For those of you who dont know the Civilian Marksmanship Program sells WWI and WWII rifles from old military stock to the American public (assuming your allowed to own a firearm, and follow their guidelines). We got our paperwork filled out in January and my dad told me back in December that we were going to their store in Port Clinton, Ohio for Spring Break and since then Ive been saving up money.
I wont bore you with all the boring gunsmithing lingo but the thing is in excellent shape with some finish wear.
I have to grease and oil some parts on the Garand and the Springfield is a mess. I have to clean all of that cosmoline (preservative oil) along with the barrel, and then oil it.
Here are the details:
1955 M1 Garand, Springfield Armory. Original barrel
1942 Springfield 1903, Remington. Original barrel
The M1 Carbine wasnt made under a military contract, it is 100% mil-spec though.
