Orest stated they will be sold on auction, as I remember a few were sold at some of the Western match games for $2000 fucks. Fucks? means damn... I dont have 2gs to drop on another Garand. lol. I know some were getting luck of the draw USAF M1s.

and away we go... Just order a service grade and be happy like everyone else. Many are ordering service grades are getting NM marked rifles. I'm more than happy with the Garands I have... M1D SG, Dane VAR SG, SA SG, plus the M1 Carbine and 1903 I bought as well.. so happily "Away we go" your ass out of the thread if needs be.

Auction only.
Some people have found/received service grades put together by the CMP on salvaged AFPG barreled receivers but those aren't really real original complete AFPG rifles. Those who wisely bought one at the western games did good and I couldn't believe some balked about the sleeved 7.62 rifles which are a rarer AFPG variant. 
With all the cuts to ANG base level Marksmanship programs and some just closing them down more AFPG Grands in 7.62 and 30 cal will trickle in to the CMP. When my old unit pulls the plug on its program I'am going to ask the CMP if I can buy my issued AFPG Garand if they get it, would rather pay the $194 or $230 something dollars they are on the book for than $3k + they have been going on the Auctions though !

That'd actually be pretty cool if you could! the supply squadron here maintains the M1s for the Honor Guard on base, I've volunteered myself to help maintain them since its very rare to find a USAF member that knows his way around a Garand. |

He took it the same way I did and that was that you were calling the CMP "fucks". Sorry if that's not what you meant, but that's how it sounded. |

If that's truly the case he has my humbleist apologies, I let .mil slang for "awe shucks" flow through me again.

http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=90512 OP, I would scoop this up if you are serious about an AF rifle. They're not hard to put together. A barreled receiver is like a blank slate....you can build it up any way you want. thanks for the link. only problem is figuring the FFL issue with me being in Japan and all.

If one has the parts and know how, CMP has 7.62 MM Navy barreled receivers for sale now. I got one two weeks ago and assembled a damn fine rifle. Barrel was new and attached to a 1942 SA receiver. HTH i actually have a navy M1. i LOVE IT!!! pretty slick, are they sleeved or 7.62 intended barrels? is there really any difference between the two? |
