Anyone looking for a .308 CMP special?

[jpm]

Four Seasons has one and it is really gorgeous. CMP wood but nicely finished. They also have an IHC Garand with an LMR barrel which I didn't really look at.

ETA: $1399 for the .308

$150 cheaper via CMP if you're willing to wait two weeks.
A 308 M1 might be cool someday, but so far down the list for me that by the time I might want one, I will be priced out.

small premium for seeing it before buying it and if its nice wood thats a plus. Last few Garands I have seen (past 3 months 2 specials and 1 SG) the wood is so plain and lifeless.

I thought about that but there's also the inverse--save $150 and you get a "warranty."

If anyone remembers, my CMP special's rear sight assembly had to go back--the contractor that did the blasting/reparking goofed and caused it so that the elevation also changed the windage. CMP mailed me new sights right away for free. I don't know if they'd extend that courtesy to a second owner.

the goof was on the cmp assembly line for installing those in the first place...but it is what it is.

Mine came from the CMP in four days not to long ago via Federal Express

I'll cut them a little slack. I didn't notice at first, I was trying to sight it in and kept noticing that when I'd fix one thing (elevation or windage) and then try to adjust the other, I'd get the original thing screwed up. Took me probably 10 shots or so and I was thinking I was crazy.

Then I finally watched closely and noticed. I took it apart, scrubbed, cleaned as hard as I could, etc. No luck, and I didn't see any burrs or anything obvious to my eyes. But they made it right ASAP.
