Want to buy M1 Garand

shootable bore, un-varnished and un-sanded stock, not overly compressed wood under hte trigger group, and an oprod that passes the tilt test.
 
Depends if you want it as a shooter or as a collector's piece.

If you want a shooter, then Calven2 hit the nail on the head. If you want a collector's piece I'd recommend purchasing some literature because you need to make sure that all the draw numbers are correct for your rifle's date of manufacture. Finding a nice collector's piece can be an arduous process.

what ammunition commercial for not to have a problem whit the Garand and or find ammunition to checkout in canada

commercial ammo may or may not be too good for a garand.the weight of the
bullet (around 168 grains) and the type of powder (blc2 h4895 varget).

the oprod could get bent if improper ammo is fired over a long period of time.
if you shoot a couple of boxes of commercial ammo not made for the garand
i don't think it will harm the gun much...

you can also get one of those gas plug on the EE with adjustable settings.

thank you
 
The Garands work best with 150 grain bullets. That is the original ammo weight and there is lots available commercially. Much heavier lead or magnum hunting rounds could bend the op rod.
 
there is supposed to be a commercial ammo made for the garand by american eagle
(federal).it's best to reload as you can tailor the loads with bullet weights and powders
made for the garand.
