I remember not so long ago when the wait time was 4+ months, but now they list 15-30 days on the site. Is this legit? Are they really getting these out this quick?

I've been wanting a Garand for awhile, and now looks like a good time to jump in.

It can vary depending on the state of the panic.  Lately they've been hit with a lot of bayonet orders.  If you order, it will show up.  But predicting when can be a art form.

Why does it matter how long it takes? If you want a Garand you need to get in on them as they will not be around forever

I was looking into this today (I put my paperwork in on Saturday ) and from the info on the CMP forum, it looks like they are running at about a month.  I think the last person to 'check in' got their rifle on 3/3 and ordered 1/31.   Not accurate by any means, but can give a little insight.
I'll get a link and edit this in a bit

Does that SG have GI wood? Did you request it or just get lucky?

I got my email response from them on 2/11/11.  Have not heard anything else yet.

Yes, it is GI wood, I guess I just got lucky, no special request. Hardly any wear on the moving parts either, looks like it was rebuilt and put in storage.


FTAggie- your going to have to wait regardless, just take the plunge. the sooner you do the less time you'll have to spend wishing you had a Garand

This may sound like a dumb question, but if you go to one of the two CMP stores you can go right in and pick one up, correct?
No wait involved?

Just curious,

as I am also looking to buy an M1 Garand :) I'm willing to make the 5 hour drive to get it haha

You can visit the stores and buy one there.  Sales tax applies. Ohio, 6.75%, Alabama, 9%.

You can but it's cheaper to have them ship it to you.  Sales tax on $600 is around $54 compared to $23 to have it shipped.

Order mailed 1/31.  Received by CMP 2/4.  Shipped 3/10.  I received it 3/11.  NIce 5.8 mil serial number.  ME 1, TE 2.  Mixmaster but all metal in good to very good condition.  Stock is new manufacture birch.  Would have preferred GI walnut but well satisfied with the rifle.

How long should it be until I get an e-mail notification?



As stated above, I mailed mine off on 3/5 and here it is the 15th and no e-mail.  I am fine with a long wait, but how long until I should contact CS to make sure my envelope has actually been received?



Thanks!

They received my order on 2/23 i got that email. and i have not gotten an email back yet. and i cant find out what DBU means??

ok, i learned what DBU IS.   "Don't Bother Us" sit back,relax, it will come.  makes sense now.

Thanks! I just don't really trust this apt. complex's mail.  I go days w/o anything then, like today, I come home with a mailbox full of stuff    I don't know if they have a funky pickup/delivery schedule or what, but just thought I'd verify that there is indeed a delivery e-mail before the DBU/e-store and all that

somebody on the cmp forum sent theirs in after me and received their DBU. I havent yet??
