Get the $950 HRA SGS. I don't think there are any CMP specials, but I would get the HRA SGS regardless. I know there have been a few field grades showing up here and there and occasionally a Springfield Service Grade. I am heading from Oklahoma to Alabama in March for the "Advanced Maintenance Class" and hope to pick out an HRA SGS while there. Good luck and let us know how you did!

From what I've read on the CMP forum there haven't been any service grades at the store lately.

They have field grade guns and service grade specials. He said they had plenty of the service grade specials, so I am heading that way.

Glad I went. I decided to order a service grade. The field grade almost had me. I really didn't like the sgs once I saw it. The store is cool, though. It was a nice day trip.

I took one pic in the store. There were tons of service and field grade m1d and c guns, about 15 HRA SSG guns, about 10 Field grade guns, and 4 match guns. I was very close on a field grade, but decided to order the service grade. The HRA guns with new stocks just weren't doing it for me. It wasn't worth the extra $325 to me. But I am partial to some wear on the gun for some add reason. Probably should have bought a field grade. They have a nice patina finish and dings in the stock.

If you let them ship it, there is no tax and you just pay whatever the shipping price is. That is how they did it back in 2008 anyways. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Pardon my ignorance of the subject what what do the different grades mean? And can you just show up to one of the stores to buy a Garand or m1a? I thought there were certain requirements that had to be met such as shooting in a match. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Eligibility Requirements It looks intimidating at first, but it is very easy to qualify. Joining the GCA for $25 online is an easy way to be part of a club. Garand Grades From what I read you can go buy one at the store as long as you bring documentation to show you are eligible, I believe you can even sign up for the GCA while in the store. CMP does not sell M1A rifles. |

Yes, field grade is 525. I just finished putting my paperwork together and noticed that the SA guns in SG are out, but they now have HRA in SG, so I'm ordering one of those with two crates of ammo.
