Big 5 sporting goods has been advertising old M1 Garands for $699. I took a look the other day, and the store I visited had just one left, and it was pretty beat (e.g., pieces of the stock missing near the barrel). I passed. Does anyone know if Big 5 made a mass purchase of these rifles recently? And if so, from where? Any advice on what should I be on the lookout for when purchasing one of these would be appreciated. Generally speaking is $699 a good price? Thanks!
