er, while not wishing to be presumptuous...please before firing...assure an olde gunsmith validates the serviceability of the firearm since there could have been many 'form, fit, function' derivations w/multiple part substitutions & many non-properly trained individuals making those substitutions and making parts 'fit' so someone would 'buy' your new treasure!
i truly do not wish to be a party pooper either but...
I will say, I had to opportunity to run and gun with a Garand and found it to be just about perfection for a fighting rifle! It did have a few draw backs we don't really recogise in today' arms, but once you understand the Garand and it's requirements, it' a very simple rifle, extremely reliable, and so very accurate in the hands of a rifleman! I would proudly carry one if I ever had to, despite any flaws the design has. About the only complaint I ever had, (and discussed at great length with my GrandDad) was the 8 round clips, and the non adjustable gas system!
Now go out and get yer self M-1 Thumb, join the brother hood of the Thumb! Not, watch some YouTube videos of how to load it one handed, and it will save your thumb, but you won' have that tell tail cool manly scar! Lol
Man, an Apple Seed with a Garand would be a hoot! Lemme know if you wanna go for it, I'll bring ya a bunch of M1 Garand match ammo!Good call!
I can't wait to shoot it! If I could ever afford the ammo I'd love to shoot an Appleseed course with it.

When I get back to OryGun, a few of us are going to be doing some long range shooting, your welcome to join us, be a perfect rifle to learn with, and you get to see just how good a Garand really is! Might even let you talk me into teaching you the old school Maunal Of Arms with a Garand, make the Apple Seed even more fun for ya!
Sweet, She will serve you well! Feed her well, and care for her with loving hands! Americas Greatest achievement in the face of world domination, The single most important implement of war ever devised by man, second only to J.M. Browning's 1911, the very tools of freedom our Grand Fathers, and Fathers won against staggering odds!
Never ever sell a Garand! Something you will always regret, and if you ever complain about it being heavy, remember, My Grand Dad packed one all across Europe and would have called any one who complained about it a Pussy!
Seriously, @Joelink nice score! Now stock up on clips and good ammo, and enjoy! That's one to keep and pass on to the Grand Kids!
appleseed would be quite pricey using a M1...from What is the course of fire at an Appleseed shoot?
That's still cheaper then a Service Rifle Match! Those can see upwards of 1000 in a single weekend! Even back when we were still almost exclusivey bolt action, it wasn' uncommon to shoot through 600 rounds in two days! No matter how you look at it, it' going to cost! I say do the Apple Seed even with a .22 first, then take what you learn on up to the big bangers! Then come out to a Service Rifle match and let her rip!
btw...i'm mad now you brought up appleseed...checking dates now to go again...sigh
