Milsurps / Prohib M1 Garand Thoughts

I would really like to get another M1 Garand ( had one in the 90s I had to let go, for $350). I know that no one can predict the future here but what are the odds it ends up on the list?

I have one and I believe unless you really are into milsurp (vs semi-auto in general) there are better choices. It’s heavy and limited use in practical shooting. But I don’t bench shoot… I’m only in the field.

Take my MAS 49/56 all day over the M1. Thinner, lighter, mag fed...
