A friend invited me to accompany him to a location in Vermont -- about a 3 1/2hr drive -- where a bunch of CMP Garand rifles will be purveyed. Not at all savvy as to what I should buy -- or, better, stay away from -- I'm hoping one or more of you really knowledgeable persons might provide me some guidance, or, a buying tip or two? The sale date is 22 September... so there is a bit of time for research. I indicated to him I'd love a Beretta, or a "corn chopper" model (IHC) -- but, he indicated last year there were none of these offered. Most all were Springfields in "all sorts of condition", with a very few "beat-up" H&R's. Hence, my inquiry.... I've been yearning to purchase an M1 Garand for quite some time.
Thank you in advance!
