I'm not sure if they are still available through the D.C.M. but I purchaced my M1 Garand for $150 by way of the NRA. You took a simple shooting test and after the papers were sent in they sent you a Garand. Granted it was the luck of the draw, but mine looked like it and never been fired. It was in 30.06 and shot 1" groups at 100 yards without adjustment. On the other hand my friends Garand looked like it won WW2 by itself and was dragged behind the truck that delivered it . If still available it might be a better and less costly way to obtain one. If made safe and you keep an eye on it I don't see why you could not display it on your MV....alan

Subject: [MV] M1 Garand

At our MV meeting last night one of the members brought an M1 he had
just purchased thru Springfield Armory thru a dealer. It was converted
to NATO and had 3 digit number painted on stock. I believe he paid 600
for it and it was rough. I couldn't see if barrel was pitted because of
light, lack of scope and he hadn't got all the cosmo out of barrel.
I've heard that Match condition in very good shape may go 1200 and would
like to know where these might be found. And wx it is a good idea to
pack these around in a parade. My initial impression is that it would be
problematic. Richard
