Picked up a sweeeeeeeeet M1 Garand

[CanadianAR]

Just kidding, its an effing tragedy. Just a damn disaster. Came in a collection I acquired to store and liquidate. I had NOTHING to do with it. It was a beauty Springfield M1 lock bar sights etc, now it features a sporter stock, buffed and blued, as well as polished. Such a waste. Yeah the gas tube and bolt are chrome!

Well I can honestly say I have never seen a Garand like that. I'll go as far as to call it unique.

 

[CanadianAR]

Unique is putting it mildly.

 

[Claven2]

It's restorable... just.

 

[Desert_Fox]

Someone spent a pretty penny to fit that Mannlicher stock....

Not my cup 'o' tea... but I am sure it was someone's pride and joy!

 

[geologist]

The horror.

The horror.

[CanadianAR]

Its a damn shame.

I hope that there were more interesting pieces in this collection to make this exercise worthwhile..otherwise why bother?

Ugly or not I'd still keep it in the safe. Would make a nice resto project.

 

[DaveM]

I kinda like it. And your socks too... nice socks.

 

[jody_v]

I think I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing this............

 

[AdamP]

Ouch. At least it's fixable, though!

Here's the first line for your WTS ad for it:

For the Discriminating Gent, Classic Gun Collector and Tea Toddler, a very fine example of a Rare John Cantius Garand Limited Edition Sporting Rifle...
