with M1 Garands out of stock, 03's out of stock, What is CMP selling? Do they still have garands at the physical stores, or are they empty? I finally have some cash to spend, and now they are sold out

Like Fishkepr said, they are building up "select grade" Garands using the receivers they have left. From what I have read over at the CMP forums they will be using new after-market barrels and CMP stocks, so the rifles will look virtually new. There will only be a few thousand of these guns built and will probably sell for around $900. This measure is expected to keep the cash flowing until the CMP finishes inspecting and processing the 25,000 Garands they got from Greece a couple of months ago.

Damn, You gotta love those Greeks for not forgetting where they got those Garands from. All the Greek ammo too. What a great Time capsule ! We need a Spartan smiley  But the Egyptian will have to do.

The only other grade I have officially heard mentioned was "Salvage grade" which basically is a rifle put together with some unservicable parts and NOT intended to be an off the shelf shooter. There are plenty of rumors to be had about additional greek garands, but the truth is we just won't know for a while yet. Orest is being VERY tight lipped (I think they learned their lesson with the carbines). Fact of the matter is we'll know when they want us to know. |
