This isn't a retail site that we have access to so I think it's okay to post this link to the U.S Civilian Marksmanship Program website.
http://www.thecmp.org/
These are the folks who in the U.S. sell Garands etc to citizens who qualify.
I remember couple years ago prices were a LOT lower.... so whether it's the CMP charging more, and retailers following, or the other way around, the prices on the site are probably pretty realistic for what an M1's gonna cost now and for the foreseeable future.
You'd be looking at anywhere from $500-1100 USD ... if you were in the U.S. and you qualified to buy one.
And I'm sure retailers here will be keeping these #s in mind.
