My first Garand!!!

[IEShooter]

Fedex just dropped it off. H&R Service Grade Special. Gun looks awesome!! Only signs of wear I can find are on the top of the rear sight. The rest looks like it just came off the assembly line.

Armorer's tag says muzzle of 1+ and throat of 2+. Stock is new, which is what I wanted.

Can't wait to take it out shooting this weekend!!!!

That's sweet! Welcome to the M1 addiction. Now, all you need is a Springfield, Winchester....

First thing is first.
1. Use some grease pots on the bolt lugs and the op-rod channel. The CMP paperwork has more info on that.

BEAUTIFUL Garand Sir. Perfect coloring on the wood.

this is a CMP?

From your other thread, you said you ordered on 12/28. So thats a 41 day turn around from order to reciept.

I'm on day 24 of my wait. If they're consistent, mine should be at my door on or around Feb 24th! I hope sooner!

By the way, your rifle looks nice.

Get a solid gas plug if shooting beyond 300 yards.

Rings

Why does the Garand have two forward sling attachment points? Just curious. I assume it is so you can attach the sling at either point. I'm curious as to why they put on two?

Anyone know?

[Milsurp Collector]

The most forward one isn't for the sling, it's a stacking hook swivel (not my rifles, web pictures).
