My Dream Gun Has Arrived

[AP96]

I’d like to think that every collector has a certain gun that they’ve always dreamed of owning. For me, that gun has always been the M1 Garand rifle. Thanks to a summer of saving up, I was finally able to add my dream rifle to the collection. Pictured below is my all 1944, SA-produced M1. What’s everyone’s dream surplus gun?

Nice Garand. A nice matching and original M1 Garand like yours would be near the top of my list of milsurps I want the most. Other include a matching K98, a nice all original M1 Carbine, and an Mas 49-56

 

[Dirtiestharold]

Very nice Gun. They are one of the greatest Milsurps one can own. Congratulations.

Nice looking rifle. M1's are soooo nice to shoot. Big old rifle, semi auto action, history dripping off it. I took an American goose hunter out one afternoon and let him shoot my dear old 1942 SA. "Damn! I gotta get me one of these!" were his words after shooting off a clip.

That M1 is a beauty! Once my Ishapore 2A is up and running, I'll be a happy camper.

For American rifles, I'd love to own an M1941 Johnson. But I certainly wouldn't turn down a Garand like yours!

 

[Dantone05]

Gorgeous Garand! Top choices would be a Gewehr 98, Russian Winchester 1895 ( truly a dream gun) or an M1 such as yours.

The ones that I overlooked when they were cheaper...

Nice M1, they are nice rifles. I sure hope the tyranny does not attempt to take it away

I'd like a 1805 Baker Rifle like this

I just have not found one yet.

What a fantastic looking M1, You'll fall in love very quickly! There is nothing like ringing steel at 400 yards with an M1 and .30-06. My dream surplus gun is a very early "Ram-Rod" M1903 Springfield, very rare rifle in an extinct round.

Well that or a Police Surplus Colt 601 AR15 like pic related

 

[AntekPL]

Love it! Congrats. Definetly in my top 3, along with a Polish prewar WZ-29 Karabinek and the VIS-35 prewar. Holy grails for me.

My M1 was the first gun I ever bought, and it has been by my side for many events in my life. It is truly my only never-sell firearm.

That is a very nice M1. I have to say a nice M1 is on my list for sure. I also would like Vietnam era M16 (you didn't say it had to be possible).

 

[BeaverMeat]

On a serious note... an original, matching, nice condition Czech (German) G.33/40.

​Never sell.

 

[Johnyy]

Niice. ^ I like it!

 

[student of history]

Certainly a nice looking M1. Care to post a few more photos? Is the stock GAW / NFR cartouched? Perhaps it also has an uncut 9 SA op-rod? The lock bar rear sight appears to be the type III variety which is totally correct for a 1944 vintage rifle. When time permits, I’ll post a few of mine.
