The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has a new batch of 7.62 NATO Garand rifles for sale to qualified purchasers.These rifles came from US Navy stores.Let’s check these unique rifles out.CMP @ TFB:
Whew, that’s a big price tag for what might essentially be a wall hanger. They’re too common to be an “investment”, too worn to be a reliable shooter (in the case of the mod1s), so all you can really do is appreciate them as history. I don’t think I could justify either version’s price even if I had infinite money.
Yeah, I know the mod1s are usable as firearms. But they’ll be showing their age and usage in little ways that make them less than ideal as something to shoot regularly. They’d be limited to casual target shooting at most, imo. You couldn’t expect great accuracy at all.
I dunno, maybe I’m just too picky, but if I want a range plinker, I can’t see paying that much.
