just got my M1 Garand in this morning from the CMP

Springfield Armory 1954 production

Always wanted to own one of these beautiful rifles and finally submitted the paperwork to get it in order to commemorate the end of my 8 years of active service in the US Army Infantry with the 10th Mountain Division

planning on getting a replacement stock set that I intend to carve/wood burn my service record in [don't want to screw up the only stock i have if i mess up lol] so there will be wip pics of that project up eventually

Chamber shot included for those of the airsoft crowd, this is not airsoft, this is a authentic functioning piece of military hardware

Serial mostly blacked out cus y'all don't need to know my rifle's serial number
