The M-1 is too heavy for the lazy pants down thugs to tote...not to mention most of them are too stupid to figure out how to reload without losing a finger....now the carbine is another matter...sweet little weapon..

Under a lame duck congress post-November, you think we’ll see another assault weapons ban?

Keep it up Zero, yer making our efforts to kick you out of office that much easier. Note to self...Obama and family seem to be taking advantage of vacation travel on the government debt in a rapid fire sort of way.
Perhaps the family is wise to coming events?

yeah and the 30-06 Springfield cartridge will make the homy boys cry out its too big of a kick.
The M1 is excellent for rural home defense,and for hunting as well, it will drop every N. American animal worth eating.
Now my choice being a slightly more modern version is the M1A with its .308 my personal favorite.
Its a mans gun from the days of making every round count and not this prat and spray stuff.

To: NativeNewYorker
There are still M1’s that can be purchased in the states. Most gun shows have vendors that are still selling them. What this tur* has done is caused the price of one to increase.
I pray that this joke is a one termer!!!

Greece had a big sale of M-1 Garands just about a year ago, and was fetching $500 a copy for mostly unfired, or fired very little weapons, many still in the original packaging. I recall some fellow posting pictures of the one he got for five hundred bucks when mint condition Garands were easily fetching a Grand or so a copy.
I hope these hit the market all at once and drive the prices way down. It would be nice to have one of these in the closet, not necessarily for me, but for the guy next door who shows up empty handed when TSHTF...
These all fire 30.06 Winchester, correct??

You do realize tht the M-1A (M-14) is an updated version of the M-1? The M14 cures the en bloc clip problem, uses the more modern version of the 30-06 cartridge, thereby providing the same firepower in a lighter cartridge housed in a larger capacity, quickly exchanged magazine, in the same overall package.....John Gerand was a consultant on the M=1 / M-14 redesign team......
FWIW I’ll take the M-14/M1A over the M-1 hands down......

Arrogant closet-case Muzzie prick. This is a Pearl Harbor on the 2nd Amendment by going after the C&R market, and you betchum it won't stop there. Not that M-1's are dirt cheap (and they're beautiful long guns), but C&R (curio and relic) weapons are the working man's way of building an impressive, functional collection without re-mortgaging the house. C&R's aren't your average Saturday Night Specials - many were first-line weapons of their era, and ammo is not only still in production, but plentiful and inexpensive. The Soviet Mosin-Nagant 91/30 is a prime example, and can still be had as an arsenal refurb for under $100. Bolt action, sure, but it chambers a 7.62x54r load that could blow the tread off a Panzer tank in it's day. They weren't called the Baltic Flamethrower for nothing.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

We both came out of it unscathed but all the contents of the boat was lost in that spring fed 500' deep mine pit full of water. ; )
