Just joined and wanted to say hi to whoever reads this. I am kinda new to guns, i have shot guns most of my life but as far as collecting i am new and i dont know everything. I have a small gun collection and want to add alot more. One of my favorite things to do is me and my brother to take a few of our hand guns and go to the range. He really never understood how fun and exciting it was until me, my mom and father bought him his own gun for christmas one year and he has been hooked ever since. So as of right now i am looking for a M1 Garand to add, wanting a earlier gun 42 to 44 but close to that would be fine. If anyone could help with some things to look for when trying to find a decent m1 garand. Thanks again.
