Just bought an H&R M1 at the show this weekend. I've been wanting another M1 for years.

Here's a few pics:

I think the scuff marks on the stock actually add to the visual appeal of the gun. Very nice indeed. When I'm ready to buy a rifle this one is on the top of my list.

I agree Bribo. It's a really great looking gun. I'd love to have that on my wall.

If your interested Ab I have a couple of gunsmithing videos, the 1965 field manual and the original manual for the Garand.

For fun, the military practice targets for that rifle are attached. They are .pdf files reduced for 100 yards, and you can print them on your PC on regular paper.

In regulation:
200 yd = standing and sitting
300 yd = prone rapid fire
600 yd = prone slow fire.

alternatively

200 yard regulation is "SR".
300 yard regulation is "SR-3C", overlaid onto "SR"

Hmm.. attachments aren't working. trying again.

Thanks, Clay ... nice targets. I will print some out for the range next weekend.
