John: They have plenty of rack and service grade guns. Don't worry, they won't run out for the next 2-3 years.
The thing they ARE running out of are the $350 Danish-issue Garands. Those things are gonna be gone by December. |

What kind of shape are these garands? $550 is cheap, but are they worth it? Does anyone have pictures of their CMP Garand?

I can't find the website, but there were images of the CMP's warehouse and they pallets of M1 Garands stacked from the floor to the ceiling. The problem not is not how many, but this supply could be shut off. The anti-gunners have been complaining(to deaf ears at the moments) these weapons of war are being to used to commit crimes. So word to the wise, this endless suplly could be shut off by the govt, though not likely in the near-future.

I know I've made this offer before, and I will continue to make it.
ANYONE that is the slightest bit worried about the "rack grade" Danes, can buy one RISK-FREE, because if they don't like it, I will immediately buy it from them (at whatever markup is reasonable - like $100 or something). Since I have a C&R license, it can be shipped directly to me, without having to involve another FFL. So - no risk, no hassle. Buy one already!! Hell, anyone who is worried about the quality can buy TWO garands from the CMP, and I'll gladly buy the one they like the least - or I'll buy both, if they don't like either of them. Again, I'm completely serious about this. Anyone who is apprehensive about ordering a CMP Garand can take this to the bank (feel free to contact me). This is an offer I have posted numerous times in the past, and nobody has yet to contact me to take a garand off their hands. That should tell you that people are VERY happy with the CMP garands. Seriously - nobody has an excuse to NOT buy a Garand from the CMP (except me ).

OK, will order a CMP Garand, Danish. I am not overly enamored with the Garand, but I want one for historical purposes. I think I have my club card from the qualifying shoot around here somewhere. Do the scores expire? I shot the qualifier around 4-5 years ago. I also have a C&R.

I've been wondering something. One one of the requirements it lists a copy of your CCW as a satisfactory fulfillment of that particular requirement. However ... what about states like NH that are "shall issue" and don't require a class to go along with the CCW? Would that make the license unacceptable?

just send a copy of your license and don't sweat it.

Also,
You might want to consider the Greek trade ins. I got a rack grade Greek HRA return. $295 and the only thing NOT hra on it is the rear sight elevation spindle (a Beretta BM59 part...kinda cool). This thing has the original barrel, not a arsenal rebuild, great wood, great finish and outshoots my Service Grade SA and HRA! Best damn $295 I EVER spent! Rich |

Hiram,
Yep. They're nice. Of course, you do always take a "gamble" getting a rack grade BUT I've heard a lot more praises (I think my experience with the rack grade greek HRA's is pretty typical) than complaints about the Greeks. I figger, it's a win win situation. For $20 more than the cost of a stripped Garand receiver from the CMP, you can get a whole damn rifle from 'em! If it's rough, just rebarrel and repark it, and you're still ahead of the game. Rich |

Sadly no.. Send in $25 to the GCA, Garand Collectors Association, they are affiliated with CMP, and at your OK, will forard to the CMP your information for club affiliation. |

Ouch  Does anyone know if the Greek ones are WW-2 era, or are they later? I'm pretty sure the Danes are mostly WW-2, but I'm not sure about the Greeks. If they are, then that's a killer deal!! |

What is the approximate time from submittal of complete paperwork and funds to receipt of a rack grade Greek rifle?

quickest time is to take your paperwork to cmp north store and hand select yourself from racks.

I went the Greek RG route and was VERY happy with the one I got. SA 1943 which is in great shape. Arsenal rebarreled in 1953 and another arsenal mark from 1964. Receiver is still in good shape with almost all the greenish tint parkerizing remaining. Wood was kindling but that was fixed with a Boyds walnut stock set. Can't go wrong with the CMP.

some are in rough shape. I hand picked mine at Camp Perry. TE 2, muz 1.5. The metal was good, the wood was serviceable but a real ugly European beech. I cleaned the bore and low and behold it was not pitted, just dirty. It cleaned up fine. For the price of a racker I got Service grade. $40 and I replaced the wood and now its fantastic. As funds permit I will certainly get at least one more. From the rest, this rifle will shoot 1" groups at 100 with milsurp ammo. That is certainly better than expected of the breed. Overall, quite happy and it would certainly be the last rifle to leave my accumulation. Be warned, Garands are far more addictive than ARs or AKs. There is something about that much power in each shot followed by the Chiiinnnng that just makes you keep coming back to it. |

Best Garand I've bought from CMP - about 10 - was a Danish.
Winchester, first Educational Contract reciever with no finish, VAR barrel. Furniture was enough to make a grown man cry, but 75 bucks of Boyd wood took care of that. |

several of the bama crew volunteered at the south depot in august. The danish guns were gone then with no more expected to come in. They have thousands of greek guns and LOTS of USGI still in crates that have not been inspected. They will be around for awhile.
Keep this in mind. The greek rack grade are a real crap shoot. Plan on buying new wood and a barrell to go with most of them. For 350.00 many are barely worth that price. We gauged several crate fulls that comletely swallowed a muzzel gauge while picking our guns. Most of the wood is cracked/broken and SEVERALY carved up by the greek troopers. I'd consider many of these parts guns at best. The service grade were a bit better. |
