   Would an M1 Garand be considered 'modern'? maybe there should be a forum for wartime firearms

   The government produced M1 Garand serial numbers stopped in the 6 million range, and the commercial numbers started in the 7 million range, using newly made receivers. Commercial rifles have also been made using receivers from Century Arms, and Lithgow and mostly GI surplus parts.

   An M1 Garand is a Curio and Relic if it is 50 years old or older. Originals will be. Modern production/reproduction M1's are not C&R unless they are on the list. There are guns newer than 50 years that are C&R on the BATF list. The Springfield Armory, Inc., Korean War Commemorative .30 cal., MI Garand Rifle S/Ns from KW0001 to KW1000. is an example not 50 years old but C&R license qualified.
