I would assume that Winchester also had milled trigger guards, as they were producing the Garand early on. My knowledge of Garands doesn't extend much past knowing what would be accurate for which time period.
However, if you're really curious, I know there are several books about M1 collecting. I've been told that Scott Duff's book is the go to book for collectors.
Hey there. This sub just masturbates all day long to the CMP. However the CMP has been known to provide rifles with serious issues. Oldschool M1 rifle Gurus hate the CMP. But, you can work with the CMP to get a nice rifle. So there are pros and cons, but the CMP is not the only route.
I am old school, and I seriously advocate for going to a place where you can personally handle a few rifles and talk to a few guys in person who know their stuff. Call a few shops and ask who knows antique Military surplus rifles. These guns are finicky even at their best and require some knowledge. We gets lots of dumb ass posts on this thread every week where some guys spent the money but didn't pick up a book or do a lick of research and then encountered a simple quirk of the M1 system that left them stymied.
So, I would first buy a good book on shooting the M1 Garand. They are cheap and plentiful. Here is one I own and recommend for a beginner: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-M1-Garand-Jim-Thompson/dp/0873649842
Second, go talk to some people. Internet does not count. You just can't get the kind of detailed info a 5 minute conversation with someone in person that you can get from an online post, like this one for example.
Third, compare the CMP to other options because there are other options.
Finally, just hammer the research. Look at every photo online you can find, read every article. If you are going to spend $1000 on a rifle, you must understand that knowledge is free and will put you far ahead of the pack. I hope this helps.
