You are close enough to drive to the store in Anniston depending on what part of Florida you are in. Last week the South store had 10 Winnies in stock. 5 SG and 4 FG. That would be your best option for getting one.

Is that the one in alabama ? 8 hours away I drove from Texas to get an IHC and a Winnie when they had them, twice! First trip they had no IHC's. So I bought an early Winnie and an M1D. Two weeks later the IHCs were back in stock so I left as soon as I got off work at 1530. Arrived in Anniston at about 0330 and was at the front door by 0730. Made it back home by 2000. That was a looooong day of driving but was worth it. Got a nice IHC with a beautiful SA/NFR stock and a Winchester gas cylinder. All the major parts were IHC as well. |

I mail ordered a field grade M1 and just got it today. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I'll let you be the judge.

The stock at CMP has always been a mixed bag. They get what they get and until they open the container and start sorting nobody knows what they have. Yes, the Philippine guns are going to be rougher than what we're used to seeing. Tropical climates are hard on guns. Who knows what the Korean guns will look like, assuming we actually get those some day. Going to the north or south store is always the best bet but isn't practical for most of us. The north store is solid 600 miles for me.

judging by the video CMP released on the Philippine guns, yes, there are some in rough shape, but apparently there are also a good number that look like they were never even issued. No telling until they're on the shelves.

CMP rebuilds the dogs, replacing barrels and stocks and everything else as needed. You'll get a new Criterion barrel installed if the old one was toast.
They inspect and grade the rifles that pass inspection. They rebuild rifles that don't. I would rather buy a M1 with a brand new barrel than a collector. |

OP you have two options. Drive there (best option) and hand pick one, or order one. If you order get a service grade. Expect new wood.
I really want a FG Winchester. If they come back in stock I'll fo. |

Just recieved my field grade. Ww2 springfield, looks like the only part that could have come on that serial is the op rod. Barrel is '44 and the trigger housing is a 50's. I feel like i got what i paid for. It has 3+ muzzle and throat. IMO the hackberry stock is serviceable but lacks any character or beauty.

How come all the rifles in this thread don't have lockbar rear sight? I received my 2 field grades mail order 2 months ago, one has lockbar. I thought all the WW2 garands until late war should have lockbar rear sights and should be common. No?

Post war sights, as you wrote, were almost always installed at post war rebuild- easier to use and easier/cheaper to produce. They became standard on all Garands made in the 1950s. Some lockbars obviously escaped being removed and replaced because they show up from time to time on CMP rifles. It is similar to getting an uncut op rod I'd think. About 4 years ago I ordered 2 SA SGs. Both rifles came with lockbars, and one (8/44) had an uncut op rod and the original barrel. |

I was at the north store last Thursday. They have almost two full racks of drill rifles but were not well stocked (less than a full rack) of SG/ FG. They did have a full rack of M1D & M1C's. Hopefully the recently acquired rifles will start appearing to at least give store visitors more options.

Just drove to the South store today, I'm dumb Anniston much closer to me than I thought. Hadn't realized it's a littler cheaper to buy at the store, so a rack grade decided to come back home for the ride. Pics in a bit, 517xxx SN SA. Looked a little unique to me, so I chose it from around 40-50 other rifles. The rebuilt service grade ones looked pretty, but more than I wanted to spend on something I'll probably never shoot.

A little bit of zombie thread resurrection...
I'm headed to Anniston for an afternoon meeting on Thursday. I've been trying to get up there and buy a Garand for a few years and it hasn't worked out so I would love to make it happen this trip. I've read the eligibility reqs and need to do something about the CMP affiliated club. So my questions are: 1. How long does a trip to the store take if you are going in to buy a rifle? 2. Can I apply to GCA at the shop to satisfy that requirement? 3. My meeting that afternoon is at Anniston Army depot so I don't need to bring my new rifle with me when I leave the store. Will they hold the rifle until I pick it up that afternoon on the way out of town or do they mail the rifle? |

My son is going to the South Store in April to get himself an M1. Maybe two of them.
I ordered one about a year ago and I was so pleased I felt like I won the lotto. I'll dig up pics later today. GI replacement stock of some sort, a little wear but really cool. January 44 Springfield with a '46 barrel. Great finish and mechanically perfect. Muzzle and throat both 1 I think. Best $730 I ever spent one a gun !! Yes the CMP still has great rifles !! |
