All I know is that Turnbull has been around quite a while and does a good business, so there are a lot of people that will pay for a weapon such as this. No one seems to have a problem with a...

A decision was made in March 1942 that all .30-cal. arms be allotted to the U.S. Army. Transfers under the "Lend Lease Act" were officially terminated at the end of June 1942. (Scott Duff, "Garands...

In regards to the picture posted in this thread as "Korea" by "5MadFarmers", Scott Duff used this photo in his article "Garands in the Kings Service" (American Rifleman Apr. 2002). Scott states in...

I would agree with you if there is enough negative feedback to see a pattern developing but in the case of this seller, 100 positive and 0 negative in last 12 months, all looked good.

Guess that also tells you not to BUY G.B. feedback. Looking at the feedback I would have felt fairly safe dealing with him. Thanks for the heads up.

The receiver is clearly marked as a 1964 LEAD rebuild. He said "The owner’s father, who lived in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, inspected this rifle at Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) and was able to purchase...

Looks like it was a long channel GHS that was on a rifle that went through a rebuild. If I am right it would have been better to have left it as it was rather than messing it up with fake stamps.

maybe the Navy rifles were demils

They really need to remove the word "CORRECT". CMP should know better than that.

The fact that the stock is glass bedded and trigger appears to have been worked on leads me to believe that it was built as a match rifle by someone other than SA. Civilian shooter or maybe military....

Why would you have to "proof fire" a rifle because of a new stock ? As far as a fake cartouche or any repro part, there is no good excuse. Even if you have no intention of trying to pass it off as...

U.S. Rifle Cal. .30M1, serial number 4380578, issued to me at PISC Apr. 1956

They still provide that service but only have SOME of the old DCM sales records. As I understand it, rifles such as yours, that were purchased at Perry, a "Cash Sales" receipt was given the buyer....

Herschel, That provenance will sure mean a lot to a future collector. Thanks again for the help you gave me in regards to my 1957 match. Joe

There is no match in my SRS books or in Bruce Canfield's but this doesn't rule anything out. The SRS records do not include DCM sales rifles. It is what it is. A beautiful Type 2 NM rifle in 1960...

Your rifle could have been a Type 1 rebuilt between late 1959 and early summer of 1960 to Type 2 configuration, or it could have been built new, during this time period, using a receiver on hand. In...

That's for sure. Hershel said " "Being a shooter I wanted the best rifle for shooting so I paid an Army armorer $ 40.00 to glass bed it in about 1961 or 1962. Little did I know that the $ 40.00 glass...

Tim, The picture of the 1960 code on my rifle is decent. Guess I should have used mine. lol

He use to. I have a Type 1 purchased following the 1957 National Matches by an Army M/Sgt that had competed in the 1957 match's using that rifle. I had a copy of the "Cash Sales" slip documenting the...

It should Tim. The picture of your barrel is a lot clearer than the picture of mine. lol
According to Bob Seijas it was in late 1958 that SA ran out of barrels. Seijas further states " In 1959...

At one time it may have been a "genuine Type II Garand NM rifle" but it is no longer in correct configuration for any Type 2. If it was a Type 1 it would not be that early. Earliest it could be would...

Nice, you should add these pictures to the ones you posted on CMP. Will clear up a few questions a few, well one person, had.

The following should answer the OP's question. Read Q&A # 7 - https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs/0501-firearms-top-10-qaspdf/download

When shipping a long gun through the U.S. Postal Service I have never been asked if I had either a class 1 FFL or C&R FFL or even if the receiving party had a FFL of any kind. I am not saying this is...

I agree that your prices are very fair.
