I have always wanted an M1 Garand. They were always out of my price range or the ones I could afford were in horrible shape. Finally everything lined up just right and I brought this beauty home. I'm so excited to take her out and let some lead fly. Found it hiding in a pawn shop in The Colony. It is a CMP H&R rifle. Brand new stock. not matching but in great shape. Serial # puts in 1952-1953. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7840/46523618265_c713ab5217_z.jpg) thumbnail by matt lollar, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7888/32497042387_187a837f56_z.jpg) IMG_2092 by matt lollar, on Flickr

Nice find. I love pawn shops. They're kind of like a garage sale.

I had one once when I was a kid. My dad sold it to buy me a 30/06. I should have been a brat and said, "No, I want both." Wanted one again ever since.

We had them when i was in the National Guard. We would go to Camp Bullis to shoot. I once shot 9 clips in a minute. Had the stock smoking in the front.Never had one to jam. A great rifle.
