I believe this is what you are looking for. It is a late war rifle so it shouldn't be the machined variety, so IIRC this is what you are looking at. It would help if you give the receiver code so i can try to match up the waffens(dirty bird) to make it correct. I may be wrong, but hopefully someone who knows better than me will chime in. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=148114178

Apex is out, but here are some from another site. http://www.tnguns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1015

Actually there were a bunch in the new shipment the cmp got. They are sorting through all of them , and supposedly going to divide the unissued ones up between north and south so collectors have equal opportunity to get them. They are going to be on the floor in early spring next year. They just recieved a ton of ammo that is big enough to supply the cmp for a couple of years. Right now they are working on pricing and they say it should be available early next year. http://www.odcmp.org/new_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77927&SearchTerms=unissued,greek

Orest was saying on the forum that they will be divided up both north and south.

You have to bring all of your qualifing documents, but you can go and pick out the m1 that you want, and pick up your ammo. Get it the same day, no waiting 3-6 mos. And come spring they will have a bunch more hxp, and some unissued garands. http://www.odcmp.com/Photos/08/NStore/index.htmDDDDRRRROOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking to do a road trip out to the CMP north store this spring. No date yet, but setting it out far enough so we have a chance to save up and pad our bank accounts a little. Would anybody be interested in carpooling and doing a road trip this spring? Once people are show interest, we could work out the details on a specific date. For those of you who dont know how great the CMP is check out this link.... http://www.thecmp.org/northstore.htm

Howdy from Blairstown...

done!

wind gap is up in the poconos.....sorta

Ballistol oil, m-pro 7, and my trusty $5.00 electric bore cleaner. I only use 1 piece dewey rods, the jointed aluminum ones that come in the kits at walmart are junk. Those rods do more damage than good.

I love mine. It is an absolute hoot to shoot. I was having fun not going for accuracy when i shot it, but was still getting 2" groups at 100yds. If you want to try mine at cherry ridge one day just let me know when anytime in the next 2 weeks. (except saturday, going to a gunshow)

just from a gunbroker scan, it appears that average price is about $350-500. I use gunbroker as a fair price research tool most purchases. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=146596915 http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=146502518

Thanks Mr. Bob, I do appreciate it. I was not looking for insurance purposes, but just wanting to know if it is worth keeping around. My family hates the painting. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Actually it is already spoken for. Once I play with it for a little bit it is destined to be my little nephew's new deer rifle. But never fear, I am already planning on building another.

i have about $150.00 in it total. only paid $6.00 for the scope on ebay, $10.00 for the mounts, ect... a true project on the cheap!

I used acraglas on this one, but on my mosins I have used JB weld with great results. My PU has had the jb treatment and it shrunk my groups by about 2". It was done about 2 years ago, and the JB shows no sign of cracking or warping.

If you want to meet up at the ridge one day, you are more than welcome to play with my rock island. I love the thing. I have a couple of original GI's, but i dont shoot them that often. The Rock Island is a great fill-in to bring to the range.

Best of luck.. Stay safe and dont hesitate to get the hell out of dodge if it gets bad.

Yeah I only did the receiver right now. I am going to shoot it a little now when the barrel is free floated, if I don't get the results I am looking for I may just do the whole barrel. Glass bedding is really simple, just a little time consuming. The hardest part is waiting for the compound to harden.

I am looking around just to get a basic value, not true appraisal of some items that I picked up when I lived in europe. I have a 17th century painting and other items that I dont know much about, just looking for someone that kind of knows what they are looking at. I have always been curious about them, but dont know a damn thing about art.

Well I completed my ongoing project today. It started out as a yugo 24/47. Dont worry purists, it was a parts rifle with a cracked stock and none of the numbers matched, and generally beat to hell and back. If anything I saved it. I was going for the pseudo sniper look, and I think it came out good. What do you think? Tutorial with parts list coming later........ Here is what was done. Re-barreled with new unissued barrel from Numrich. Fully glass bed Polished and stoned the trigger Sent the bolt out to get bent(I know my limitations) Repaired multiple cracks in the stock Drilled and tapped for scope mounts Installed a vintage weaver kv scope
