    Golden State Arms Corporation Santa Fe Division Cal .30 M1

    Hi all, I have a Golden State Arms Santa Fe Division M1 Rifle. What do you guys know about these?
    Before someone says it is a welded up receiver, it is not.

    All I know is that I see quite a few. Some run and some do not.

    Nice heel stamp

    When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

    Maybe Mike Baker can assist on value and such? I hope he's still high and dry!

    Tim, you have seen Beretta M1 receivers with these markings?

    Just so I understand you correctly, you have seen many Golden State Arms M1 rifles with receiver markings identical to mine?
    That interesting, as this is the only one I have seen, and I have been into M1 Garands for a few decades.

    Can you, or anyone else post pictures of other Golden State Arms M1 rifles with receiver markings like mine?

    Where did he say that he saw others with the identical markings as yours? He stated that he has seen many Golden States and some run and some don't, maybe because many of them-not yours-were built on welded receivers. I know you instructed us not to say the word "welded" but I said it anyway. As you have drawn the line in the sand daring us to find another M1 with the same markings as yours have fun because I'm not playing. Beautiful rifle, I have seen others, scarce but they are out there.

    I cannot post any pictures like that. I’ve only been into this for perhaps 15 years and they seem to be fairly common. I just haven’t given them any more time than I would a CAI. Maybe I’ve just been lucky seeing them.

    I think there's some confusion between 'Golden State' rewelds and the factory Berettas imported by 'Santa Fe' as pictured here.

    Is there? I’ve only seen perhaps 2 or 3 golden state welded receivers.
