I know you guys probably dont care, but I'm so excited that I have to tell someone.(My wife is tired of hearing about it.) On June 14th I sent in my paperwork to the CMP for a field grade springfield M1 Garand. I received a shipped E-mail today. The FedEx person should be knocking on my door tomorrow morning. I'll let you know what shape it's in tomorrow. It took less than a month.

I care. I have 2 CMP carbines and 2 M1 Garands. I'll get one more of each this next year. I have good recipes for reloading the 30 Cal if you need them.

In the old DCM days, the postman came walkin' up with your rifle. Coolness...

Well it got here and I like it. It's my first Garand and I don't know much about them.

I'll try to take her out this weekend and see how she shoots.
I hope my pictures are ok, I'm still trying to figure out the whole picture posting thing.

Study the FM they sent, go the the M-1 section here and to Different's M1-M14 site.

I'd like to get into the whole CMP/C&R thing one of these days, funds permitting of course. Maybe after college...
