I'm looking for an M1 Garand. I just want it bone stock and I absolutely do not care about collector value, but I do want a good bore, headspace, etc. IOW, a shooter but not a collector.
I see shooters built from mix n' match parts advertised for $400 and less--but are these really dependable shooters? Does it make a big difference from whom I buy? Who do you recommend? I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, I'm looking for the best deal in terms of what I get for my money. I'd love to stay under $400, like to stay under $500 and really prefer to stay under $600 at most--if I can't get a decent Garand to shoot for less than $600 I'll turn my attention elsewhere until my salary situation improves. Anything else is going to take much longer to save up for. Thanks.
