This baby was waiting on my doorstep for me when I got home yesterday (I love my C&R). The barrel appears pretty worn but she'll get a match barrel and a new CMP Boyd's stock over the winter to make her a real shooter. We'll see how it shoots tomorrow at the swamps.

Those are the seller's pictures, I haven't had a chance to take any of my own yet.

I want one of these so bad..... Just sent out my C&R app today.

What a beauty I've been dying to get my hands on one

[thughes]

Call in sick tomorrow buddy, we'll be shooting this thing at the swamps in the morning......

Is the barrel and stock original to the gun? Bc if they are don't change a thing!

Yes they are.

I shoot CMP matches and the sloppy old worn out wood kills most of the accuracy the gun might have....add that to the shot out barrel and it's almost useless. The original parts will be preserved to retain the value and collectability (I'm not a butcher) but without replacing the barrel and the sloppy old stock it will be nothing more than an old worn out wall hanger that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I believe these old girls should be used for shooting, not decorations.

Nice rifle, congrats.

I have seen Mosin's bedded into old stocks using accuglass from Brownells to improve the accuracy & retain original parts.
Just a thought.

CMP rules don't allow glass bedding.

I put the '55 in the new Boyds stock and left this '44 as is.

+1 on tha C&R comment. Congrats!! For a '44 the parkerization looks real nice from the pics. Should do a NYF M1 Garand shoot one day. Or at least an NYF C&R firearms only shoot. Any folks near Orange county area?

Good call!

 

[Sasquatch]

[pappasue]

Nice looking garand, lots of character.
