Speaking of this I’ve been wanting to get my dad a Garand as it’s one of the guns he’s always talked about but never bought himself.

Anyone have any leads on a ww2 era Springfield in decent shooting condition?

Buy one from the CMP. You can get a service grade shooter for around $800, last I checked.

Definitely go the CMP route if you aren't dead set on a WWII Springfield. The CMP is awesome to work with and a great organization to be a part of. Everybody should own a CMP M1 garand.

If you are dead set on a WWII Springfield, you should probably go to one of the cmp stores in person and shop there. Buying one is a bit of a process, but that's the only way you'll be able to put your eyes and hands on what you'd be buying. Ordering one is kind of a crapshoot, but the actual rifle that's delivered seems to very often exceed the quality of the description.

Ordering anything specific when it comes to a garand outside of CMP means big $$$ and more risk of getting a clapped out hunk of shite.
