What's up /k/, I live in Commiefornia and was thinking that until all the communist laws here get overturned, I was eyeing at finding an M1 Garand to own in the meantime, what's the /k/onsensus on this? Pic unrelated obviously

Are you asking whether or not buying an M1 Garand is a good idea?
>>33333141
If you're in NorCal, there's a rack full of them sitting at Elite Armory in Castro Valley. They're ex-CMP rifles that Elite got their hands on when they bought out the collection of the Chabot Gun Club after that shut down. They're asking $100-1200 apiece for them.
If you just want something CA-legal, an SKS or a Mini 14 are good options.
Get a Garand. It's a little piece of history. I enjoy shooting them, when I get the chance. They are beautiful rifles. I like the carbine too. >.<

Or consider a M1A Springfield.
Also pretty guns imo
>>33333203
$1000-1200 apiece for them, I mean. Didn't mean to get you too excited there.
>>33333215
Eh, its not the price, I figured that until we can own uncucked stuff here, might as well own a nice piece of americana while I'm at it.
>>33333215
Too bad Garands aren't 100 bucks then /k/ could stop drooling over their shit Nuggets, Sks' and Svt's. We could have a new milsurp that could be worthy. Fuck the commies
>>33333268
I still need an SVT-40
>>33333203
what grade are they? might be worth the drive if they're service grade
>>33333141
Buy it man.
Given the choice between an AR-15 and Garand, considering I didnt have either so far, I'm buying the garand first. Every fucking time.
I understand money would be an object in some cases, but pretend its not....
>>33333299
Then get one you commie fuck. ^.^
What's stopping ya?
>>33333341
I have multiples of both and would add a garand before I add an AR or M1A.
>>33333384
mah nigga
>>33333300
These dubs say you need a Garand Reguardless.
Look at it!
>>33333376
Have to find one first. I'm not some dirty syrup drinking poutine muncher so they are few and far between.
>>33333300
Nice numbers.
I don't know how to grade rifles. They look in good shape to me, though they do have big CMP stickers on the stocks, which I think just adds to the charm. If you want a collector's rifle, there's an absolutely immaculate Garand at Setterarms in Walnut Creek, but he wants $1800 for it.
>>33333429
We'll since you really want one, I wish you magic internets luck on fining one anon. I hope it makes all your dreams and fantasies come true. I personally prefer the Gehwer 43. Would like to have one some day...
>>33333203
>$100-1200 apiece
I'm assuming you meant $1000-$1200 or I'm fucking driving to california
>>33333459
meant the CMP grades
http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/m1-garand/
if they're field grade I'd just wait for the CMP to put them back up for sale

Hate to be an asshole, but anon already corrected himself. If you would use your eyeballs.
Also, Drive to Commiefornia for no reason at all and do peyote in the desert.
