I am not exactly sure what Sir Reaper is referring to, But I know that Springfield Armory makes brand new Garand rifles in 30-06 and .308 that run roundabout $900-$1000. I believe that The CMP also has some garands still available to eligible individuals.
Here is a list of their eligibility requirements. Last I heard, CMP garands started at $400 for a shooter.
Damn, you learn something new every day. Looks like I am eligible. I guess I'll have to start allocating funds for a garand now.
