mdk0911 Posted September 18, 2014 Share #15 Posted September 18, 2014 sweet guns!! - I have both (my Garand in dated 1943 and my inland carbine 1944) and they are great to shoot at the range. Also people at the range ALWAYS want to look at these 2 iconic guns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCR79 Posted September 18, 2014 Share #16 Posted September 18, 2014 I always like seeing the Springfield Armory produced M1's - My Father grew up near the Armory and my Grandfather sold machine tools to the Armory - And my Great Aunt who is 96 was an Inspector at the Armory during WWII Thanks for showing - It should last 70++++ more years because they just don't make them like they used to!!

m1ashooter Posted September 18, 2014 Share #19 Posted September 18, 2014 I let my M1 do my talking. Nice rifle. How does she shoot? What shape is the barrel in with a 1944 date on it? Mine was rebarreled in 54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1563621 Posted September 18, 2014 Share #20 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice M1! Just finishing a correct WRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share #21 Posted September 18, 2014 Barrel is still good. I never fire any of my WW2 collectables. I let my M1 do my talking. Nice rifle. How does she shoot? What shape is the barrel in with a 1944 date on it? Mine was rebarreled in 54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share #22 Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I will probably just put them back into the case. I have also been thinking of putting them on Gunbroker along with the USGI Ordnance Colt Detective Specials but then think about how difficult it is to find them in good condtion. Before that happens, I will have to research values. (not a FS ad!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
