    They are valued as historic cool guns and are fun to shoot. If you get a WWII serial numbered gun It may have actually fought in a war. You can't get an AR with those qualifications.

    I wouldn't take one hunting though, and they are now out of the mainstream for competition, except for Garand or wartime type shoots.

    It's a big, sometimes awkward rifle but as a collector I can't imagine NOT owning one or more. I have a few but I shoot them about as much as my '03 Springfields which isn't very often.

    I enjoy owning most of my WWI and WWII firearms more than I enjoy shooting them.

    I had one for many years. Truly, I loved that rifle. Of ALL rifles Ive ever fired in my life...I cant explain it..its just the most pointable, natural feeling, easy to hit with Ive ever owned. Just for me, the ergonomics and size just fit me to a T. I know, crazy I am.
    Powerful, hard hitting, mine was accurate to the 400 yards out I shot it regularly...I do have a soft spot for the gun. ill get another...one day.

    Its a cool gun, but I don't own one and probably won't, unless someone gifts me a winning lottery ticket. It just doesn't have the financial priority that modern weapons have for me. Plus I no longer stock 30-06 or .308, so it would add to my logistics. If I had one I would never sell it, though. Kinda like my 1911.

    I have a couple of buddies that are gaga for M1's.

    I used to own one. It was a great rifle to shoot, it just felt extremely satisfying to shoot. However, I sold it to focus on feeding and training on more practical firearms. If I ever hit the lottery, I would pick one up again but right now, I’m good.
