Just curious if anyone on here owns a Garand and wanted to share pics.

I wouldn't mind owning a IHC Garand. But sadly with being the least produced contractor they get pricy. last one I seen for sale 5 years ago they wanted $2500 for it.
I’ve got a few, all DCM guns.
The pick of the litter is a January 44 build, the height of production.
It shipped to me in 91 from Anniston with the correct gas cylinder, uncut operating rod, correct receiver/barrel combo, lock bar sights and the right trigger group.
Sort of a survivor is my guess.
I added the correct stock and that’s one that doesn’t get shot.
I have a Korean era SN that needs a couple pieces to be brought to 100%
Others are WW2 vintage mix masters that are pure shooters.
I am also fortunate that I had 2 relatives that worked at the Springfield Armory, one pre WW2 and one early 60’s so it was neat to hear their perspectives when I first started collecting.
Scott Duff books are the way to learn if your looking for the detailed info.
Yes. I have a 42 Springfield and also an m14 match rifle. Anything in particular that you are looking for that I can take pics of?
My little brothers both have one. Sorry, no pictures though. they are a hoot to shoot though.
Care to share some photos sometime? Yes, Scott Duff books are the way to go. There are some errors in his books though.

Here’s a couple.
Also the Garand Collectors Association is a great resource
Nice! Yes, I'm a member.

Closest thing I ever got to an M1 was my Luxembourg FN-49. Only paid $400 for it back in 1997 then sold it fior $900 about 4 years ago.
There are a few things that are far superior over the M1. 10 shot fix mag over the 8 shot enbloc clip, and a adjustable gas valve, and the ability to shut it off with the wrench if you had the grenade launcher
I've never shot one!

These arent nearly as beat up as my Mosin was.... just saying.
Id love to own a Garand one day. Incredible firepower and accuracy for a young soldier at the time.
My Mosin’s are in relatively good condition especially for all 3 being numbers matching, 2 1943 models. The Carbine model is probably in my top 3 nicest condition weapons I currently own. With being said the Garand in the second photo I posted earlier looks like it got off the “assembly line” 5 minutes ago. They typically are better shape compared to Mosin’s since Mosin’s aren’t worth anything close to a Garand.
Pick your poison.

Meet the US mfg Mosins with their Winchester M1895 brother. New England Westinghouse and Remington 1917 on the end. All 3 ended up being in Russia and then with the Mosins in Finnish Suomi service during the continuation war 1941-44. The Winchester ended up being used in 3 wars, WWI, Russian Civil war. And then the Spanish Civil war 1936-39.
I got 2 NEWs, the Remington and the Winchester still to this day.
