When I got out of the Army in '78 I went to the Woolworths at the local mall for something and they had 3 circular racks with at least a dozen M1 Garands on each one.
If memory serves they were asking between $125 and $175 for them. I should have picked up a couple but I didn't.
A different USA, never to return, I'm afraid.
Well at least we saw it, and no one was harmed.
My dear old Mother is still using an M1 Carbine bayonet to weed the tomato’s!
MAGA!
My 1st gun was an M1 Carbine, $125 cash at the Scottish Rite Temple.
Still have it.
