I bought my M1 through the CMP program. What a beautiful rifle. I'll post some pics when I get the camera working. It cost me 320, and it was the best investment I've ever made. Best part about M1s is you can research the serial numbers and get a lot of info on them. Mine was made in June 1944, M1C, and was sent to Greece on the lend, give me back later, program. Apparently, they decided to give it back, so now it has returned "home". There are no import marks on it, and most of the parts are original Springfield Armory. The barrel rifling looks like it came out of the Springfield plant yesterday. The wood is dark, very dark, and has some marks from storage with other rifles. Overall, it looks fantastic. Shoots fantastic too, no sight adjustments needed.
Although it fits very well into the old hands, I couldn't imagine trying to handle the club at 17, let alone trying to swim with it back in June 44...
