There is a long wait for the big backlog. They have been going overtime since the election. Good product though.
I have a Saginaw.
Mfg date Sept, 1943 stamped on the barrel.
Nice little gun.
I’m surprised that Obama didn’t order these guns destroyed rather than put them into the hands of law abiding citizens.
bump
My father and I both got M1 Garands from cmp ( was called DCM)
I want one anyway.
Bump.
Bump for Later
South Korea discovered thousands of M1 and Cardines that were stored and they figure the worth in the millions. I believe I read it of FR a couple of days ago.
Soldiers rarely used the full distance of the M-1 Garand. The M-1 Carbine provided a good deal of short range firepower that was very useful during maneuver.
I think it got a bad rep in Korea, when a bunch of guys WHO MISSED said that the M-1 Carbine wouldn’t punch through the North Korean’s multi-layered clothing. Sure, if they’d been wrapping themselves in phone books.
i think i’ll just grab a ruger mini-14 with a composite stock.
I am still pissed off they didn’t make the M1 Carbine in .45 ACP and able to take Thompson mags. I have never wanted one but I would have loved to own one in .45. Dang it! Is conversion to .45 even possible?
Of course, not nearly as furious as when I think about all the surplus arms that monster Clinton had scrapped, melted down and destroyed during his reign of terror. Thousands and thousansd of Garands, Carbines, ‘03s, 1911s. Dirty rotten $#@%$#@!!!!!!111
any CMP links?
