New to me garand

[Chef]

So I bought a new to me garand off another forum and it arrived today. The receiver is a Winchester-13 meaning it’s a mistake that Winchester made and used duplicate serial numbers to Springfield late in WWII. The gun also has many national match parts on it. I’m having it looked into If it’s a actually national match gun. If it is that would be super rare as almost all of them have Springfield receivers as the work was all done at Springfield armory. Can’t wait to find out more about this beauty. She’s real tight and clean and I can’t wait to shoot her.

How can one tell if it's a Winchester 13?

Dam that thing looks brand new , did it stay locked up in a armory someplace for all  these years ?

[Chef]

There are two ways you can tell the first is by looking up the serial number, then also the drawing number on the receiver leg is marked win-13 at the end

Not sure its for sure a Arsenal rebuild as the stock is marked a such. Most M1’s have been re built at some point im just curious to see if this was rebuilt to use at the national matches at camp perry. If it was this gun could easily be worth 5x that of a regular garand

I fell in love with this gun after playing medal of honor on playstation as a kid haha. There's just something about the ping at the end of the (clip?) the garand is a clip right? It's on my list of guns to own some day.

Congrats Looks like a beauty.

I don't really know anything about them but she is purty lookin....

[Chef]

All I can say is wow, shot her for the first time and she holds a 2inch group at 100 that is super accurate for a Garand

Absolutely beautiful rifle. And to have it shoot as good as it looks, is the sweet icing on the cake.

Hopefully you can find out if it was indeed a match rifle. That would definitely make it even cooler than it already is! 

And more valuable as well. Though if it were mine, I could never sell it.

Thats great glad you no issues with it....Enjoy..

That is also pretty good shooting for a fat white boy using issue sights.....<<grin>>…..

I have one myself. Bought it  before the silly safe act. Turned to be all match grade parts. I didn't even know what that meant. A guy on LI (O'rion 7) is an expert on them and sells parts and bullets but reload my own. As for the 2" groups at 100 yards, a Garand well do better then that at 300 yards. Great gun good luck and go use it

I won’t sell it either, I don’t believe it’s a true national match rifle but it is match quality done at a us Arsenal

I think you should, 

Bad news pygmy just pm me says your gun is the dreaded exploding model.  So don't shoot it  he says the rifles only worth $125 . I will take it off you hands for that price if you want
