After reading the CMP forums my panic level has subsided. The general consensus is that they will have more SA M1 rifles available once they have caught up with the mountain of orders they currently have.
Pretty sure it's not. Springfield's are what I shoot. As I recall the IH was a whole rifle and this is the photo from the same file.
Cheers

Why wait? It's a good bet by then they will all be gone too, just saying.
Good luck

~Matt how many numbers can you see? As I recall it was six. I should look up a date some day,,LOL.
Thank you for the reply.

Same rifle.
even before the FR panic buying Orest Michaels CMP director stated they have aprox 2 years worth of Service grade garands left at current order rates?
As with many of the CMP past offerings there is little if any large arsenals of M1 garands being returned to the US Army/military to forward to the cmp.
Soon it will be Auction Only for cmp sales.
Parts kits ? where do you get a decent parts kit these days ? they where 350.00 last I found a source. Not to mention recievers,
I sadly think the end is closer than many would like to believe for the service grade M1 Garands. Remember the service grade rifles are sorted, stripped, cleaned reassembled by the cmp. rack grades may or may not get this treatment. Other than that all "collectable" or "of high interest" items go to auction.

This.
Anyone in the know seems to think they stopped accepting orders to play catch up. They did this on the service grade rifles early last year to clear out some of the field grades.
Orest was quoted as recently as a couple weeks ago noting they were about 2-3 years out from selling out. This should serve as a wake up call though.

Looks like a 2mil SA.
200K would be what year? Gawd I think of all the M1's I handled in the Army racks and racks and never thought to look past the job,,LOL. One time it was two box cars on a rail siding.
It makes a great guest gun for visitors and the ladies and they have no problem getting on some steel at 300 yards.
