Nice looking rifle with the been there look. Checked out the RTI prices on M1 carbines-ouch! The Garand prices varied a lot. Search for these on Gunbroker and compare. Some are fixed price and others are auction. Just another option.
Just a note: Ammo for Garands has a certain pressure curve.

I bought a CMP Garand from a gun show table many years ago. The guy had the paperwork from CMP. So glad I got it when they were very affordable.

Ordered 1,000 rounds of ammo from CMP for some ridiculous price like $250. Came in 4 ammo cans enclosed in a wooden/wire case. Still working on it.

Big point there.

Like I said, I used S&B 30.06 ammo specifically for the Garand. PPU also makes specific ammo, and it's labeled. Surplus ammo is getting hard to come by, and last I saw was no cheaper than those (and those were the 2 cheapest new manufactured ammo brands I could find). I've gone to several sites, and those are the 2 recommended affordable choices.

This is what I got


This is the PPU
