Crap would be puting it kindly, Bullshit would be more to the point.

Isn't that price way too low for an M1-C? I say BS.

m1c's would not have a tasco, and the mount is a commercial POS,
C's have a Griffin and Howe side mount,,,

Fed Ord never built USGI M1's did they? I thought all USGI production ended in the mid 50's.

Springfield Armory, Winchester, Harrington&Richardson and International Harvester. The last M1 was manufactured in 1956.

Didn't the "C" have an M84 scope or was that the D? Lets start with an aftermarket cheekpiece, non original pronged flash hider, wrong scope, wrong mount, wrong sling and I'd bet a non period correct Garand. The seller doesn't even state the make of the Garand. I would almost bet it a mid-80's Springfield Inc. garand (not that there is anything wrong with that) for what it's worth also. I have a Springfield Inc. M1 that I purchased brand new in 1985 for $400 and I have never had a problem with her FWIW. I believe the last Garand rolled off the assembly line at Springfield in 1957.

It's a Fed Ord, and I believe those were all cast receivers.

I still can't believe someone would actually post an ad like that on a firearms site.

My 1st M1 was stolen off an airplane 20 years ago and to this day I'm pissed about that.

LMFAO! That is just hilarious!! Who wants to bet it has a shot out bore and the tasco/mount combo wont hold zero?

I'd say the rifle has never been fired in that configuration. You can tell because there's no blood, eyeball goo or brain matter dripping off the back of the scope.

Yep, a cheaper than dirt B-square scope mount. Can you believe the nerve of some people!

Begs asking him how he loads a Garand with a top-mounted scope on it...

Regular M1 with a commercial (not even period accurate) scope and a shitty mount. I'd give him $400 and I'm being kind. THis is what a REAL M1-C looks like.

You can pay easily up to 2 grand on a REAL M1C or M1D Garand.

You cannot even say hello to the seller with only 2 grand. Real Ds go for 4k and up with Cs getting into 9k and up. CMP is auctioning a C with mount only, no accessories whatsoever (no scope, no flash hider, no cheek rest, nothing) and the auction is at $7900 with more than a week left on it.

I think a complete, but true D or C clone would be more than 2 grand.

I was trying to be gentle, but yeah; you are right; real C or D Garands are high dollar price items.
