M1 Garand - I think I overpaid.

[Eurodriver]

Thanks guys. I will definitely pay it forward. My subject line was sarcasm, I felt like I got an amazing deal but you never really know, and there’s always someone on the internet that can get xxx gun for $250 in mint condition “all day long”

The first time I got it home I put an empty clip in it, close the bolt, and racked it back.

PING

and yes. I giggled like a little school girl. Then I cleared my house with it pretending like there had to be a Nazi or a Jap around every corner. Amazing rifle. Very very fortunate to own something like this.

I think you did great, and it's a beauty to boot! I got back into an M1 myself right before Christmas finally after a few years without one. Agree on every American male at least shooting if not owning one. My first center fire rifle experience was my uncles M1, he carried one ashore on Dday and all the way through into Germany. I'll never let this one go, and good on the ammo too it's not as easy to snag now versus 5 years ago it seems.

You got a good deal, on a great rifle. Congrats!

[RMiller]

You stole it.

Good buy.

My sarcasm meter went up when i read the title. Hell of a deal. My all time favorite rifle, enjoy it!

[thebarracuda]

Awesome deal. I love the "ping" of freedom.

Until Korea, Chesty actually was more fond of the M1 Carbine. And the Marines on Guadalcanal got Garands as quick as they could after landing, often by outright stealing them from the Army.

Y'do have to get an M1905 bayonet for it, though. Gotta have 16 inches of cold steel on the end of your rifle when you're facing down banzai charges and maintain parity against Arisakas with bayonets fixed.

Anyone know anything about 270 win Garands?
