Mailed my order in for another one today, might as well get another before the election madness and the cmp supplies seem to be dwindling alittle.

I'm glad they're holding the price. I'm not ordering one but it's tempting. I have enough for a mechanized infantry squad but not a leg infantry squad.

Missed out on the last (small) round of Carbines, and the only Garand I've bought from them in the last couple of years was a "Special" in .308. Figure one more Service Grade can't hurt... |

they said all along they hadn't ran out, they were just trying to catch up with orders so they pulled them...

It's happened several times over the years....but people like to go chicken little with it every time. And if we want to get into splitting hairs the supply has been dwindling since the 1950's. |

As you say, the supply is dwindling over time. Absent a new influx from somewhere, the trickle and windows to order will likely become fewer and further between. More a case of good sense than "panic" IMHO. At least in my case. |

Actually, what happened in March, was the first time I remember them shutting down all orders for Garands. A few years ago, I remember thinking, Oh, there will always be carbines or 1903's available in the stores. Now besides the sniper versions, they don't really even have any Garands in the stores. I think the end is nearer then you realize, unless some other country decides to give back what they have. I think those with the "I'll order one someday" mentality are going to wish they had ordered one today. |

I just sold three Garands a couple months ago. I kept the Winchester that I put together on a CMP stripped receiver and I still have a couple receivers and parts kits. It will be more fun to put together my own than buy them.

As for this instance, I have no 100% solid proof of it but perhaps their moving the S. Store did play partially into the reasoning for them being "sold out" and not accepting orders. |

This is the first time I have seen them put a nearly complete stop to sales of Garands. It doesn't matter if you call it sold out or not accepting orders. So the semantics may be on your part, not mine. I know they stopped selling field grades for a long while. Then they started selling them again, then they went to luck of the draw in both field and service grade. Prior to that, they have taken turns being sold out individually as manufacturer or grade choice. But not all at once, to include the specials. |

Placed an order for two. It'll be my first Garand. I'm a little nervous about getting a decent one...so I bought two to be sure.

Sent my order in. Got there on the 29th. Usually take about a week before they process it? It's my first CMP order and I'm just nervousness about did I send everything in properly.
First time orders take longer? |

I wish they'd offer field grades again. The last couple field grades I got have been better than the service grade I got. Maybe not as good shooters but nicer m1's imo because of the gi wood and original finish.

Sent out paperwork for my first one from the CMP.
Had two others but sold them both. Money was just too good at the time. Gonna keep this one |

I occasionally check their site and a few weeks ago there was nothing so I'm glad I saw this thread.
Got my paperwork out first thing Tuesday and then called and spoke to a woman who said they were still working on the hundreds of orders alone from last Monday when they put them up. I don't think that's too bad to be only a week behind with a holiday in the mix. I had called because I thought it might be best to let someone know I was sending ... ? she said I would not miss out so that made me a little at ease. Have to start doing some reading now as this will be my first . As others have said , I hope it's a decent one - sounds like it will be though. |

I did pick up a nice RRAD rebuild at the NS some years back.. At this point maybe I should just be happy with that and call it a day. Thought about a private purchase, but people are asking insane amounts of money for them anymore. |

FWIW, I couldn't have asked for 2 better rifles. Correct barrel/receiver combos on both, H&R with LMR barrel. 2-44 Springfield and a 11-55 HRA. Both in USGI wood, circle P and DOD stamp later SA/HRA stocks. 1/2 readings on the SA, 1+/2+ on the HRA. Super time to order! Going to have to cross reference the SA's parts numbers. It may be pretty intact but no time to research now.
Seriously, amongst the best of my Service grade orders. Thought I'd be harvesting one of these if any correct parts to my others and really just put in the order for 2 to double my odds at the H&R...but total score on both! Now...do I need another to get a sub-1mil serial SA??? |
