Thanks for the replies. I'm a little leary about the CMP rifles as there are no guarantees. What have your experiences been in dealing with them? Are the rifles safe to fire without having a gunsmith check them out?

Sell all but one of the lowers to fund the purchase. If you have different uppers, use those with the one lower and your not losing anything. My .02

Or 5 gallon water jug! Seriously, I looked into it a little further and the loss I would incur to make the swutch combined with the additional $$$ kind of puts a damper on it. I kind of like the idea of the CMP rifle. |

I recently went the CMP route for my first Garand and are quite pleased, it is easily the best $520.95 I have ever spent...I also was concerned about quality, don't be, there are differant grades of guns to choose from...I was advised by fellow members of Battlerifles.com for my first to go with a USGI Service Grade, and let me tell you, that thing is a shooter !!! Good Luck with whatever you decide... - Hate to see you get rid of an AR, in the true spirit of this site you really should have both !!!

Why would anyone buy a reproduction M1 Rifle? Not only do they not have any souls, they start losing value the second your credit card is approved.
Since match M1 is an oxymoron why would you buy a rifle from Fulton -- who doesn't win any championships anyway? CMP is the way to go. -- Chuck |

I could not be happier with my CMP rifle. I bought it with the intention of changing out the barrel. The problem was, that once I cleaned it up, the barrel was darned near new inside and will shoot 1" groups benchrested at 100 yards. No changes to this one till its wore out.

I was thinking of going the .308 route, but after shooting it and having a friend of mine who shoots high power look it over, and approve, I'm just going to shoot it and leave it alone ...
