You hit the jackpot for a shooter Buddy. I have 4 of the Service Grade rifles, all WWll builds with 2 rearsenaled in the '50's. Great shooters but one has well worn wood, another has some frosting above the wood line and so on, just what you would expect from a war horse. Yours is great, none have matching serial numbers even when new, all Garands were designed to allow any parts to be used in any gun from any manufacturer and even when being built if Winchester was getting short on trigger groups IHC might send them some, SA might send barrels to H&R and so on. You have a great rifle and with the new barrel it should be a great shooter.

Special Rack rifles are sporadically available at the CMP stores. For an outstanding shooter, they are the best value. I love mine.

Is that the ochre stitching ?

That came out amazing ❤❤

Today, 1 March my son fired the expert grade M1. As he was zeroing it, the windage was 0, the elevation needed three additional clicks up. Then, three shots; two in the 10 ring one in the nine. I joined the Army in 1956 so I trained with the Garand and it was my weapon in Korea.

It’s a rifle, not a gun.

Awesome rifle! Thank you for sharing it!

I bought a Service grade. Got it last week. I received a Springfield 3,754,000ish serial number. New stock and barrel. My receiver is in great shape. Man, I felt like a new private again, just this time I was a private in 1943.

I got service grade which is good from stock to finish. But I’d like to have an original stock.

Bloke u don't need 2 bucko buckaroo

Hope you're having a great time with your rifle. What an honor to have such a piece of history.

For 35 years I had every opportunity to pick up a Service grade, but never did even though in 1995 they were only $250. What stopped me was the marksmanship activity requirement, which ironically I have covered three different ways now. As of the end of 2021 your choices are new stock Expert grade SA or IHC for $1000 (now $1150 as of early 2022) or just recently in late 2022 a few beat up Rack grades. I think the days of decent Service grades ended right around the beginning of the pandemic in early to mid 2020, right when I could have snagged one. They recently put up some WRA Experts for $1350, but unless they get more the only way to get a Service grade with the history you’re talking about is to get one on the private market. As long as it shoots well and has an original receiver and other parts I can live with the new stock. Mine was made in Jan 1944, right in time for the D-Day invasion, and the receiver and other parts are in great shape. Thanks for sharing. Except for some slight pitting and what looks like a minor overall reduction in metal condition, you have the same rifle I bought last year for $1000.

I'm not liking how people pronounce the rifle, is not an m-1 grand,

That will make a fine shooter, and in my opinion still a decent collector, put some boiled linseed oil or tung oil on that stock cause it looks pretty dry, might take three or four coats it will bring out the colors in that stock it’s gonna make a pretty stock.

Oh yeah great to shoot! Looks very nice. I can't get over the prices for sight unseen but i bought all my garands at the Aniston store picking each. Now i have garands I don't want to wear out. Seems like shooters are more fun. I lucked into alot of great finds and miss those days.

That looks like a bargain. I was debating ordering an "expert" grade. That seems to be all that's available now.

Picked up my special rack grade 2 months ago in the North store. I couldn’t be happier with it. It has a WW2 receiver and very little pitting. The new stock was very dry, but 3 coats of boiled linseed oil and it looks great. I shot it last weekend and got it sighted in at 100 yards. This is a great piece of history and fun to shoot.

Very nice rifle mate. The stock looks pristine. Appears to be oak but not sure from here. Cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺

I can’t wait till I get my IHC, I heard they are more rare and highly collectible. I ordered mine from Royal Tiger in original condition.

Gorgeous

Might try CMP one of these days. Their overly bureaucratic process is a turn off. But when I saw their board is comprised of Democrats it made more sense.

Love all things M1 Garand. I received a special grade from CMP and it also had a new CMP stock. I didn't really like the "dry" look of the stock so I put just 2 coats of boiled linseed oil over it and it looks much nicer. The wood looks much "richer" in color.

Yours looks better than mine.

The ping was the only bad thing about the grand it gave up your position.

Love it mate! I bought 10 clips for 60 euros, a day ago! Why? to keep it in mind what am I saving for. Question where did you get yours? LooKs realy realy nice! Love it!

Video games. 🤦‍♂️

When you store them open the trigger guard as that is the pressure point that for a tight and will make your M1 shoot tighter groups you do not want that part of the stock to have a gap . My dad did basic with the M1 as he and I still enjoy shooting them

I have a service and I am glad I got it when I did. It will be a gun I never get rid of, 43 manufacture with a SA 46 barrel and all original parts.

I have a Danish rack return. Looks like the stock was used as a boat oar. I bought the same stock on your gun, very happy with it. Keep working with the oil. It will really soak it in. My barrel is an original 1943, pretty worn. I can get about 4+-MOA at 100 with it. That’s about as good as my mid 50’s eyes will allow, so I’m rolling with it. CMP rocks!

Do a follow-up! Please please How's your M1

Thanks for the second round that was good

Very nice.

My brother I like your gun and I want to order this gun in India your contact number and send this gun shop contact number my English is weak please answer And what is the price of this gun

How much do you guys pay for it?

You have a beautiful gun there. For what you want - a shooter - I think you went the right route with the new barrel and stock - love that new walnut.

Received mine from CMP second week of April special Rack grade love it wanted a shooter new stock new barrel. Looks like yours receiver is first part of June 1943 with site lock well pleased now comes the Linseed Oil looks a little Dry.

How much was it. They're selling them in that condition for $1300 At Gun Show.

Nice rifle especially with the new barrel and stock. In a shooter not a collector. But I got very lucky. I purchased two M1 rifles in the early eighties a private sale near Fort Benning were I was stationed. I served thirty years in the United States Army almost twenty in the Ranger Regiment I retired in 2010. The M1s are Springfields and original barrels they are basically new. I don't think they ever left the States. They are not imports. I purchased quite a few milsurp rifles cheap and in great condition long story but they were giving them away back then. I found out at the range the treasure I had a couple of the old timers looked at them and told me I had brand new M1 rifles. Also not to fire them anymore I was offered a lot of money for them but I won't sell. I also have a M1A, KAR98K Mauser a M1902,and a M1903A3. I reload for seven calibers five rifle and two pistol calibers and been saving ammo for years. When I saw things going south I had two big buys. Rifle ammo shotgun Ammo. I have plenty. Also a group of us share and have plns. I live in New York State so I don't have AR platforms because of the way they have to be configured or registered. I switched to Ruger Mini thirty and Mini 14 They along with the M1A all have DNA from the M1 rifle. Enjoy your rifle

Mines on the way should be here Monday! Where's the range video?

Very nice video

Beautiful rifle! Congrats. Waiting on mine can’t wait!!

You got a forged trigger assembly

How can you find a cmp club to join.

Those stocks are a deal breaker for me...will be a great shooter though I'm sure

M1 garan from the Philippines 🇵🇭 Have traces of Chinese blood 🩸. During the battle of yultong the Philippine army kills 7,000 Chinese troops in one day one night only they used m1 .

You can still tell that this a WEAPON.

I think you got lucky. The CMP website states "WILL have heavy pitting above the woodline." I'm really on the fence between one of these special racks and a service grade.

Thanks for the reply Dave

Why did you not say how much it cost???

Nice gun but to much horse shit to buy one with cmp, rather buy from Fulton armory
