On the CMP website to buy a decent M-1 Garand...it's anywhere from $650 to $1088 for a "field grade" rifle.
I feel your pain. One of my great uncles brought back an M-1 from WWII. It was supposed to be at my great gradndfather's house...and as of now everyone who was alive at the time or had anything to do with it has died...it's long gone and I have no idea where it went.
