Are those original like ww2 korea era m1s or are they newly build ones? At the store in ohio.
From what i understand Gov surplus
Rifle Sales - M1 Garand
If reenacting is your aim, have you looked at drill rifles or deactivated ones? I'm sure they'd be cheaper and your father need not worry
The thing is i really want to at least shoot blanks while im there lol.

plan on another $100 for blank adapter
Hmmm... m1 carbine? Springfield 03? Both are, on average, a bit cheaper than a garand.
So I would have to spend an extra 100 on a rifle to have it shoot blanks
yes blanks cant alone creat enough gas to push back the bolt. Thus the blank adapter will keep some of the gas from the blank and recycle it to push the bolt back.
When you shoot real ammo. the bullet it self is what keeps some of the gas in as it leaves the rifle. Thus no adapter.
adapters go for around $100
Bolt actions dont need them.
Blank only guns, such as the Mp40 or thompson have smaller bore so a live round cant go through. so thus you dont need a adapters.
SSroom made some of these guns with blank pointing the oppisite direction. In the eyes of the ATF they are sort of toys and not considered real guns..... legal in all 50 states to my knowledge
