    My first M1 Garand for your review

    hi guys,
    ive waited a long time for this one and had to sell one of my beloved german helmets to get it, but think its worth it. Havent torn it all down, but most is WWII. Any experts with comments would be most appreciated. Cant wait to go shoot it. serial # ,barrel, and other parts seem to be from 44. Still need to learn a lot as i said this is my first
    thanks!
    chris

                    Congrats! They are a ton of fun to shoot.

                    If you don't already know how to field strip your Garand, watch this video. It's a good step by step disassembly video.

                              Coloradocowboy, It appears your garand has its original barrel mated to original receiver......11-44 is the correct barrel date for a Springfield Armory receiver in the 3.3million range.....However, the original WW2 stock should exhibit a SA/NFR proof on the backside below the receiver.....Yours shows a square P proof on the grip which is postwar......And the triggerguard is marked W.R.A., which is Winchester instead of Springfield......Nice looking rifle.....Bodes

                              Here's a website which discusses proper serial numbers, barrel dates, and stock proofs.....
