I was at the antique show over at the Lake County Fairgrounds today. Didn't buy anything, but on my way out, I spotted this. One person asked what the "garand" cost and the vendor said $1000. What the bleep is this thing? It was in pieces and obviously needs work.

I believe it's a large training gun. So people can see the parts and how they work. I know a mil surplus store in the south burbs has one

Looks like a large M1 Garand, for training perhaps...

I spoke to a friend and showed my pictures and he confirmed what you've all said. Training aid; larger in scale for easier visuals to a group of people. He figured $1000 for a "gun" in this condition was reasonable, as they're quite rare. Obviously they're never intended to be fired.
