[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New CMP Garand Which One

Posted: 3/29/2008 2:32:49 AM EDT

I am preparing to order a new CMP Garand and have pretty much settled on a service grade weapon, but they offer both the Springfield Armory as well as he Harrington and Richardson Garands and I am unsure which one I want, any input would be appreciated.

I gurss it's just personal preference. I got a Springfield Armory back in Jan. They have quite a few H&Rs now. You may want to check out the CMP forum and see what the guys are getting.

As a note, virtually all of the SAs they're sending out now are 5mil SN 1950s production. They occasionally find a WWII SN, but apparently they aren't common.

HRA will be post war , with SA you have a chance of a WWII

Years back I bought a SA and it is in the 500,000 range - 1941 if I remember correctly. That was when they cost $165. It has the machined trigger guard and nice wood. I did not shoot it much since it was so nice. I just ordered a HR SG to be a shooter. I am hoping my HR will be as new and unused as they come.

My SA, which I got back in Jan was a '43 or '44, can't remember which. Will have to look it up again. But definately a WWII one. (reciever is anyway).
