M1 garand prices?

I see some new ones on spingfield amory for $1,339$ but, can you find M1 garands in gun shows at california. And do you know when the next show will be.

yes, you can get old war horses for much less than a springfield armory fancy job.

check out the CMP, Civilian Marksmanship Program http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/m1garand.htm
You have to join some clubs, but the list is as long as your arm, and there are a ton in every state, otherwise you can simply join http://www.thegca.org/images/GCAMemApp.pdf.pdf for $25 and then go to the local range and have the rangemaster observe you and sign this form
http://www.odcmp.com/Forms/marksmanship.pdf
or your hunter's education card will work too.

Then get a Service Grade gun for $600

I just got my service grade M1 Garand from the CMP. It's receiver and barrel look almost new, and the bore is fantastic. It wears a new birch stock that matches the other wood very well. Although it took a while to get, the CMP is a very good place to get one from. At this time, they also have M1 Carbines.

About the thumbs down, I think there are anti-hunting, anti-gun trolls that routinely go through this section and give everyone a thumbs down. Maybe some day, these people will get a life.

Not sure why someone gave akluis a thumbs down other than ignorance. ODCMP better known as the civilian marksmanship program was established by congress and offers wonderful deals on M1s. You probably can not find a better deal at a gun show.
Also check out http://www.creedmoorsports.com, many times ODCMP uses them as an outlet and you don't have to jump through all of the hoops as going directly through ODCMP
