CMP order

[fatfreadiescat]

Dropped my order for a M1 Garand receiver in the mail Thursday night.
Wanted to get one more before the price increase.

[Flintlock Tom]

Great! Good luck.
What did you order? Field grade or one of the special or collector grades? What manufacturer?
Fanatics want to know.

Just the receiver, added my very first sticky for a 6 digit SA.

[Flintlock Tom]

Wow! Sounds like an ambitious and expensive project is about to take over your life.
Good luck.

Compleat trigger assembly form Dupage for $69.Got single slot nut and new cylinder lock off e-bay for $35. $150 for barrel install and headspace and I'll have an almost new 6 digit (hopefully) M1 Garand. All I need is stacking swivel and I'm good to go

Nice work..............

Was offered a 6 digit with a new production barrel for $1050 so figure I'm still ahead about $300.

The hunt is the fun part.

Well done!
Patience and perseverance win the day.
