If you are interested in a deal on an IHC Garand, there has been a development
The U.S. loaned 312,430 M1 rifles to NATO-allied Turkey, beginning in 1953 and ending with the final shipment of 5,000 in 1972. A few years ago, several thousand were returned from the Turkish Navy and now, over 13,000 have come back from the Turkish Air Force and are filtering out through the CMP as testing and grading are being completed.
The good news is, as many as a quarter could be rare IHC models.
The neat news is, they also sometimes have Turkish dope charts (marked Nisangah Tanzi) affixed to them.
