I just pickup today this 7.62 Nato Garand from a Rockville gunshop. I believe to be a Navy trophy rifles issued to participants in the Navy sponsored matches or maybe not. When I purchased it I did not know exactly what I had until I brought it home and reviewed the "The M1 Garand Rifle" book by Bruce N Canfield. I also called Ken792 last night and he game me good info.
The stock has been refinished and coated with barnish and I can't find any inspection stamps on the stock. The buttplate is full of wax. Does anyone know what was the wax for? Are these rifles collectiable and what is a reasonable value?
Please feel free to correct my information.
