I just got the email from the CMP on these additions to their online sales. This ammo sold out in about 2 days last time they had it, which was Feb 2012 and it was $90 a case.

Anyone have one of those .22 rifles they sell?

Why would a 6+ million springfield armory garand be worth $675, but a "regular" SA garand be only $625?

Less of them available, I believe. Only around 6 million Garands were produced total.

 

Only 99,905 are over the 6 million mark. 6,099,905 is the highest serial number
