I like the stock on that one. I think I'll play with one of mine tomorrow.

Thanks, the stock has an interesting feature. In the sling well are the typical last 4 digit s/n found on Bavarian carbines. This is not the last 4 of my SN and that's not the interesting feature. Someone extended the stock a little bit and actually did an excellent job. I considered swapping on another GI stock I have, but in the end opted to keep it "as received by CMP".

I'll be there as well. Also shooting my garand in the gsmm match on Friday. Been practicing for a few weeks. Off to the range soon for some more practice.
Well the nice thing about the Garand/03 matches will be no sitting. 30 round course of fire. I hate sitting even more than off hand.
I think the Carbine match is 40 rounds (with sitting). Does anyone know if they do the 2+8 rounds with mag change for rapid fire?
Had a great time. Shot carbine and GSM. Bought the garand right before the match lol. Brought my older garand but the wra special was too. Much to let go. First match ever for me. Didn't come in last, which was my goal.

You'll like the accuracy of that Special. Before you shoot it in a match, check the sights to make sure they are properly tightened. Speaking from experience, ahem...
When I was in the store on Wednesday evening, there appeared to be a pretty good selection of Garands in varying condition and prices. I think the stacks of boxes were more of them yet to be put on display. Seemed like they were showing ~35 rifles on top of the stacks. I resisted the temptation to buy another Garand, but barely. Perhaps I'll buy a spare receiver someday soon to build one, someday...
There were a good amount available. Plus about 10 m1c or m1d. Couldn't bring myself to get one of those though.I'm actually shocked they had that many rifles.

CMP estimates they will run out of Garands in 2018.
