Got myself a new gun: The M1 Garand Paid $1,700 for it. Did I overpay?

Depends on where you are, what the internals look like, and who made it.

Tl:dr Probably, but maybe not.

>>35084151
Are you Canadian? If so, thats about the right price.

>>35084151
Missed the boat
My six figure serial Springfield was 650$ when I got it from the cmp two years ago.

>>35084166
Springfield made it and the internals look really good from what i can see. what should i look for when inspecting the internals?

>>35084170
nope. American

Over pay.
I get them for 700

Ah, I see you live in Fantasyland.

>>35084196
Wow. i know cmp would have cheap ones but id didnt wanna have to go through all bs getting it online and stuff. I got mine from a very well known pawn shop in my city

>>35084260
>join garand collector's club, pay $25
>buy rifle

wow that was hard

>>35084260
Bs? Its literally like ordering shit from Amazon the CMP ships to your door

>>35084288
I dunno bro, that notarizing needed too was pretty tough to get done.
That FedEx office that did it and I mailed my packet off at in the same visit was kinda busy at the time.
Longest 15 minutes of my life

>>35084328
Most banks can do that for you, call your local branch and see if they have a notery

>>35084256
Upper midwest.
Cmp purchases. Get on my level

>>35084346
yep

>>35084151
CMP ones in that condition or better go for $730

>>35084228
Lmao that's awful then unless Truman came on it

Until CMP runs dry any Garand over 1,000 is overpriced

>>35084151
I got a garand for 1900 with bayonet, 10 clips and clip belt, including shipping. And a sling.

But I'm a fucking leaf.

you got buttraped (barring a diamond)
but better to have a garand than want one and not have one

and pray to the cube that the ones in Korea never make their way to the civilian market

Such a fucking tough life dude. It's like missing out on real estate
