Hi Jim and welcome. The M1 Garand would be legal. Cheers and stay safe!

The M1 Garand is exempt from the Ban in Illinois. So that'd be good to go to purchase!

Hi JIm, for an accurate answer, the exact model would be needed. As long as it has none of the following features, it would be Illinois compliant. i. a pistol grip or thumbhole stock; ii. any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; iii. a folding, telescoping, thumbhole, or detachable stock, or a stock that is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of, the weapon; iv. a flash suppressor; v. a grenade launcher; vi. a shroud attached to the barrel or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel. Stay safe & have a great day!
