yep, my siblings and i all pitched in and bought my dad an M1 Garand for Christmas this year and it's got him on a WWII memorabilia buying craze as of late. now he's looking for an M1 Garand Tanker and an M1 Carbine to add to the collection. i told him next he needs a Lee Enfield, Mosin Nagant, and a Mauser M98. that M1 Garand sure is fun to shoot, the serial number puts it around early 1944. it's difficult to tell if it saw action, but considering they had to refurbish the gun and replace the stock i'd say it was probably used in some capacity, whether in training or combat... i guess we'll never really know, but i'd like to think that about 65 years ago it was in the hands of a U.S. soldier shooting at Nazis or Japs.
