Swampy speaks the truth, when the CMP runs out many will be crying "why did'nt I do it" Cmp Garands are the best buy on the market, they are the real thing, not a reproduction, I ordered one on 6-25,(a S.A.) and as soon as it gets here I'll probably order another,(this time a H&R) I look at them as a peice of our country's history, God knows where they been, and how many G.I.'s carried it, Many people seem to somewhat put off by the requirements for purchase, A guy I work with wants one badly, but not badly enough to join a CMP affliated club, and shoot a match,(He wants to buy one for the same price as the CMP is selling them for) He'd rather buy from a someone else,(and I might add, probably get screwed, He is rather Bullheaded) All I can say is.. Get one while there is still a good supply, the day after they're all gone, the price will triple, and Never go down!!
