I was delighted to find this site. A few days ago email from the NRA announced 107,000 Repatriated Garands and Milsurp 1911s were on CMP Racks. This reminded me of military school in the early 1950s, when we drilled with the M1 Garand daily, but never had the chance to shoot them. I plan to buy one after all these years (decades), and while reading about them I mentioned them and the M1 carbine to my son-in-law, who had access to the M1 carbine in the Marines and remembered it fondly. We are learning more before looking for a M1 carbine, so we were very excited to find this forum.
