For half the price, you can get a CMP garand that will shoot just as straight. New on a garand does not look right to me. I want one thats been somewhere and done something. Mixed reviews out on the Springfields make the CMP even more attractive. You live in Ohio, a pilgrimage to the north store at Camp Perry is almost required. The folks there will help you pick a good one. Just understand and comply with their purchase requirements. Take advantage of the one government program designed just for you. Safest bet is a Springfield service grade. The real Springfield.

I was thinking about making a trip there. Is this something I can pick up the same day as long as my background check goes through? It has gone through everytime so I dont see a problem.

Leave them new SA Garands alone. Get you a real USGI rifle. Do what Shotar said go to CMP. You won't be sorry. It won't look new normally but it is sweet.................. WarDawg

It says that I must have a membership to a cmp affiliated club. Anyone list some websites I can go to for payment of this membership fee?

If you don't have a club near you, just join the Garand Collector's Association. It's $25 a year and you get a cool newsletter.

The Springfield Inc M1 rifles are reproductions without souls and lose value the second you sign the credit card receipt.  As noted, a Saturday morning trip over to Port Clinton will put you in M1 Heaven. CMP store has dozens of these rifles (if not hundreds) to choose from. You'll need your CMP "paperwork" in order prior to that to buy one, but that only takes a few days. Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association uses it's membership fee (~$20) to fund shooting in Ohio. Garand Collectors Assocition just keeps the money. At the store you'll probably find guys carrying collector's books, gages, and magnifying glasses. Don't be afraid to ask 'em for help. While you're at Camp Perry be sure to check out the M1903, '03A3, and M1917 Rifles for your collection. -- Chuck |

When you log onto CMP's site, click on "sales" and then "eligibility requirements" about half way down the page is "afiliated clubs" click on that to see if your area has one...Maybe one of our members could link it and put it up, I'm not exactly a computer genious and do not know how to !!!

My rookie .02. Official Garand match rules specify 30.06 only; you local club enforcement regarding 308 options may vary. If you wish to change calibers after a CMP buy, it only really needs a new bbl ($200 job at Fulton if I recall) and bullet guide.
I see a trip coming with my CMP club memberships and indoor 22 league results. Handpick there is luck of the rack in the public area, usually several yards worth of each model lined up in each category. |

The most important thing to know, is that shooting a Garand is pure pleasure, low recoil, very good accuracy, range and power...you will own a piece of history...there are few rifles as satisfying to shoot as the Garand, and it is a simple technology almost any gun nut can grasp. A must have!
