My new M1s

[md66948]

I bought an M1 Garand with lots of clipped 30-06 and 30 cal. carbine ammunition from a Great Friend of mine. He got this M1 Garand from the CMP in the very early 90s. He shot it one time since his purchase. It has a pre-WWII receiver with a SA 5 44 barrel that appears to be New. I have not gauged it.

The next day I picked up a Winchester M1 Carbine from my FFL that I got in a trade. It is in Excellent condition.

I am now in the process of cleaning/lubing these two new M1s.

Good stuff, congratulations!

Both excellent guns! Nice score!

Congrats on your purchases....both great guns..... On the Garand, if you have some M2 ball ammo you can take a round and gently place the bullet into the muzzle end of the barrel and get a rough idea of the bore condition ( old timers method )....if it fits in the barrel almost all the way you have a worn barrel...

I had a few CMP Garands back in the day and it's amazing how good some of them were

Kind of fond of the M1s myself, both the Garand and Carbine.

I would like to have a M1. Those are very neat looking firearms. Congrats

Congratulations on your recent additions. I've got a 1941 Winchester Garand and a 1942 Winchester Carbine myself and they are really great shooters…if they could talk I'm sure they'd have some great stories to tell. Also have a M1A, it is a Springfield Glenn Nelson super match and talk about a tack driver, not that I'm trying to put any ideas in your head, but since you have the MG in your picture I had to point out you are missing one piece to complete the set LOL. Wish I could afford to add a 1919 to my lineup

That is a Semi auto Ohio Ordnance M240. It is made with all FN parts with a closed bolt.

I have one from CMP. Love it.

I also have two lend lease garands, a rebuilt Springfield from the DCM purchased in 80s and an H&R .

I think I have what you are looking for. This pic was taken when I rearranged my safes.

OMG You've got quite a collection there, I can only dream of having all those… but I do see a couple familiar faces there, IZZY HB and M1A, that's about it . But at least I have a goal now. Just remembered I've got to go fertilize the money tree out back Thanks for sharing

 

[md66948]

That is a Smith Ent. M21 not an M1A. That is a very old picture. I do have an M1A built for the late Walt Langendorfer, inventor of the first gas piston for the M16/AR-15. It was called the Rhino Device. There is also a Colt M16 laying there and a Luftwaff Red 9.

Every Nice!

Very Nice collection!

I've got a '54 International Harvester M1 Garand that looks unissued for the most part from the DCM, many years ago and an Inland mixmaster I got from the CMP

Aqualung

 

[md66948]

Back in the days of the DCM they sold rebuilt M1 s done with new parts. I must of seen 20+ DCM Garands purchased by club members and they all looked brand new. The best part they only cost $121.00 shipped.

I use to carry the M2 Carbine. Fun Gun.!

 

[md66948]

I always wanted to buy a registered M2 kit.

Nice collection.
Have a 1942 Springfield Garand and a 1955 5.7mil Springfield Garand. Two 1944 Underwood Carbines and a 1943 Remington Rand 1911.
Years ago Sportsman Guide had tins of 1943 Evansville Chrysler .45acp ammo for a good price, bought two 660 round tins from them.
Corrosive and steel case.
