I was referred to this forum by several gun savvy fellows.
I was recently gifted an M1 garand and was hoping to track down some of the history on this particular rifle.
I am unfamiliar with the maker of this rifle, Century International Arms. stamped on the left side at the forward portion of what I would call the bolt housing, (working on learning proper nomenclature) is:
The weapon Serial #
M-1 rifle Cal 30-06
Made in the USA by CAI ST Albans, VT
also stamped into the stalk are two seperate numbers on the bottom near the butt. One is a 4 digit and the other a 7.
included in the case was the flap to the box it came in from BIG 5. it says the condition is excellent. and has a price tag of 599.00
Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to figure out how to post pics of the rifle as I'm sure that would be better information than my description
