It probably depends on what you order. Some people were claiming about a two to three week wait around the turn of the new year, but that is the shortest I have ever heard. I have usually waited about three to four months for my rifles to arrive.
Right now, many of the staff are scattered throughout the country for different events so I would expect the wait to be a little longer for the next few weeks. There is also the huge rush for the International Harvesters, but from what I have gathered, they have a dedicated crew for that, so it shouldn't affect other orders too much. I put in for one of the IHC and it has been almost a month without even confirmation that they received my order. |

minion42 thanks.
My paperwork went in the mail on 3-21-15. I'm anxious LOL. Like you, I ordered a service grade. That's a very nice looking rifle you got. I especially like the stock on it. There is just something about the used look when it comes to stocks that appeals to me.

I mailed my order for a Service Grade on 3/11 and have not heard anyThing yet. The IHC's have definitely slowed down their delivery. Orders just before the IHC's were released seemed to be shipping in 3-4 weeks but now it seems they're a little slower.

My order for a Service Grade that went out on 3-20-15 has yet to yield CMP's DBU email. I know someone that mailed their order out on 3-10-15 who just received the SG rifle today.

I am lusting after a Garand..... On the 22 of this month I fly into Cincinnati for a graduation on Sat. If I haul ass in the rental car I can do the 500+ mile round trip to the CMP north store on Friday. Is it worth the effort to go chose in person, or should I relax & do the mail order thing?

Better call the store the day before, late in the day, and see if and what they have in stock. If they have a selection, it is worth the trip. In recent years, the store selection has been very hit or miss, with a heavy trend toward the miss.

Several years ago we went to the CMP South store in Anniston and purchased an M1 Carbine.
We got to hand pick out Carbine and it was a wonderful experience. Back then the store was full of rifles with more in the back. Don't know about now days. |

Sometimes people get lucky and there will be a few Winchesters that magically appear, but this is not common. |

I went to the Anniston Alabama CMP store last week and it was total fucking bullshit. They had a five overpriced Winchester's for sale and that was all. The back room was full of service grade Springfields that they refused to sale in the store. They only sale them through mail orders. They were busy packing them up and shipping them out. I drove 1 1/2 half hours for nothing...what a waste of my time.

Even if the Winchesters were at the lower end of their respective grades, I doubt they were overpriced. Try finding a Winchester of the same grade for a remotely similar price outside of the CMP. I doubt it can be done, unless someone just gets really lucky. |

Sometimes that's not even needed as there is usually a running thread on the CMP forum on what's current at the North and South stores; reports from shoppers. CMP has had long dry spells in the last 6 years or so. What's more fair? Giving the guy first dibs on the rifle who mailed his check 4-8 weeks ago and was waiting for them to inspect, grade, and process a gun and get to his order or giving that same rifle to a guy walking in off the street? |

I think it's pretty cool that his first purchase is such an awesome peice of.U.S. military history. Motor |

It is 2 and 3. I'm not at home but pretty sure it was throat 3 and muzzle 2. I'll check and edit if needed.
Thanks for the kind words. Jr's a big young man and quite a hunter. I have to admit though his first love is the M1A. A couple of my brothers got him a very slightly used "loaded" for graduation. He's already admitted though that the sights on the M1A is going to force him to use the Garand in the woods. Motor |

Thanks guys. The photo kinda makes it look better, well smoother than it really is. It has it's scars but I like that.
The pistol grip has a circle about the size of a dime with a capital P in the middle lightly stamped into the wood. Maybe FluffyTheCat will post the hand guard photo. It has numbers on it too. The metal looks good. The end cap has a good deal of what looks like corrosion but its been refinished so it's just rough. We hope to shoot it this weekend. Motor |
