There is at least one H&R for sale in the classifieds. In my opinion they made the nicest M1's

"Deavis" is on target and I believe the CMP is the best "bang" for your buck, but when you buy from them it is sight unseen. It's sort of a crap shoot getting one with a serial number prior to or during WWII. USGI Garands were produced until late 1956 I believe, well after the Korean War. This link has some good info on production years and manufacturer's.USrifle30m1.com

I have been happy with the service grade Garand's I have bought from them in the past.

thanks I've been trying
Even the prerequisites like joining the Garand Collectors that I did two weeks ago takes 6 weeks just to get my membership number to apply to Cmp
I'll be another year older by the time I'm eligible

I tried yesterday to buy a Garand
Soon as I asked the dealer about it he called the person who had been sitting on the fence about buying it and sold it out from under me
The hr I think has a throat erosion of 4 as I recall . I was hoping to get something that would last a bit longer
But thank u
I appreciate you letting me know

I believe the GCA syncs their member data with the CMP, so it might take up to 6 weeks to get your member card but you should get a member number within day, keep in mind it has been 10 + years since I went through the entire process so my recollection may be off.

Your right on the data share
I talked to a guy at the GCA two days ago
And explained what I was trying to do
He told me it would be 6 weeks till I got my member packet and number
I should of asked if I got a number as soon as I paid to join , didn't think of that and he didn't offer . I'll try tomorrow
Thank you for helping me

CMP backlog from time they receive orders right now is 2-3 months. I have seen it as short as a couple weeks, but times have changed. If you go to their forum they have a section where user's submit their timelines and that will give you a ball park for an ETA. Order Timeline CMP

I put in my order months ago. Lost track now, probably October? Maybe November....? Anyway, haven't heard bubkis from them and I know I provided all appropriate forms/IDs, etc. Hopefully I'll hear from them before next October because they don't seem to want to talk to me when I initiate.

Good luck on your search!

Are you looking for a shooter or other.
Have a Winchester Garand, Inland carbine. Both are original per makers. Price wise somewhere in the $2500- $3000 range for both and more so with ammo and extras.
A shooter would be close to $800 give or take.
