Another CMP order going out
- Thread starter dhuze
- Start date
I guess they're closed until next week, so although I sent mine in on the 23rd, we'll probably get them about the same time.
Well there's a guaranteed $29.95 increase from existing shipping prices. Now shipping will be 'free', well, worked into the cost of the rifle. No addt'l S&H. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe an addt'l $20?

i just ordered my first 2 from CMP, dropped the paperwork in the mail yesterday.
I was born in Springfield, MA and live a town over. I attended community college before going to my four year university at STCC the former armory grounds where many of these fine pieces of historical craftsmanship were made. If anyone is ever in Springfield, take a trip over to the armory grounds, there is a great museum that details much of the history of the site.

That's why I did it. I wanted to get ahead of the increase.

It's finally coming tomorrow, and I won't see it until next Wednesday. I'm going out to visit my brother in Colorado the same day it's supposed to show up.

That's just insane. After you get the rifle you should call and ask to speak with Orest, or write to him directly. I hope the gun is perfect.

Other than the gap in your "received" order. I believe they where lacking on field grades with wood.
Sadly Orest has,been gone and ask CMP(orest) on the forums has been a bit lacking since Orest left.
I might drop a order in just to have a IHC? I still have the paper work filled out from last IHC. I will have it ready to over night the order if I do
I finally (just now) got an email that they received my order on 2/26/15 and it is now being processed. I dropped it in the mail on 2/23/15.
I hope all this IHC frenzy doesn't gum up the works too much for me.

Yup. Try to forget you ordered one and wait.
Right now it's only taking a couple weeks. There was a time where the wait was 60-90 days and it was mostly 90 days.

I won't be seeing mine as soon as I thought. I'm in Colorado and went with my niece and nephew to this place called Sky Zone. It's a trampoline place. Apparently I'm too old to be doing that. I managed to tear my calf muscle jumping from the trampoline into the foam pit.

Well THAT sucks! Heal quickly and stay off that thing for a while!
Get well quick!

Went to trampoline park with my 7 year old daughter...... I was lucky managed to leave with just a limp. Right up there with sledding. Heal well.
I got mine today. It's a '52-'54 Springfield with a non-repro stock. Looks to be in nice shape, a few dings, but this is the first Garand I have seen up close, so I have no basis for comparison.
I'll get it broken down and checked out later today and put up some photos.

I thought they were quoting 120-160 days back in early 2013.
I have an IHC on order, waiting for it.

Good articles on the CMP about stripping it down and putting it back together again.
I printed this out and keep it in my cleaning box for a quick "where to" on lubricating the M1.

It's by far my favorite gun to shoot lately!
Depending on the grade you want to compare what you got vs other garands.
If you got the Service Grade for 730$ go find Garands in your local gun shops. Be hard pressed to find to find one for 730$ let alone in good shape. LGS near me has a SA service grade commercial replacement stock was 850$ last year and suddenly its now 1200$
I know value is different cmp vs the outside world but a SG M1 that cost 730$ shouldnt cost 1200 in a shop but saddly its usually of a lesser grade and still more money. I dont see to many nice garands in shops. most are rack grades at best and still 1k
My S/N is 43258XX which seemed to put it on the lower end of the '52-54 bracket based on the one website I checked. My tag says it has a muzzle reading of 1+ and a throat reading of 3+
I tore it down and greased it. Looking forward to getting it to the range.
