Rather than start another thread I'm gonna bump this one. Finally received from CMP the IHC M1 Garand that I ordered last April. Paperwork was received in Anniston the same day CMP announced they were sold out of IHC's. Ended up being a nice rifle-
Stock is obviously newer than the handguards. Appears to be beech? Some sort of unmarked replacement stock, but it locks up super tight to the receiver and the grip profile is narrower, which I like. That said, it is an older stock- decades old I'd guess. IHC bolt is a nice 'get' as is the LMR barrel that gauges 1+ ME, 1+ TE. Should be a great shooter.
