    CMP Arrived Today

    Two Garands, ordered a rack grade SA, which is actually a field grade, guess they ran out or something. Serial # is low 89,000's, stock is filthy, needs some TLC, barrel looks great, functions properly, great patina to the metal.

    The WRA has a mis-matched rough stock, all black metal finish, good barrel, functions, etc.

    The WRA Carbine is nice, though the stock looks weather beaten, all in all pleased, will post photos in next day or so.

    Took 4 weeks to get them from the time I mailed the paperwork.

            Pretty cool stuff: snagged a 5 digit and a GL stock. Happen to pull any uncommon/rare parts (lockbars, op rods, barrels)? I remember one of my first service grade Garands came with a WRA un-cut oprod and an LMR barrel.

                Frank my 2 SG National Post Service carbines arrive tomorrow. 23 days from sent to received.

                Not bad.

                Next on the list - HRA M1 Garand and HXP ammo.
                Next to me in the blackness lay my oiled blue steel beauty. The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received, or would ever receive. Gradually, I drifted off to sleep, pringing ducks on the wing and getting off spectacular hip shots.

                      I got the e-mail from them about 2.5 weeks after I sent it, then the order was going thru the motions and when I checked my bank I noticed the charge for the rifles, then I got an e-mail on Friday that said they were being shipped over night, but since no Saturday delivery on these, I got them Monday.

                        About the same for me. They had a big rush after announcing new SG carbines and the arrival of some HXP ammo. I think things are starting to calm down again...

                        Next time, send the paperwork in next day. It's all about when the papaerwork gets there that really starts the clock ticking...

                          Is that part of a grenade launcher sight on the side of the top Garand?

                            I got my e-mail this morning after about 2 weeks. Now to see how long until my rifles ship.

                              Yes.



                              Revolvers are not pistols

                              pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel
                              Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.
