I didn't look to see what year it was stamped with or anything other than the price. Next time I'm there I'll do a more thorough inspection and ask about some details. If it is WWII era for sure then it's coming home with me.

The M1A would also be nice, but since I am pretty sure it is a new one it has less value to me as an historical piece and would be more "just because."
Argh....I remember hanging out in a local gun shop in North Carolina in 1985 and they had a wooden barrel full of WWII era M1 Garands for $85! And new M1 carbines were going for $125. I wish I had bought the whole barrel.
