Yep, been available since the end of December actually. Honestly, they are a little overpriced for being luck-of-the-draw. Lots of people getting white painted VFW rifles. You can do better elsewhere.

I bought the higher grade rifle and it seems to be original wood thankfully
 
Even $1,000 isn’t totally out of line for a Service Grade M1917 these days, but I wouldn’t pay that unless I knew what I was getting. Buying sight unseen is a roll of the dice, and for me, they would have to be less than $1,000.

I do already have three M1917’s, so I guess I can afford to be picky.

Yeah , 3 hour round trip on a good day. I have become very lazy. I would probably just order one from cmp at that point, lol

I would have to plan a day , HIt AHM, NEAG and that fruit stand near the AHM. So add another $500 to the rifle for travel expenses. Lol
 
Looks like CMP got some 1903’s for mail order and they teased Krags

1903 Service grade are $950

If the buying process is anything like when I bought the Bosnian sks, plan on an extra 1-2 hours wait. Beside the Fed and state checks and registration, Cabelas doesn’t trust your LTC and runs their own corporate checks.

There’s a reason they have a sitting area with all those chairs. None were occupied btw and I had to come back later in the day. Bayos are another headache.

They also won't take a C and R. Well they will, but you need to fill out a 4473.

The same here.

The Bass Pro buyout should have never been allowed. Another case of stolen wealth and livelihoods. A hedge fund with just an 11% stake forces a sale and sells the stake on the news. How is this F#%&$? Legal!?

The death of Sidney, Nebraska: How a hedge fund destroyed 'a good American town'

The sale of Cabela's to Bass Pro Shops was announced in 2016, a year after Singer’s Elliott Management disclosed an 11 percent stake, and said Cabela’s should explore a possible sale. Cabala’s was profitable at the time, but in mid-November 2015, Elliott Management “stated that they believed the Company should be sold through a public auction process” and that if they didn’t engage in the sales process, the hedge fund "was prepared to take further steps with respect to the Company,” according to securities filings.

After the sale announcement, the stock price surged and Singer’s hedge fund cashed out within a week. Elliott Management reportedly made at least $90 million.

“They got in there to get the business sold and the business was sold, so they took it and ran,” Damien Park, managing partner at consulting firm Hedge Fund Solutions, told the Omaha World-Herald in October 2016. “They made a fortune, so they’re happy.”

I know little to nothing about all that stuff
What should have happened by now is American People having No trust in BigBusiness to stick around . Im not so sure many smaller businesses could sustain much better.

And they’re gone. I assume they were all allocated the day after with the people on CMP discussing sending their paperwork in overnight/tracked.

I just got an email from CMP that the 1903's sold out. They received my order on 07/01, but they were gone already. Based on the CMP site....people were express mailing their orders as soon as it was announced.

That's the way to do it. Have the package of paperwork ready to rip as soon as CMP drops something you want.

If one ever has reason to be in OH or AL, the best way to grab something decent is to go to the North Store, South Store, or Talladega Marksmanship Park.
