Need some assistance.
I'm looking at an M1 at a local dealer, but I'm not well-versed in the Garand itself. Is there any other particulars to look at other than throat and muzzle gauge numbers? The physical condition is great compared to others I have seen for sale, just trying to make sure I'm making the right move. Seller's description is below...
"Springfield M1 Garand. WW II era receiver made in 1943. Springfield 1-44 barrel. 30-06. Good to Very Good wood. Very Good to Excellent Metal. Perfect bore except for very light pitting towards the muzzle. Serial number 2,511,XXX. No Import Marks."
Selling price is $799, which seems very good. Garand experts let me know what you think...
