Here's some pictures of mine:   I think it's the best $500 I've ever spent on a firearm. All Springfield parts, metal in great condition, a few dings in the wood that give it character. Manufacturered in May 1943. Hopefully I can order a second one this fall. Dave |

My greek 44 SA from the CMP. Very happy with it. The stock has seen better days but I could replace it and the barrel for less than any I have seen at shows. Took a little over 2 weeks from mailing my packet to delivery.

i bought two greek rack grades. both guaged better than some of the service grades (one was hand selected by myself and a friend picked my second greek out for me with his gauges.). one has a nearly immaculate walnut stock and metal finish. both the receiver and bbl. are s.a. 1945.
the other rack doesn't look as perfect, has definitely been rebarreled, but does appear to be 100% s.a. parts. the finish is about 80% or so on this one. it helps to live near camp perry! profit margin??? it's 100% profit. the money is used to fund SHOOTING. the garands are the bread and butter of the cmp program. they are making the most out of them while the supply lasts. that money funds lots of programs, from safety to the national matches to junior smallbore programs to...well, go read the cmp website and see how your money is spent. compare the $300 to $1400 (not counting the uber-collectible garands) the cmp gets to the prices on THE SAME CMP RIFLES that are laying on tables at the gun shows. the cmp is a DEAL. |

How would you guys rate the recoil of the Garand to say..... a Remy 700 in .308?

I will say with certainty that the Garand recoil is less than a 257 Roberts in a Browning A-Bolt. The A-Bolt has no muzzle break, and a reciol pad. The Garand is heavier. |

recoil?
it's a gas gun. and it's a heavier rifle than a bolt gun. my wife shoots the garand without problems. an 8mm mauser makes the garand's recoil seem like a .22 lr. |

I got a greek rack grade that I found when I volunteered at Anniston at the end of the summer.
Beautiful rifle. There is no reason you should not get a garand. EVERYONE NEEDS A GARAND.
