I have about ten M1s lined up that I need to sell, so there is no point wasting any time getting them listed:

This is another of the rifles everyone likes; very good condition WWII M1 with a nice condition barrel. The wood on this particular rifle is quite nice and shows very little handling. If I was going to pick an M1 out for myself, I'd be looking at this one.

    I still have a few more Filed Grade M1s to dispose of and another has just been listed:

    This is another mid war rifle in good shape, but certainly nothing fancy. The barrel is original, has good readings and plenty of life left in it. Someone got a little carried away with a pocket knife and carved their initials into the stock...But that's why there is sandpaper [;)].

    I've got a long line of M1s that I need to keep moving out of here and I just listed another this evening:
    http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=491821553

    This is an interesting rifle. It is mid war (early 1943) and still has some of it's original parts, as well as the original barrel.

    The wood is in petty good shape and the overall condition of the rifle is very good, although I don't care for the glossy gas cylinder. One of the interesting things about the rifle is the targeting information that was taped into the bottom of the trigger housing:

    Someone was actually issued this rifle and they were shooting it regularly enough to make a notation of the needed sight adjustments. Maybe I stumbled onto Kimi's old M1 [;)]

    In any case, it is a nice WWII era rifle with the original barrel that still has plenty of life left in it, and it has some pretty good looking wood.

    I picked up three more M1s last week and I need to start moving them:

    This is a late war rifle with a nice condition WWII barrel and a pretty good looking set of USGI wood. It would meet the CMP classification of Field Grade. I just want to turn it, so I am starting the auction at the same price it would cost to buy a Field Grade M1 sight unseen for the CMP: $595. In this case you get to see what you will get ahead of time, you are assured of a WWII era rifle and you don't have to wait months for delivery.

    To kick off 2017, I have a good looking mid war rifle listed this evening:
    http://www.GunBroker.com/item/612304953

    101_0002_zpsxv4iwgpw.jpg

    This is a solid rifle. It shows normal wear, but the barrel is good, making it a great choice for taking out in the field. Thanks for looking.
