Thinking about getting my dad one for his 60th.
Can someone school me on what to look for as well as value? Where the best place to find one would be? I know of CMP. What to look for besides matching serial numbers?

You would be hard pressed to find a deal better than cmp on my opinion. Not that they can't be had. Wear in the bore is the main thing. To me Garands prices are too high right now. Good luck hope you find one he will like. I have a couple right now that I would never sell. One us as issued. The other doesn't match at all but only has about 25% wear. I love me a Garand!

CMP is the best place but the gems are fewer and farther between. Most field grades are gone and the price on the higher grades is way more than the field grade.

Ask tenX. He has some and can give you some pointers.
I want one, but I want one [Or an M1a] in .308. Surplus M1A? I might be interested in one of those as well.

CMP is going to be your best bet, get there when the doors open. You can also visit the store inside the CMP range, the usually have one or two Garands. The one and only trip I ever made to the CMP was on a whim and when I showed up I was lucky enough to get one in 308 with a new Criterion barrel and stock, a lot of the parts were refurbished or new, I think I paid 900.00 out the door, now they aren't even making them anymore.

Check out the CMP store in Anniston. I went in there this past Saturday. They had a whole bunch of Garands for sale (20-25). They're not cheap either. I saw as low as 800 up to 1300.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

Don't waste your time on a CMP if you actually want to shoot it.
Go to Fulton Armory and get one built, best in the Biz. Those are nice.

Ended up getting him a Springfield M1A "loaded". We shot it yesterday for the first time, pretty sweet gun.
