They had a rack of them at Perry last yr, only one or two had really bad pitting above wood. Most receivers looked pretty nice just sand blasted and reparked . Some had weak heel markings .

I really need to take vacation from work one day and go to both CMP stores heard they have other firearms there that are not on the web site. |

WRA Special Rack (recent order) has no visible pitting above wood, but receiver heel markings were noticeably weaker than a regular Service Grade WRA.
Rear sight parts feel just a little sloppier than other M1s, and bolt has a brown patina. Runs well and an excellent deal for what it cost. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @Ar15Jason Any chance of some close up pics of the receiver and such? Sure can later today I will post them. I was worried about the receiver heard some bad stories about the pitting on them. Which is part of the deal in the CMP description. But mine is in good shape. Only thing that stinks is the new wood has a dent in the upper hand guard someone banged it pretty good. |

Was at the CMP Talladega range Wednesday, and they had several specials on the racks.
Some of which had REALLY rough (albeit refinished) receivers. If at all possible, I would recommend to anyone to travel to CMP and avoid buying sight unseen. The sight of their newly-assembled 03 and M1 snipers will make you reach for your credit card. |

Wait CMP is making reproduction A4’s? |

If you pursued it, CMP would likely replace the hand guard under warranty as damaged in transit or during packaging. |

hi, also jumped on Special Rack Grade; snail mail forms out to CMP on 8 Sept, notified on 22 Oct rifle good to go (credit card hit)....have not seen it yet, will report, but I think has a very low Ser No, 124xxx, prewar production. I would think it would ship out 23 Oct, get to me Monday 26th....waiting is always the hardest part!

.30-06 is the only proper caliber for the M1 Garand.

Quote HistoryQuoted: .30-06 is the only proper caliber for the M1 Garand. For a pure collector, maybe. But the .308/7.62 cartridge, being easier to source as surplus or in commercial-equivalent FMJ fodder, makes a lot of sense in an M1. So there's zero downside to getting one in that chambering if or when CMP offers them. |

Found some pics over on the cmp forums that look kinda gnarly, cmp forum rack special receiver pitting I would be happy to get one like that. Almost all below the wood and the heel stamp is still good. Quite a few of them have pretty nasty pitting above the wood line with heel stamps that are almost blasted away. |
