I recently purchaced one of the new Springfield M1 Garands at a local Sportsman store in Boise Idaho. I paid $799.00. The receiver is a Breda #1873. The rifle has all SA parts and a new Springfield barrel. According to an Email I received from a Springfield rep there were only 400 Breda receivers used. These receivers are forged, the rest of the receivers are a cast receiver. I know alot of you paid far less for a CMP rifle but when I saw this rifle in brand new condition I felt the price was worth it. I waited several days before putting any rounds through it. It was almst too beautiful to shoot, almost like having a new baby.
Just thought I would share the info.:assult:
