As some of you might remember, I bought my M1 Garand from "The Garand Guy" Tony Giacobbe in Rahway last Spring. We noticed at the range a few weeks ago that my rear sight was loose. I tried bending the rear sight cover as recommended by various sites on the intraweb, and managed just to mangle it up.

 

So, gave Tony a call, told him my sad story and was able to drop by his house Monday early evening. He took a look at it, said "Yup, that's no good, and looks like someone really bent up this cover", and then proceeded to give me all new rear sight pieces and fix it perfectly. No charge, my rifle was still under warranty, even though I had clearly done some of the messing up.

 

I am super happy with my M1, and my buddy also bought one with a chrome lined barrel. He won his first service rifle match using the rifle, first time he shot it!

 

I'm going to buy another M1 in 308 from Tony in the Spring.

 

We are very lucky to have one of the leaders in M1 Garands here in NJ, so easily accessible. His website is:

+1.. my father bought a beautiful M1 from him.

Yes, I have an M1 from Tony as well. Couldn't be happier with it.
