M1/Garand/What do...

[eclancy]

Hi all,
...you think has caused the M1 Garand Rifle to become such a highly collectable firearm. Under the CMP you can now buy 8 M1 Rifles per year. The Garand has always had a group of collectors but now that number has jump up in only the past few years and keeps growing. Just wonder what you guys think.

Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan gave a big boost to this generation's appreciation of the rifle and the men who carried it.

I am a fulltime RVer. I only carry the rifles in my fifth wheel trailer I feel will cause me the least amount of grief in states like the PDRK, NJ, NY, etc. The M1 rifle fits the bill for a solid semi-automatic rifle that slides in under the anti-assault weapon radars in these states.
