So I'm gonna buy a garand from the CMP along with some ammo, it will be my first ever purchase from them. I am using the money from my tax return, which I was told to expect in "approximately three weeks". I understand CMP's lead time is pretty long right now, I don't currently have the money to pay for the rifle/ammo. Should I send in my order anyway, I figure the wait will be more than a month, and they don't charge until they ship so I would be ok, or does this sound like a foolish risk?

General rule of life is don't buy stuff if you don't have the money.

I sent mine in about a month ago. It took them about 3 weeks to acknowledge they had received it, and said it will be another 30 to 60 days.

I sent my order in on 01/17, I got the order confirmation email today. Based on current lead times, I'm expecting it to ship some time late next week.

It took about 3 weeks for me. But that was before the panic buying started...

Is it 30-60 days for the whole process (mail order received to ship date), or is it after they confirm it?

ETA-
Mailed off on 1/23/12, order confirmation received today, 2/8/13.

I've recently found the CMP forums.

You might check there, they have a pretty good thread on order/dbu/ship times.
