You can get a serviceable M1 for $630 from the Civllian Marksmanship Program still. On the open market, $1700 for a regular shooter grade is pretty steep. Most of the time they are in the $900-$1300 depending on the manufacturer. However, collectible Garands can go for much more than $1700 as well. A correct, as issued from the factory Winchester runs about $3500-$4000 alone.

International Harvesters go for a lot more than Winchesters do. When I worked at the CMP, I pulled about 3 Winchesters out of the sorting crates for every International.

I literally don't know what the deal with this is. I keep seeing garands over $1000 at gun shows and gun shops, even my friend bought one used on armslist, and every time i mention the CMP i just get this "what the fuck is wrong with you" look, or dead silence

Idk more for me

>>32148681
your friends are lazy idiots who can't follow simple directions in order to order from cmp.

>>32148681

It's honestly not that difficult to meet the requirements for purchasing from the CMP. People on /k/ like to make it out to be a level of red tape similiar to getting your name changed

>>32148750
Exactly. What is it again, membership to a gun organization (join the Garand collectors association they have links to, it's $20), proof of marksmanship (make a fake certificate from a fake local gun club if you're too autistic to figure this out), and a DL? Just notarize and send away...

>>32148681
Some people would rather pay almost 2,000 for a $650 rifle because they're all lazy shits who were raised with immediate gratification

>>32150336
Pretty much. It's a group formed back in the good ol' days by good ol' boys because they wanted to see Dad's rifle go to a good home with someone who can shoot it properly.

iirc a conceal carry permit is all you need as well if you dont want to deal with clubs and shit

What does this mean?

>tfw I want my rifle to match my tractor.

IH M1s are literally twice what I paid for my Win.

>tfw going to try and move to america in a few months
>only rifle I REALLY desperately want to own is an M1
>ammo is expensive
>rifle itself is expensive as tits unless you go CMP which apparently has no stock and requires me to be citizen, meaning I couldn't get one for months if not years

Wife to be's uncle apparently has one though so that's a start.

Other anons claim 30-06 is a wallet emptier. I dunno, I just shoot .22 in my current country, handled a few .223's and .30-06's before though, just never fed them from my own pocket.

not amerifat but if it's anything like my country, it just means getting a copy of the documents made that are certified as geniune (exact) copies by a trusted public servant.
