In 1971 someone donated 1 of 200 prototype reverse engineered "Japanese Garands -type 5" to a popular museum [ forget which one ] manufactured in 1945 they had made a couple of changes 7.7mm and 10 rd fixed mag fed with 2 of their 5rd stripper clips. Then the war ended and no more were made. Wondered if any of you had heard of them? I could be wrong about the mag being fixed.

As I don't yet have reload gear, what is the average cost now with today's primers (can't find any), bullets, powder, after your gear is paid for?

The gear will be paid for by my Lee-Enfields, have the book, read lots about it etc, and have reloaded once with a friend who retired from the Navy Marksmanship Team . ]]> M1 Garand Laufer http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/m1-garand/89656-what-lowest-average-reloading-cost-now.html http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/m1-garand/89611-garand-dummy-display-receiver-barrel.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:45:10 GMT I`m looking for a M1 Garand dummy/display receiver and a barrel for a display rifle but I can`t seem to find one.

so i loaded the clip back up and it went smoothly this time. fired the first round then the second got stuck. backed the bolt off and let it run in normally. fires, cycles, fires, stuck. rinse and repeat for the first clip. maybe it was a clip issue

next clip. first round in fine, 2nd stuck, 3rd 4th 5th 6th cycled well, 7 stuck, 8 went well.

so before i take this thing to a smith, what should i look at? when i cleaned it a month ago i had it stripped down to the basics. cleaned it well, lubed it per the CMP's manual thingy. assembled correctly. the only part i didnt strip was the bolt and im just wondering it the ejector is just old and cranky and needs to get worked a bit to loosen up. seems to me that if the ejector is stiff it wont give and bind the round as it enters the chamber. yes? no? maybe? also maybe the recoil spring needs replacing? any ideas or help would be great! ]]> M1 Garand Twitch2120 http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/m1-garand/89559-bolt-issue-maybe.html http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/m1-garand/89515-new-box-garand.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:56:55 GMT M1 Garand - Guns For Sale & Gun Auctions B"H...]]> Are they making new Garands?

on another one of my garands the number is D28291 29. I can't find out what date range this would be. Does anyone know? Im trying to figure out if it is a re weld. The receiver doesnt seem to have any of the features of one, but I'd just like to match the numbers to be sure.

I have been wanting to get a Garand for a long time but haven't been able to. This past week I finaly decided that i was going to come up with the money to get one no matter what (selling another gun, maybe) or using my xmas bonus. So I went to a couple of pawn shops to see what they had. #1-nothing,
#2-$1000, There is still a consignment place I want to check out but its a fairly long drive and I haven't had the time to go. I just want to know what the average going price is for a M1. Seems like I saw one a few months back for about $600 but the guy at the pawn shop said $1000 was about normal, of course he could have just been doing his job and trying to make a sale.
