingly, gas plug is stamped IHC. International Harvester Corporation?

Beautiful

Yeah, gas plug is International Harvester, subcontracted through "NHC". which, if memory serves is New Haven Clock, but dont quote me on that.

Interesting little piece. I'll replace it with a ported gas plug anyway, but I love unique pieces like this.

Play nice...

What grade is that?

It's a service grade. I have another M1 from Dupage Trading that is in a little bit better shape, but costs a little more.

[Buffalo Dude]

Yes, another rare 1 of 6.8 million M1 garands.

But it's the only one with THIS serial number in this exact configuration.

[gotshotgun?]

I'll give ya $675 for it...

[Standard]

Yes, another rare 1 of 6.8 million M1 garands.

He definitely should get something rare like an AK or AR.

BTW, where did anyone claim Garands were rare? Why are you in this thread?

[Buffalo Dude]
